Hello all. I'm just getting into riding, was given a couple 2008 Jonway YY150T-12 scooters by the in-laws. They've been sitting pretty much the entire time, only 5 miles on each. Since they've been sitting so long, I was bound to have trouble... I'm just going to get one working for now, and probably use the other for parts, as my wife has no interest in riding scooters. I replaced the battery, checked the oil (still clear gold), and ... can't get it to start (I tried them both, but am sticking with the one because the other apparently has a fuel leak). So I've come here to get advice while I'm cleaning out the carb (thanks to the info on the old site). If you are of the helpful sort, please check out my thread on the issue: itistheride.boards.net/index.cgi?action=display&board=50ac&thread=4036

howdy and welcome to the forum. i'm sure those knowledgeable ones here will jump in and tell you to clean all the old fuel out and remove and clean the carburator. if i was doing it, me being the lazy type, i would after cleaning the old fuel out and verifying spark , i would probably refill with fuel and add seafoam to it and if it still wouldn't start i would give it a small small puff of starting fluid in the air filter to see if that stirs up some action. but that's me.
lotsa miles and smiles to ya ken

I was able to get it up and running just by cleaning the carb. I stripped it and soaked the jets and other little parts, and that did the trick. I tooled around the neighborhood a bit and enjoyed myself thoroughly. Now to dodge the mod-bug...
