this is for all you guys with a lot of experience on this site. Today riding the scoot, running great, no problems then all of a sudden in traffic, loss of engine power, nothing els just engine power. Got over to the side of the road and the engine stopped. Let it sit for a couple of minutes, then it started and I lightly throttled up to slow speeds and it ran OK for the rest of my ride about 30 miles then home. What in the world caused this annomally? I've done all the maintenance plugs oil, lines, you name it! any help out there would be greatly appreciated. Tahnks MA

I'll start with my solution first. My Vog would run fine and then just periodically stall, and this eventually became a starting issue as well. After going through many suggested fixes, I ultimately traced it back to the brown and yellow wire that goes into the CDI simply being loose. Specifically, I saw that all the wires going into the plug clipping into the CDI have little rubber "gaskets" aroung them. The brown and yellow wire had its gasket hanging out and some of the metal connector spade visible where the other wires were neat and hidden. I pulled that wire out, re-fit the gasket and plugged the wire back in, and haven't stalled in over a year.
When I was on scootdawg looking for help other Vog owners mentioned a torn diaphram in the carb as causing problems, as well as a cracked manifold elbow (the plastic pipe that holds on the carb). All worth a check.
While you're waiting for a response, go to the old site and in the Google search pane put in trailheadmike Vog Stalling and you'll see all the great responses I got to my old questions. Keep us posted.

I wasn't too fond of my BMS 260. On mine, the whole dashboard basically rambled apart, the exhaust bolts fell off, the exhaust gasket blew, and the belt was worn out, all under 2250 miles! I sold it, glad I got rid of it!

I have major difficulties with my 260 as well. The dash rambled loose too. It died many time while out riding. I've done a lot work on this to get used to shooter maintenance. Tires, Brakes, Maifold, Air clearner mods. Bulbs, battery, throttle cable, wind shield, trans & engine oils replacements, variator replacement. some farings due to falls and one by the dealer to dealer transport. The belt has over 13k miles on it. Max

It is behind the dash. You need to take off the faring. I was going to post the vog panel dissassembly guide I've always used from the old site but I see since it shut down there are no more pictures. Here is a link - perhaps the description will help some. Feel free to pm me with specific questions. scootdawg.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=200cc&action=display&thread=8997
