Scooter Camshafts & Components

The massive spread of scooters started after the Second World War when quick technical progress contributed to the development of many kinds of industry. Compact and nimble, scooters received small wheels and convenient platform for the rider's feet, while the unique design allowed them to cope with traffic jams. These days, they look more modern, but the engine is still the heart of a scooter, with pistons, connecting rods, camshaft, and valves playing the major role in its functioning. Particularly, the camshaft is responsible for opening and closing the valves when the motor is running.

The camshaft has asymmetric cams or lobes in charge of engaging the valves following the rhythm of the engine. Even a single worn-out lobe can reduce the performance of the engine notably. Lifter tapping and backfiring are the common symptoms of the bad shape of the cams. In such a case, you need to check the camshaft as soon as possible and replace it if needed.
