Jonway YY50QT-66 50cc 2013 model year.
Well, I got this scooter brand new, 0 miles literally 5 months ago, to the day. I've been horrible at the upkeep, I'll be honest, but realize a bit late how important it is. 5556 miles later, she is not very happy.
The symptoms are funky, I hope I am descriptive enough.
So, you put the key in, turn it to the on position, make sure the kill switch is off(in the scooter still startable position) like normal starting stuff. Press the starter button and it turns and turns and tries. Nothing, maybe a quick sputter before dying, VERY lucky to get a start up. The main issue, it seems, was the fuel pet cock. Gasoline would not come out of petcock, but air would travel through the fuel filter(little yellow fuel filter looking thing?) through the hose and up through the gas tank. I have the petcock off the scooter and here next to me. The vacuum valve, the one on the bottom when screwed into the tank in the right position, will not let ANYthing through. Absolutely no air... So this means it's defective right?
So after thinking this, I searched around for solutions on bad fuel petcocks on little scooters and found my self on this forum, saw a solution with a Gas line Connector and a quarter inch brass hose connector, to bypass the petcock issue until I could buy a new one.... WELL... We still are not wanting to start............ Cleaned Air Filter, Cleaned Carb, Replaced spark plug a couple weeks ago and it seemed to run better, stopped dying(I wanna say stalling) mid ride before picking right back up.
Also got hit a while back, front tire and rim and fender got ran over. Front break light has been stuck on since, but the break isn't like stopping unless I actually press on it. Tire is a little wobbly but other wide fixed, and not loose or anything just SLIGHTLY bent, been driving around fine for at least a month and a half since. How would I deal with the break light staying on?
Constant clicking from the front, sounds like the blinker is on but clicking slightly slower and no lights or anything in correlation. Would that be a bad blinker/clicker switch?
So um.... yeah. My job relies on my scooter so I'm a tad stressed with absolutely no monies to fix it and no pay check until I can get it going again....
I'm not quite sure what else I can do here.
Someone told me I should get my valves checked?? (In relation to it not wanting to start)
But everyone else is all weary and telling me I don't wanna do that unless I know for a fact that I need to.... So how do I know if this is needed? And what if I don't have that fancy valve adjusty thing? Or a way to get one?
I know I have tons of questions, I wish I hadn't waited until so many issues happened to uh build up, but here I am. Desperate for help! Thanks. I will be trying to surf this forum for more ideas. :/
