I did not. Mostly because it and the motor are hot and it's hard to handle. Plus. ..I wouldn't think it would be a non spark issue because it will attempt to start and mostly does start...BUT soon as I get on the throttle. ..it'll die. Course I could be wrong and could use gloves to check it next time. Damn, sorry scripting. My reading comprehension sucks. I must have missed that earlier. I thought you put on a manual petcock. Look for cracked vacuum hoses <shrug>? |

Curious if you ever pulled the spark plug right away when it wouldn't start to see if you have spark or not? Use one of these if you like to spend money spark tester |

I'm pretty sure it's the opposite. The colder an engine the more voltage "spark" it needs to start.
Once you lose spark when running it dies. Not like a diesel engine that will attempt to restart due to compression.

You have way more patience than i sir.
From what little i understand. Probably not a fuel issue. Most likely not a vacuum issue. Most likely not a chock/enrichener issue (should still run/won't just cut out if it works,doesn''t) I'd be willing to bet it's also not an air issue either.
Lastly is a spark issue. Other than seeing if you have spark when it won't start...I don't know how to start problem solving that issue when it runs sometimes and sometimes doesn't.

My understanding <once again someone correct me>
Run scooter until dies, unscrew fuel line screw. At the least, residual gas from the line itself will come out. MORE than that will come out if fuel is getting to the carb and the float bowl is full, (bowl actually holds quite a bit of fuel). After all that gas comes out...one last test will be to hit the starter button for a few couple seconds...more gas should come out hose as the float bowl is trying to fill back up.
I don't know an easier way nor a better way to explain.
-in your video i didn't hear any stumbling before cutting out, only reason i don't think it is a gas issue. If gas was getting there then not....motor should start to stumble from lack of fuel before quitting. ?

I believe this is the line you are looking for. Should be on the left hand side bolted to the frame. Screw on the end.  If i'm wrong someone else please correct me. |

HA! Took awhile to find this thread..lol
Got the scoot up and running once again. Sometimes I'm a genius. Most times a moron. Road into work yesterday. Last night I decided to check tire psi which was a little low. Fill up the rear and as i'm trying to pull the pump hose off.....I rip OUT the valve stem!
Funny thing is i was telling my wife- figured out I need to ride the scoot 100 more days to have it pay for itself!! Woot-Woot. She told me nah, you will always be buying something for it to fix. Of course I told her NO WAY. It's finally all good...NOT!

I once "borrowed" a fuse from the wifes scoot. She still brings that up.
*Can't see how it's the carb, but think you are doing good eliminating things.

If when this happens it takes a long time to start, I would suspect the fuel filter or petcock. When it dies like this, try opening the carb bowl drain, if fuel pours out, it's probably not a fuel starvation issue. It runs great until I hold it wide open for a few laps around the hood. Then it sputters and eventually dies on me. I can dork with it, maybe let it sit for a bit and repeat. Seems like when it gets hot is when it acts up. If it happens when it gets hot then it should also happen just cruising around the hood. You only mention WOT which still points to fuel <shrug> My inexperienced guess |

Had it running good. Turned it off and buttoned it all up. Refuses to start now. How stupid is that?!?!?!
Pretty sure no spark. Maybe wire got bent so many times it broke inside? I'll have to test that later.
*just about ready to throw in the towel on this scoot.

Hmm...
I think part of the problem is I am trying to do as little to this scoot as possible. Started digging into it after she died on me in an intersection. Stupid me started removing the system before noticing that there was no gas in the hose. Before continuing I changed out the petcock for a manual one and hopefully won't have that problem any more.
Now since I started removing the PAIR i was committed.
I'm not trying to gain horsepower, acceleration, top speed, nor make it look cooler/better. There has to be a stopping point. Otherwise you change one thing and need to change another, then another, then another, and so on.
So hopefully i'm not hurting anything but decided to leave it like it is and try. Started up just fine. Had a gas leak cause the line is to big. Didn't get any further. Need to steal some small zip ties because the big one I had did nothing and still leaked.

Trying to remove it and the more I think about it the more it confuses me!! I removed the canister and it's 3 hoses. I think I only have one place to plug up now not including the gas tank vent which i will deal with later. Picture of the valve cover with only 1 hose coming off. Assuming this is a vent and gets left alone?? Trying to remember from last night and I think it goes to the air intake tube for the carb.  That's all? When i follow the hoses it just confuses me. Here are 2 more pictures that are kinda related.  I already took the hose off of this one and just need to plug up the hole into the air intake tube to carb.  Forgot, I still need to cap off the vacumm hose too. Really I just need to take out a "T" and then reconnect the other hoses together. |
