This scooter runs but not very well. I just had some work done on it at Columbia Scooters but it still has some issues:
The carburetor needs work but Columbia said someone stripped out the screws necessary to remove some parts and pretty much recommended getting a new one. I'm not sure how that would work giving that it's a 29 year old scooter from Europe.
It could use two mirrors but I only have one and it's got a crack in it. You can see behind you with it so that helps.
They threw away my battery, which I think was rechargeable and replaced it with an old battery that didn't have much life left (and might be dead now).
The left side of the kickstand is somehow bent and it works fine but is hard to move with your foot.
The guy who sold it to me didn't have a title and thought I wouldn't need one. I tried to register the scooter with the state but after many months they denied my request, refunded my money and I couldn't ride it anymore. They basically told me I just didn't have enough information about it. If whoever buys the scooter would like to register it, I will do whatever I can to help with the process.
That's all I can think of as far as issues go. I had a lot of fine riding this when I first got it and had my temporary tag. If I had the time and money I would certainly fix it up, register it and ride it everywhere but sadly I don't and I want it to go to a good home.
