Hi all and first off appologies for asking about Piaggio's on this site but I also own a Baotian BT125 so I hope that excuses me.
I would like to ask if anyone knows where I could purchase a second hand engine for mine, I only purchased it a couple of months ago privately and the previous owner proudly told me that he had replaced the belts and rollers.......boy did he do a good job!!!! On a blast round some of Cornwalls finest roads with the wife on the back we were met with the most awfull grating sound, anyway to cut a lon story short turns out that the previous owner had not tightened the variator correctly, this came loose, chewed the variator,starter ring,kick start assemble and, worst of all chewed the splines on the end of the crank, hence my request for a second hand engine, can anyone help please?
Also on another subject, before this happened during a routine inspection I noticed a lot of oil on the air filter foam, I squeezed it all out but after a few miles the foam was covered in oil again, any ideas please? I can not see any leaks so is it 2 stroke gettin through somehow and is this normal?
Well sorry for waffling and I hope you guys and galls can help me out, cheers
