Karts of Kaos
the many mowers guy
hey guys, I have been working on a moped scooter thingy for a friend of mine. it had an interesting problem. she asked my if I would be able to take a look at it and I said sure. she had stated that it had " just stopped running" while she was riding. and then it had been sitting in her neighbor's shop for like two years. I guessing that it had a carb issue. but as I soon found out, no. it had a completely different problem. when I would put fuel in the intake it would just spit back out at me. so I took off the valve cover and low and behold, the intake valve was coming loose of the retainer and the valspring and not closing all the way. and the rocker arm was just pushing on the side of the spring. it is amazing that it did not fall down into the cylinder. so I was wondering where is the best place to get a new: valve, retainer,and spring for this engine. it is a Znen QT5-11 I believe. oh and a little side note. once before something happened and she needed to replace the piston. I don't know what but my guess would be a dropped valve. thanks!
