Guys thanks for the responses. So I went out to the garage this morning to tinker with it and I can't get it to turn over. I went to start it with the electronic start and it just cranks. It won't start. Could this be battery related? I turn the ignition switch to in and tried to turn on headlights they wouldn't come in but turn signals still worked. Back to square one to try and get it to start. I messed with the kick start but no luck.

It idles at 800 or next time at 2000 it doesn't really move too much it just idles low more often then not. It acts like its not getting fuel.

Apop. They supposedly do service but he acted amazed I was having problems.. So what steps would you take from here and any how to links??? Thanks. I bought it from dirt cheap ATVs in Milan IN if you Google them you can see there site only paid $699. Thought it was a good deal. Didn't know I'd have to tool with a brand new scoot.

It idles around 800 or sometimes 2000. Why would a new scoot do this?

It has shut off on me at 50mph before or when I'm slowing down and retracting the throttle.

Apop.. It starts up and seems to idle low since I put first tank of full gas in it. Sometimes at idle it dies. If you ride it for 5 mins it starts to stall even when trying to give it more throttle as it's stalling. Then I go to try to start it and it just cranks even after 5 attempts. So I'll let it sit for 20 min and repeat all over again. Like I said its new. Stock everything. Just doesn't seem to idle good.. Too low or sometimes to high and after riding a few minutes it bogs down and shuts off

What wire are you talking about. I called the dealer. They weren't much help. They said probably water in your gas. Use half cap of seafoam. They said to swap the sparkbplug as well. It seems to not want to stay at idle at stop after a few mins of riding. It won't even do anything when I hit the throttle as I'm stalling. Its just frusyrating u buy a new scooter and I can't even hardly ride it. I did top off the tank when I filled it up. What is the bar in the middle of the inlet on the fuel tank where you fill it up?

Hey everyone. Just purchased my first scooter. 2013 150cc Tao Tao Powermax 150cc. I just bought it yesterday. Filled up with  octane. Went to start it and it was idling real low and rough. As soon as I hit throttle it died. I may have flooded it. I waited a bit and then it started up. I rode a few miles and then it died on me even when tryingto give it throttle. I don't know what is going on but once it dies it just cranks and won't turn over unless I let it sit for 20 mins then it idles rough again and stalls after riding for a few minutes. Any ideas. Its brand new! The dealer is over an hour away. Am I not letting it warm up long enough? |
