Hey everybody,
I am a proud new scooter owner, and recently purchased a 2008 Linhai Aeolus 300 with 2400 miles. I have had an absolute blast on it commuting to school and riding with my dad (riding a Burgmann 650). It has great pickup and power, and the storage is incredible.
In the past couple weeks, I have gained enough confidence to venture out onto the freeway, but have run into a problem. While on the freeway (or even on a 55 mph. highway), the scooter will start to shudder and lurch; the engine will simply start idling with WOT, and will occasionally rev up to speed causing the lurching. My dad, who is literally a rocket scientist, thinks that the fuel pump is not keeping the carburetor bowl filled, thereby starving the engine of fuel and causing it to cut out at high loads (ie, 60 mph on an uphill).
I have been trying to figure out if the '08 Aeolus 300 model has a vacuum or electric fuel pump, and have received conflicting info from various sources. Also, I have yet to figure out how to access the thing once I know what to fix.
Anybody out there have a similar problem, or know where/what type of fuel pump the scooter has?
Thanks a bunch!
