i finally got this scooter to run and idle like it is supposed too
but i had to change the carb to do it. i had one of them none adjustable
air/fuel mix carbs on my scooter. just like this post from last year
scooterdoc.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=250cc&action=print&thread=4826 . like ernie right off the bat
i had to replace the auto choke, it would run but not right. so
my advice is, if you buy one of these 2007 jcl 250 and you got the cap over your
fuel/air mix screw, save your self some aggravation and get a new carb. i bought my new carb as i went to get the cap off the fuel/air mix screw, the darn thing broke off.

Good advice, might as well get it done right away. You can just about count on some sort of PITA pollution issues to deal with on any year scooter anymore. Setting them too lean and covering the A/F screw is just one of them.

I just noticed on that link that Proboards is archiving old posts on Scooter Doc now. That shows we've come of age. Rich
