I ride alone, only one I had on was my daughter about a year ago, drove home maybe 1/2 mile. But there is nothing like the open road, sometimes when I'm in the scoot zone I don't even stop ;D

Alleyoop, I think I found out what it was, tight valves  when I did the last valve adjustment was when it broke down, We did a quick valve adjustment, and recently I got thinking ( scoot wasn't cold enough, Alley recently start quick, as I ride and stop my idle kept crashing low, couldn't keep the idle up. The exhaust was a .003  and the intake was also tight hard to get a .003 in it (dumb) Just finished up, start good and sound good, hopefully it fix now. |

Good idea Dave, I'll check it out later to day, but I've had this problem off and on for a long time. All new fuel line, vacuum lines, fuel filter, I adjusted the float in carb, about only thing I haven't replaced was the fuel pump |

Going to work today, scooter shut off, pulled fuel line to carb and cranked it nothing comes out, then sprayed carb cleaner in diaphragm twice before it would start, got it home and tried to start again; it would run a few seconds and then shut off, after few more I got it running again, I think I have either a bad or weak fuel pump, I'm going to buy one soon. any advice in which one to buy? Tonight I'm going remove fuel pump and open it up and see whats going on with it  Attachments:

Hi Alleyoop,
Where did you get the hardware for that job? I know on the side of the carb there is a piece of metal with a hole through it for a bolt, I'll have to look and see if there is a place it bolts up to.

Not too long ago I installed a new manifold intake, which they supplied a clamp also. I have noticed that this clamp is worthless it keep coming loose on me. Can anyone tell me where I can get some good clamps that don't work themselves loose Attachments:

Did you try both brake handles? if you have a bad brake switch, scooter won't start, Got to squeeze brake handle to start scoot. Attachments:

I too get wind gusts here, you need to learn to balance your scoot in that wind (it takes practice), the other day the wind was hitting so hard my scoot was straight, but I was leaning, sometimes it can get scary  |

I would just add, check axle nuts (front & back) to make sure they are tight |

and the intake was also tight hard to get a .003 in it (dumb)
