New to me scooter- won't start  By  nfiniti913 (Read 708 times)

So, where to start.

Picked up a il bello 50cc scooter, and once I got it home, I gave it the old once over to check it out, before i attempted to start it, only to find out that it won't start.

Engine turns over with the electric start button, but no spark at all.

Pulled the cover, and checked all the connections i could find, and all seemed connected. Pulled the spark plug, and turned it over again no spark.

Pulled the spark plug, and it seemed fine, a little wet from gas. made me think it was flooded. 

But I did notice a plug that was not connected to anything, it had two wires green and black but it was not connected to anything...thinking it was the kickstand killswitch, I went looking for it, but couldn't find it.

So, all of that to say what should I be looking to test, repair and/or replace?

Is there a fuel pump, or is it a gravity feed type of valve? 

My preference would be to work this out for myself, as i don't mind turning a wrench or two.

So, fire away with some suggestions so this newbie to scooters can get to putting along....


Thanks in advance
