Scooter Assembly and Repair

September 2016 - December 2016


During the Fall of 2016, we noticed parts of two dismantled scooters lying in our labspace from a past project. We decided to try and use the remaining parts to assemble a scooter and make the engine roar again. After a lot of hard work, making missing parts ourselves such as pump fittings, troubleshooting the carburator and purchasing extra parts, the engine finally fired up. After some tuning of the carburator, we got the air to fuel ratio right, cleaned up the bike and hit to roads of Cambridge.
