My
scooter is not charging
Make sure
the fuse in scooter is good.
Check the
wires behind the fuse holder and the charging jack. Sometimes they come
loose.
My
scooter will not start
Make sure
you have fuel getting to the carburetor.
Check the
spark plug for sign of wear and tear.
Try using
starting fluid to aid the starting process, spray a little into the
carburetor.
If it
starts by spraying starting fluid and dies as soon it runs out of
starting fluid then this means there is no fuel getting to the engine.
Check the carburetor.
Or there
might be vacuum leak in the piston area. If your piston is badly
scratched up due to the lack of oil, then you need to replace piston
and rings to compression back.
My
scooter is hard to start
Is the
spark plug dirty? Clean or replace it if it is dirty.
Make sure
the carburetor and the intake manifold are tightly secured to the
engine.
Check the
gasket between the carburetor and intake manifold. Sometimes the gasket
is bad and caused leak. Solution: replace new gasket or just toss the
bad gasket away and screw carburetor back. Try to start again.
Scooter
bogs out when I turn the throttle
Adjust
the screw with the spring on the side of the carburetor. Clockwise to
reduce gas flow and counterclockwise to allow more gas follow. Usually
bogged down is caused too much gas going thru the carburetor.
Give time
for it to warm up.
If that
does not solve the problem, you need a new carburetor.
My
scooter is leaking oil from the Carburetor and Muffler areas
Check the
gasket between the carburetor and intake manifold. It might be bad or
maybe the carburetor came loose due to engine vibration.
My
electric start does not work
Make sure
the squeeze the left handle brake while pressing the electric button.
When the
electric start make clicking noise, it means your battery is weak
Check the
fuse.
Is your
key switch good?
Is the
electric start giving out a burnt smell? You might have a burnt out
electric start. Sometimes there is no smell.
My engine
froze
The cause
is lack of oil getting to the piston and needle bearing areas. Certain
oil can’t cling on when the engine get too hot. As a result,
the needle bearing fell apart inside and caused the engine to cease.
You can buy a new a engine or try to rebuild it. Be sure to always
maintain proper engine oil levels to help prevent this from happening.
How do I
adjust my brakes?
Brakes
can be tightened by the handbrake area by the handlebar or by the wheel
area.
My
scooter is not holding its charge
Using the
headlight, electric start and alarm (if applicable) too much will drain
the battery.
Gas
scooter does have the ability to charge itself but slowly. An optional
charger can be for $25 at any local automotive stores.
Most new
scooters would have a full charge and it would be display on the
battery gauge. But in time, the batteries would loose their ability to
hold a full charge. That's normal!
Sometimes
charging the batteries too much even when they are not low. Most of
these batteries charging cycle are around 250-300 times.
Sometimes
store your scooter away for a long period would cause that as well. If
the battery power drops beyond a certain point, the charger would not
recognize it. Sometimes you could jump start the batteries by using a
higher Amp charger.
ATTENTION
RIDER!!!
Routine
check ups
Make sure
all loose parts are tightened before each ride. (such as the neck of
the handle bar, wheels, seat post, brakes, and ESPECIALLY engine mount
screws)
Make sure
tires are fully and well inflated.
Not
Recommended
Avoid
jumping off of curves.
Too much
weight on scooter can bend or break the frame.
DO NOT
ride on a flat tire. This is dangerous and will damage the tire and
possibly the wheel as well.
