Hey Team... I have a 49/50cc Chinese scooter that will hesitate and sputter when I accelerate as I am going down the road say at 20-30 MPH. It acts up more if I just twist the throttle quickly and has a better chance of accelerating if I s-l-o-w-l-y twist the throttle.
Any idea if this is carburetor or spark?
The scooter will also idle very high at time then slow down and die out.
Confused...??
Thanks!

Sounds like it is running lean. Try adjusting the air/fuel mixture if it has an accessible screw. Alleyoop has a good write-up on how to do this here. itistheride.boards.net/index.cgi?board=tt&action=display&thread=12The high/inconsistent idling can also be cause by air leaks in the air filter housing,air to carb connection and intake manifold. Make sure all of those connections are tight. |

THANKS a million - I will tweak the carb per the instructions and see if this fixes the hesitation/sputtering... also will check for air intake leaks...
