Hi All,
My scooter has been silent for a year or more (250b machoman with Yamaha copy).
I had a big C scare in worst possible area (you know what I mean guys)
. After that I had to have a total shoulder replacement (yeah, life sucks sometimes) 
. I now feel ready to start scooting again. I can lift my leg again (no dog jokes please) and I can hold the handel bar without any pain 
.
Put some fresh gas in the rascal and it fired up pretty quickly and after several attempts went to idle and slowly rose to 3000 rpms and stayed there, even after a 15 minute warm-up. My scoot always idled at 1900 rpms). When I gave it throttle it starts to sputter at 3100 rpms and then stalls out. If I quickly let up on the throttle it will go back to the 3000 rpm idle.
Here is my question: What do you guys/gals think, carb or valves or both? I treated the gas with seafoam and ran it before the gas was drained and the scoot put away. I put on 132 miles since the valve adjustment. I have made no adjustment to the carb yet as I wanted to see what everyone's opinion is on this.
On another issue, I was the guy over at the dawg that was giving away a set of 13" tires. I was going to send them to Jonwayrider in SC. But the health isses came up quickly and I never followed through. If jonwayrider is here I apologize and if you still want the tires they are yours. For you I will pay shipping.
Thanks.
