Hi guys, im looking for some advice, i have recently purchased a 51 plated aerox 50cc for £40 yes £40! it needs a few bits doing to it but for £40 i took the challenge. The first thing that was wrong was no power, its been stood for 5 years and is a bit rusty etc, so threw a new battery at it, still nothing, its the lcd temp gauge model and there is nothing showing, so tried kick starting, still nothing, even after cleaning fuel tank out, fresh fuel etc.got frustrated so took carb apart and there was white crystals in the carb float bowl, tried taking main jet out but in the process it snapped the main jet sleeve. after searching on ebay i found an engine, carb with airbox, loom and forks (as mine were pitted). HOWEVER on assesing all the parts, the carb on the ebay swag has (what i understand to be) electronic choke, the one on the oringinal carb didnt (cable type). So my question is this, if i fit the new loom, engine and carb, will the clocks eventually work? im just wondering if anyone on here is experienced with the type of things. i did an engine swap on my honda x8r no probs, just easy as anything, but this has swayed me a little. Thankyou all in advance, if you require my email please pm me.

Hi everybody hope all is well. I bought a 2003 aerox last week and everything seemed fine, was hitting 60 no problem. Then a day or 2 later it started playing up a little, now it doesn't accelerate properly and won't go over 25? The back brake seems strange when I press it compared to the front as though its not doing anything, does this mean its seized up? I've also noticed a small leak from the casing round the bit with the spark plug I think its the cylinder head?? What's that mean? Is it bad? Thanks for reading and all help is greatly appreciated. :-)

I have just bought my first bike a Yamaha Aerox 100 I had purchased it for £200 as the bike has no mot or tax and has been stored in a shed for over a year. The bikes electric starter, indicators, brake light and everything else I can thing of do not operate apart from the headlight and this only operates when the bike is on (kick started) and it gets brighter as I rev it. the bike was stored without this problem and it has developed the problem while in storage. Any ideas? I have pretty much worked overnight to see what the issue is but to no avail. Thankyou very much!
