I put a manual fuel shut off valve in my scooter, and if I ever forget to turn it back on, I get the same problem. It will idle OK when i start it, but as soon as I give it gas to pull away, it will die, until the remainder of the fuel in the lines are used. My point being, check your fuel system for issues. A kink in the line, or maybe your petcock is having issues. Try to let it idle for 15 minutes or so, then see what happens.

When I bought the scooter I was planning on doing the full PDI from 49ccScoot found here: 49ccscoot.proboards.com/thread/8006/chinese-scooter-assembly-pdiand they have a series of youtube videos showing the whole process: The dealer did a good portion of the PDI, adjusting idle, air/fuel mixture, putting loctite on, etc. At 74 miles my speedometer stopped working. I took the front apart and as it turns out, the cable broke about 4 inches from the instrument cluster. I bought a replacement cable from Autozone, and figured I would hammer out the rest of the PDI and fix the speedo in one day. Here are some pictures from the teardown/PDI.      Here is the new fuse holder I installed. I soldered the wires, used heat shrink, and then electrical tape for good measure.  Installed a new sparkplug boot and sparkplug. The stock plug was an NGK, but I swapped it with an NGK iridium.  Shot with the new tubing. The red is vacuum and the blue is fuel. I ran out of vacuum line and couldnt make the run to my emissions canister, so that will stay stock for now.  Manual petcock and new fuel lines. The section after the filter and connecting to the carb ended up failing. The hose was too large and I had fuel just spill out once I opened the petcock. I replaced that section with the stock fuel line after I had taken photos.   Once I put everything back together, it made the petcock a little difficult to get to, as the seat bucket takes up pretty much all the free space. I also put silicon on all the electrical connectors as I live next to the ocean, and figured it would be cheap insurance against corrosion. I put everything back together and now my headlight doesn't work, but that is a job for tomorrow. |
