Gaskets for Scooters and Mopeds - M2trading.com
M2trading.com offers a wide variety of gaskets, ensuring the best fit for almost every scooter model. Your scooter or moped contains multiple gaskets, which play a crucial role in sealing different parts. Gaskets are used in the cylinder head, cylinder base, and exhaust. If your scooter is leaking, it's time to replace the gaskets.
What is a Gasket?
Gaskets or seals are components designed to fill gaps and prevent the leakage of fluids or gases. In scooters, gaskets help contain fuel, air, and combustion gases while ensuring proper exhaust flow.
When Should You Replace a Gasket?
A gasket needs replacement when it starts leaking or when you notice your scooter drawing in false air. Many people replace gaskets as a precaution when installing new parts since the scooter is already partially disassembled. Replacing a gasket afterward takes extra time and money.
False Air?
False air occurs when the engine takes in too much air, creating a lean air-fuel mixture. This imbalance affects engine performance, causing poor starting, unstable idling, or irregularly high idle speeds. A possible cause might be an over-tightened air screw.
Where and How Can You Check for Leaks?
Several locations on your scooter may allow false air to enter. Common leakage points include:
- Between the engine block and the cylinder base
- Between the cylinder head and the cylinder
- Between the intake manifold and the cylinder
- Between the carburetor and the intake manifold
- At the left crankshaft seal
You can check for leaks by spraying deodorant or another flammable substance on these areas. If the engine stalls or the RPM changes, you likely have a leak.
