Scooter Won't Stay Running By beo111 (Read 1,592 times)

I have a 50cc Peace Sports with a little over 100 miles on it which I purchased early last year. I used it all summer and fall with no problems, and even adjusted the valves to .004 and .005. I winterized it in November last year (used sta-bil also) and tried to start it up for the firsts time today. It runs strong at high idle for 5 - 10 seconds then it just dies every time. Also, as soon as I give it throttle it dies immediately. I have a 150cc Roketa which I winterized also and had no problem starting it up. I kept the batteries on the charger throughout the winter so that's not the issue. My voltmeter is reading 12.9 on the battery. Any suggestions? I'm sure this has happened to others also

STA-BIL...no you need to drain the tank in winter...the 50cc probably has smaller jets than the 150cc

Now the carb and jets need to be cleaned...

Thanks for the help. I will clean it and let you guys know what happens.

Thanks guys. I cleaned the carb and it started with no problems and have been running fine ever since. Thanks!
