Hello all!
I'm new to the forum and wanted to discuss my scooter. I purchased this bike in 2012 from a bike store in San Bernardino, CA. I got it home and really enjoyed riding it. Only minor issues such as fuel lines disconnecting and spark plug. After 3 months and 436 miles, it has sat up in my garage.... until this past week. 3 and 1/2 years!!
I tried to start it up but nothing happened. I changed the battery, spark plug, filters, fuel lines, petcock, oil & transmission fluid. IT STARTED UP!!! YAY!
Only thing is, after riding 2 miles in my neighborhood, it shut off while waiting at a stop light. Not sure what the problem may be.
While I was riding in 2012, I noticed gas was leaking from the side of the carburetor, the drain screw was missing so I just plugged it with another screw.... I took the screw out recently and drained the little gas that was inside and plugged it back. Could this be my problem??? Where can I get another carburetor screw?
Thanks for any help!
