Yes. The new seats look very nice. They are embroidered on the top and the side logos are sewed on. Only thing is the sewn on pieces should have been glued to the edges as the end flips up a bit between the sewn seam and the cut edge. No big deal.

Here pics is a link to some photos of the new 150 swing arm and rear shock mount. Much more stout than the older one. I included a pic of my 200 shock mount. It looks more like the ones that broke. Does it look the same or maybe upgraded since the early breakers?

thx

 

Can't quite tell from your pics but the 07 150 swing arm is different then the 250, it does seem to be built a little tougher then the 250 in that rear Dogbone area plus you will never get the air that you can get from the 250. So your 150 has the new seat? Will the 200 and 250 be getting the new seat?

 

Unpacked our blue Jetmoto 150 today - hard to start, idles for a few seconds, then dies. Won't take throttle. Hoping to get it registered Fri and run it this weekend. Ideas?

 

I and others had to adjust the clip on the carb sleeve needle. I lowered my C clip down 2 notches on the needle I believe. If I remember someone else had a simular problem as you and this fixed his, read past posts and you will find his posts.
There is a Idle adjustment screw on the side of the carb, also adjust your throttle cable so you just feel the cable pull on the carb as you push the thumb lever in. Make sure your governor adjustment screw is out to where it's not restricting.
If I remember I had a hard time with my Red 150 past posts on here may shed light as what I did. Are you using the choke, mine needs choked for about 15 sec after starting then I push it back in!

 

I think we've tried everything on the 150, still won't run. Have changed plug to NGK C7HSA, has blue spark, compression in the hole, vacuum at the air box, fuel in the carb bowel, and shut off valve flows when open.

After reviewing earlier posts, I removed the intake manifold and twisted the carb sideways, removed bowel, and the float/inlet appears to be working fine.

Perhaps someone can tell me what the specs are for these 2 screws -
1. front of carb, accessible from underneath - I have it backed out 1.25 turns.
2. right side of carb, idle adjust screw? - 1.5 - 2 turns out.

I also r&r'd the throttle cable cap on the top of the carb, cable/piston moves freely, governor screw is backed out.

No matter what I do, choke/throttle while cranking, the plug isn't wet. No fire even when I spray starting fluid in the spark hole (at one point I was getting a "pop" but not now) and I also tried spraying into the air box, still nothing.

This has me baffled.

you said it has compression right????

 

Ya perhaps the vales are not closing completely and not getting enough compression to fire, but you said at one time you had it idling correct? Have you turned the screw at the bottom of the float bowl to see if gas pours out of the bowl through the drain hose? I'm guessing you have! Did you lower that C clip on the needle, I know this ghas been an issue but still does not explain the lack of fire with starter fluid!

 

Yes, it started last night about 4 times, idle only, total running time maybe one minute. I did open the "bowl dump" and it had fuel.

I printed the msg about the C clip, had it with me when I opened the bowl - but couldn't figure out how to adjust the clip. As soon as the float leaves level position, the needle drops, so I figured that was working ok.

The plug fires when I ground it to the exhaust, and seems to me it has to have air since there's enough compression to push my thumb off the hole, and enough suction to pull my hand up to the opening on the air box (with the side cover off, holding my hand to the carb intake).

Does anyone have specs on those 2 screws? Should the one in the bottom front of the carb be turned all the way in?

 

I don't know, I have not adjusted my front screw. The side screw should be out about 2 complete turns then adjusted as needed for Idle. The C clips I have been talking about are on the sheave that is hooked to the carb end of the throttle cable. It will lower the needle that regulates the fuel. But still starting fluid should have fired that baby up for a few seconds and given some full throttle action as well.
Wonder if with the spark plug out you can determine if the spark is hitting about the same time as the compression blows your finger out? This would tell if the spark is at or close to the right time. Don't know if it's possible to have this fire off timing like on the exhust stroke!? Have you talked to John about this yet? This is strange!

 

mbergthold, Did you get it to fire up yet?
