I changed: Fuel pump Spark Plug Fuel Filter. I had beads of water Inside of my carb. So I may have water in my gas. Any ideas of how to purge the system of water. with out takeing off the tank. Starts ok, Idles ok, but when I take off the rpm goes up to about 3k or so then drops down and starts chugging to a kill.  |

Brndnpnt,
The norm of adding an additive to gas is 1 oz per gallon. You can drain the tank by pulling the hose off at the Fuel Pump or Petcock. How did you get water in the tank anywhos? Is your scoot outside all the time, if it is I would suggest getting a cover for it.

I drive all year hot and cold I think it could also be from condinsation build up in the tank as well. After I run some heet ISO through it and it still acts up I guess I`ll have to move on to what else could be wrong. :`( |

tbx-260 I did what you were suggesting I also put a hose that i had that was just smaller than the gas tank fill up hole and blew air into the tank pushing out the remaing gas... I also added some heet to the fuel...
I have been working for about 2 weeks on trying to figure out what the problem is with the bike... If I hop on the bike when its cold and take off it runs normal but when the bike starts to worm up it begins to run bad at least it seems after the test drive today. I dont know how much water it takes to make the bike run bad but I know water was there because when I took apart the carb I seen that it was all beaded up in the carb. I hope to have this resolved soon because I use this to go to work :/
all of this just happend one day on my way to work when I got off the I10
Thanks JR

ok,wait a minute,,it's 11pm here,i really can't go to bed until i give my 2 cents in this topic... i just couldn't imagine how some droplets of water can really affect or can cause a scooter not to run...i have lawnmowers, gas weedeaters,rototillers,, i havent used for so long,,the gas inside it's gas tank is almost 6-7 months old and it has survived few rains and cold temps outside and exposed.!!,, i just prime it and it starts running again..,,and on my boat too,,the gas on my boat is about 1 year old,,,i betya there's some water content in there,,but i still was able to use it last spring.....i see a lot of this post about water in the tank in other forums,,and they always advice to empty the tank and refill with fresh gasoline etc etc....for me, gas is still gas,,old or new,high or low octane,,,,what i will do is probably add fresh gas but not throw the old gas..jesus!!,,,and few drops of water really doesn't affect the performance of the scooter,,,NO!!!! few drops is just maybe 0.00001 percent of the total gas content....so please don't be so paranoid about having some drops of water inside your tank...there MIGHT be some other reason why your scooter is not runnin' but not water in the gas..gosh...anyway..hope you solve your scooter problem as soon as possible..good luck bro!!...(no offense meant).....now i can sleep,nyt guys  ..and some cars even run from 80% water: |

Brndnpnt,
From what you just said about it runs fine when you first start it and then as it heats up it runs like crap. I bet its your valves that need to be adjusted, if you had that much water in there it would be sputtering and dieing at idle and low speeds. It would not run good when cold and then act up on you. Also make sure it is not low on oil, and if it water cooled that it is not overheating. Overheating will also cause what your saying is happening which is not good because that means it is getting so hot it starts to seize.

Its been holding oil fine. I have been changeing my oil with Q_horse power full syn I have not had time to work on it for about a week but I did pick up some new vacume lines 3/16 so Ill see what that does.... also I did see it was a little low and after adding a half of quart of oil it did run a little better meaning stalling less when I start to drive away.... Mabe I should of included that the problem is not so much when I come to a stop but when I take off or make the bike go faster from a stop... When I did the valve is lined up the timeing chain mark with the other mark and set the gaps at 004 on the top and 006 on the bottom.. This is crazy it idels like a champ and drives nice at speeds above 35 40 just cant figure this out.. thanks ALLY Should I look at my rollers? |

Dirty airfilter will make you run rich and cause sluggishnes starting off and mid-range. So yes check and or clean your airfilter. As far as your rollers you can check them and see if they have flat spots on them, but usually flat spots will give you less top end due to not being able to move up the ramp easly.
