I agree with swimming free, also check to make sure the o-ring on the bystarter isnt cracked or damaged

I've got two '83s and they both have this problem. One though, after riding it more frequently, the problem seems to be subsiding. Either way, when you clean the carb, note the pinhole orifice in the float bowl, and the emulsion tube that just presses in the carb under the mainjet. These are both easily overlooked. I think air screw setting may have helped too.

Greetings:

Bear, Why doubt ye the eighty-three? Could be '84s I guess. One thing's for sure: They're WAAAAYY cleaner than any scooter that old has any right to be! Nice quiver, RZ. :thumbsup:
