Nope. Those are not issues. I live in a suburb outside of LA, so its always either sunny or a little cold. The most we get is rain over here.
I think I have an idea of what to check then. I'll take a look at the carb first. Thanks guys.

She has about 2000 miles on her, and I generally use her almost every day except for the weekends.
I change her oil every 800 miles, so I've changed the oil twice.
The valves were adjusted for the first time by me about a month ago. Since then, no one had adjusted the valves since I first bought it.
The Scooter is not stored during Winter months. I typically use it during the winter months (I live in california).
I have not cleaned the carb since I bought her, which has been about two years, so that might definitely be the first thing I do.

Hello everyone. I've had a 150cc BMS Znen Heritage Scooter for about 2 years now and she's been a trooper since day one. We've spilled about three times and recently I had to adjust her valves after she'd no longer start. She's working now, but a few days after adjusting her valves, she started showing some weird behavior during idle. She shakes heavily when she's in idle, like you can hear the windshield and plastic rattle constantly. And when I try to go from 0-10 mph, she shakes even harder and accelerates very slowly. Once past 10 mph, she accelerates normally and doesn't have any issues, although the engine sounds weird (not sure how to describe it).Idling and accelerating from zero feels... rough, and I'm worried that it'll continue to get worse and I want to keep using her for a least two more years. Does anyone know what's wrong and what I should look at?

Alright, thanks guys! I'll try and handle it myself then rather than take someone to tune it up. Wish me luck!

Hello everyone. I've had my 150cc Znen Heritage Scooter for about two years now. We've done some basic repairs on her and she's been a reliable ride, but recently she's been shaking a lot and doesn't sound very good when she's idling. There are other issues as well, like her brakes, so I was wondering if it'd be a good idea to take her to a dealership or something and get her "tuned up" like with cars. Would that be worth it, or should I just sit down and work on her myself? Any opinions are appreciated.

Ok. We'll take her apart and figure it out that way, even if it's so difficult to really recreate the issue, since unless she's running for a while or over long distances, she works fine. I'll work on her on a weekend most likely and we'll see then. Thanks for the help, guys!
I would imagine that I would need an in-depth understanding of the electrical system on this thing. Is there anywhere where I could get more information and help on that, btw?

Update: Whatever it is, it's electrical. It's most likely a broken wire, as someone mentioned before, but the issue is, it's almost impossible to find, even if we tore the thing apart. All we really did was jingle and move some cables and disconnect and reconnect some things in the front and that successfully restored power. When I took her out for a drive and deliberately made the ride extremely bumpy, to see if anything would come loose, she still turned off and on fine. The only possible thing I can see is to either strip and replace the wiring or take her to the shop. -_- Any recommendations, guys? And if I do have to take her to the shop, how much would it run me, since it's an evident electrical issue?

It's not the fuse. We ran through it and checked both and nope, they are functioning fine. It's been almost impossible to really diagnose this thing because it only loses power when I use it for a few minutes and then shut her off. I went to my college, a 15 minute drive, and had power all the way until I parked and turned it off. Then nothing! But when I drove to my work, a five minute drive, she was fine! And all we've done to restore power is open her up and jiggle some cables around. What can possibly happen where turning her off drops all power?

One is a blade type of fuse, another is a tube fuse. I'll check and see if I can replace both or at least see if one's the issue. Updates tomorrow, but thank you so far!

I'll post pictures tomorrow to give a general idea of how it looks, but the issue arose after I parked outside a store while riding around town. I hadn't tinkered with it or opened it at all beforehand, so whatever happened, I don't know if it was us pulling something out. Like I said, as soon as I turned it off, the whole thing lost all power, even though it was running with power literally two seconds ago. When we took it apart and re-plugged everything in, it worked fine, until it lost power again. The scooter also does not have a fuse box, it only has two fuses. One is close to the battery, the other is near the front of the moped itself. I'll check both tomorrow and post pictures of the front and engine if the issue remains.

Absolutely no power. It's not that nothing happens when I hit the start button. Turning the key provides no power at all. I'll check the fuses right now with the voltmeter, but we checked those as well and they DID look fine. I'll check right now, but to answer the question, no power whatsoever. No lights, no instrument panel, no ignition.

My 150cc ZNEN Heritage Scooter has died. More specifically, the entire front of the scooter is receiving absolutely no power, and as a result, I cannot start the scooter. No lights, no instrument panel, no horn, no anything. But the battery and solenoid are working just fine. I checked with my dad by short-circuiting the solenoid and testing the battery voltage with a voltmeter. The solenoid successfully turned the engine on and the battery was outputting around 12.5 volts, which I believe is normal. So we isolated the problem to the front of the moped, with all the cable connections. We went through all the cables in the front, disconnecting and reconnecting all the cables in their proper place and tightening some of the loose ones with some tape. This succeeded in returning power and I could start the Moped normally from the front with the ignition switch. But then it behaved extremely erratically. We'd turn it on and off just fine, but then when we jiggled her a bit to make sure, power disappeared again and we could not turn her on. After playing with the cables some more again, we restored power again and found that if the cables where moved in a specific way, the lights on the instrument panel would flicker on and off. This is what allowed us to restore power and let the moped function normally from there. I took her out for a test ride to see if it was a cable that was coming loose, but I had power the whole ride, even when I went over some serious bumps. It was only when I shut her off that she goes dead again, and we have been unable to start her up again since. I had complete power before I hit the off switch, and after I hit the switch, absolutely nothing. What's wrong? To give some background, I'm about to hit 1000 miles on her and I've fallen off her two times. We're planning to take her for repairs on Monday but, can anyone shed some light on the issue? If needed, this is the specific scooter. www.powersportsmax.com/product_info.php/products_id/14966 |
