Ok...I would like to get some thoughts from my fellow scooter peeps in regards to my scoter issue.
Yesterday morning I began my 10 minute ride to work on my scooter (2011 Kymco 150cc Super 8). I got a few miles from my house when the scooter started to sputter and it eventually stopped running completely. Now the day before I changed the fuel filter so right away I assumed that perhaps I installed the new filter incorrectly. I removed the seat to check and saw that it was installed correctly. I then tried to start the scooter to return home and it started right up. However it sputtered and died again about a mile later. After finally making it home I took the battery to the dealer to have it checked and they told me that it was dead (2 years old). I bought a new one knowing that this was likely not the cause of the scooter dying. I installed the new battery and it ran great for a few miles again before sputtering and dying. I gave up and had the dealer pick the scooter up and bring it to their shop for repair. It is still under warranty so I am hoping that whatever is wrong with it will be covered. So I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts as to what could be wrong with it? I was thinking perhaps the fuel pump ?...thoughts?.....sorry for being so long winded.
