Have you tried adjusting the air and idle screws on the carb? Warm up the engine and turn air screw clockwise until the engine begins to stall. Then turn it counterclockwise until the engine reaches its highest rpms. Leave the air screw setting there. Now go to idle screw and turn down until you hea...

Get a new petcock or fix the one you have. It is stuck open which allows gas flow all the time without vacuum applied. It is flooding out.

You can get Stabil at any Wal-mart store. Read the directions on the bottle for the amount to use. I always fill up a small 1 or 2 gallon gas can and add the Stabil to it. Shake the can real good to distribute the Stabil in the gas and then fill up your gas tank with it. You should add the Stabil to...

The main thing you want to do is add Stabil gas treatment to a fresh tank of gas. Yes it is a good idea to fill your gas tank to the top to prevent corrosion. Once your tank is full of the stabilized gas run the engine for about 5 minutes or take it on a short ride. This ensures the stabilized gas h...

Sounds like your electric choke is not operating properly. Test it or replace it.

First check for spark. Take out the plug and hook spark plug wire to the end of it. Hold the electrode of the plug against metal part of engine. Have some one kick it over or try electric start. See if you see a spark by the tip of the plug. If you have spark then verify whether gas is flowing to th...

Either that or take it all apart and let everything soak in carb cleaner for a day or two. I suspect your va...

Here we go again! There are many things I could say about you and I am sure many others out there would agree! This will just end up like all the other times we have battled and go nowhere fast. I just have to say it though! You were wrong! Yes Bear , say it with me! Bear was wrong! Lets spell it to...

You are one old miserable geezer! You can dish it out but you just can"t take it! I was waiting for him to post back just to see your reaction. You fullfilled my every expectation!

Remove your carburetor and disassemble it. Get a can of carburetor cleaner and clean every part of the inside thoroughly. Remove the main jet and spray spray spray. When you think it is clean do it again.

sorry guys final drive oil fill hole?? same hole as the check bolt? thanks Yes its the same hole where you drain the oil out. Just remove bolt, tip scooter way on its side to drain all the oil out. Put scooter back on centerstand and fill until oil begins to leak out of the fill hole. Its best if y...

I want to clean the carb still for sure. but ya the biggest issue is that noise its mak...
