Hi everyone!
I have a 50 cc Chinese scooter that is about 6 years old, with just over 7500 miles on it. There was some goop in my gas tank, which got into my carb and clogged it up. Even after a good cleaning, I wasn't getting the performance out of it that I previously had, so I replaced it with another 18mm intake carb.![]()
I've adjusted the idle and A/F mix every possible way, and still get sputtering at about 3/4 throttle. As the electric choke is engaged, it runs just fine (even at 3/4 to full throttle). I've also noticed that when the temps are cooler, it runs better than when the temps warm up outside. I'm convinced this is a carb/air/fuel problem, I'm just not sure where to go from here as the carb was the only change I made. I suspect it might have something to do with the main jet -possibly it's a different size than the old one?
I see a lot of familiar faces (from the old dawg forum) so I'm really hoping some of you smart fellas can help a girl out!
Thanks!!
