My idle speed is usually relatively low but constant with no stall out.
Lately, when I come to a stop it will drop off and then start to slowly speed back up to the point I need to almost hold back or she will take off. You can feel her trying to move forward.
Any suggestions on what to check?

Re: Idle speed taking off at times
The throttle screw on the carb, turn it outward (counter-clockwise) in quarter turns and ride it until you find it not doing it anymore. If you haven't cleaned the carb, do so. And the air screw may also need to be adjusted.Scooterspal wrote:My idle speed is usually relatively low but constant with no stall out.

The three screws on carb from top to bottom: thorttle, air, drain.
I'd suggest downloading the manual in the Tech Docs area of the site, it will have the specs for all your parts, including proper air screw adjustment although some people have better performance with different settings, depending on climate and other variables

If what other people have mentioned doesn't work then you may want to start looking at your vacuum hose and inspect it for cracks. A leak in vacuum can cause strange idle situations.
