Sounds like the starter clutch may be bad. It happens when you least expect it. It takes some effort but you can change it yourself. Just Google it for some instructions and videos on how to do it.

I had the same reaction from a " Real bike rider" at work. It went on for a couple of weeks. I finally shut him up by telling him that I would meet him at the local Honda dealer on our next off day and that I would be happy to ride any motorcycle that he would buy for me. Haven't heard a peep from him since.

I've rode in 20 degree weather, It was sunny and clear and I had a blast. I ride in all 4 seasons. After all It is the ride that counts.

Well the valve adjustment didn't help the backfiring issue. It did make it run better when it finally cranked. One thing I found out by accident is the thing will crank up when I have killed it the day before with the kill switch rather than the ignition key. Anyone know why this is?. It will crank after a few revolutions even on a cold morning. It hasn't backfired since. Weird.

I have 2 linhai aelous 300 scoots. One with 10000 miles the other with 3100 miles. Love riding them. They handle like a dream.

That is NOT where the timing chain is, WATCH THE VIDEO it shows you where it is at . It is on the LEFT SIDE of the motor by the HEAD where the valves are. Alleyoop Thanks for your effort to help me. I must be stupid because I don't see it. At least not in the slide show you provided. It does not show were it is or how to access it. It only shows the timing chain after the cover has been removed. I will look to see if I can locate it visually. My eye sight aint what it used to be but I do not see it in the link provided. Again thank you for your effort. I did not mean to ruffle your feathers. |

I removed the variator cover to expose the belt. I did not see a timing chain. Is there something else to remove to access the timing chain. |

If it backfires starting it, it is getting to much fuel check your air filter it may be soaked with oil and not enough air is being sucked in which would then get to much fuel. Also if you haven't adjusted the valves in 2700 miles it is time, the exhaust valve is probably tight and not sealing and it is losing compression. Alleyoop Went to adjust the valves there is only 1 timing mark that I can see. It is just above the dip stick (After removing a small plug). There is no mark on the variator side of the scoot. I have watch videos posted here of similar scoots that show 2 tdc marks. Am I missing something or is there only supposed to be 1 mark on these linhai aelous 300 scoots?. I am afraid to do it before finding out for sure. Don't want to screw up. Thanks folks. |

Hi Thanks for the info. I adjusted the air/fuel ratio It did not help. I will check for loose air lines etc on my next off day. I will also pull the air filter and check it as well. The valve adjustment will be a fail safe action as I needed to adjust my valves on my other linhai 300 at 9000 miles. Each bike maybe different though. Its funny because once it cranks up it runs like a bat out of hades . I will change the fuel filter and plug when I am inspecting the vacuum lines. Cant be too much wrong with it i don't think. I am continued to be amazed at the power of this bike. It will really fly. For the $890.00 I paid for it I cant complain.
Thanks guys.

My aleous 300 has developed a problem. It occurs after it has not been started for a day or 2. Simply put it will turn over and spin until it spits and backfires a couple of times then it will start and run fine. The motor is strong and smooth. I am confused. Any ideas folks?. It would sure be appreciated.
Thanks.
P.S. The scooter has only 2700 miles on it.

I just bought this scooter. It has 2300 miles on it. It was laid down on the right side creating minimal damage. Just a few minor scuffs. It runs very well. I now have 2 Linhai 300 scooters. Oh joy. Which one to ride?. For only $890.00 I could not pass it up. It is as smooth as silk. What do you folks think?. mobile.craigslist.org/mcy/4099927967.html |

Check your intake manifold. I am on my 3rd one on my scoot. Check for cracks etc. I had a similar problem . The intake manifold fixed it up. The valve adjustment is a must do.
