Ok, lets check out the ENRICHER(CHOKE).
Before you start it in the morning or whatever(COLD). Take the ENRICHER OFF and look at the Plunger:

COLD IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS:



IF IT LOOKS LIKE THIS WHEN YOU TAKE IF OFF IT IS BAD:



Let me know what the results are.

thanks guys... after some research it seems like the autochoke is the most likely culprit. why else would the engine have trouble starting up cold, but then start up fine when it's warm? it's gotta be the choke. i read somewhere that the chokes on these scooters wear down over time and need to be replaced every few years. i have no way of knowing when the last time it was replaced, but it seems reasonable to go ahead and replace it. i found a relatively cheap one online for $30 so why not?

alleyoop, i will go ahead and check the one i have now when i remove it and let you know what it looks like.

anyway, regarding the new rim, any thoughts on the dust seal & collar issue? i don't want to take the old rim off and transfer the tire only to find out i can't install the new rim without these parts.

Did your new rim come with the bearings installed? Rich

[80ccsofawesome]

yes, it does have the bearings installed. are the seal & collar necessary only for installing the bearings? if so, that would greatly simplify things.

[sprocket]

No, they are required

[80ccsofawesome]

so can i use the collar & seal from the old rim?

Sure if they are still in good shape...
