Loss of power

Post by oncewaslost1982 »

I went for a ride through the neighborhood on my 87 spree and it did fine. Got back home and let it sit for about 20 minutes and went to go out again and it will not pull a load. It idles fine and I have full throttle response with it on the kick stand, but when i get on it to go it just bogs out and wants to quit. Any ideas on this? Causes?

sounds like an issue i'm having...i'm wondering where the mixture screw is located? like on the side of the carb, there's the 'Throttle Stop Screw' and the 'Air Screw'...is it one of those?

or should i be looking elsewhere completely on the scooter?
