Hi
Newbie here
I picked up a cheap Taiwanese scooter as a non-running project. It's had a hard life. It's a 2010 with 7k on the clock and been off the road since 2014.
When I got it the battery and spark plug were missing so I've replaced these and got fuel but no spark. Upon investigation I found one of the LT terminals loose and the other completed detached. I surmise that this might be the reason it was taken off the road.
With the coil connected it did eventually start with a bit of cranking on full throttle. However it was loud, wouldn't idle and was just trying to cut out even with throttle. Also wouldn't rev freely. The loudness was a very large hole in the exhaust expansion chamber. I've ordered a replacement.
So I stripped down the carb and cleaned it out, it was pretty clean to be honest. I dumped the 4 year old fuel, it was yellow and pretty stinky, and replaced it with fresh fuel. I reassembled the carb and tried to start it. There was no change.
It will start with some throttle but won't rev freely and wants to cut out. The exhaust won't be helping but shouldn't stop it running should it?
Any ideas for what next to check?
Thanks
raddders

So I checked the carb again and both the pilot and main jets were blocked. Cleaned them out still no better. Checked again and they were again blocked. I noticed some discolouration on the bowl and as the petrol evaporated it dried into a flakey powder. I guess crap from where it was left for 4 years. So I cleaned this all out until it was spotless. Put it back together. No difference
Which circuit does it start on? Cheers |
