Picked up a free 2008 Jonway By beachbum (Read 790 times)

A friends neighbor just moved and gave me his 2008 Jonway. It's been sitting outside for a year and he lost the keys in the move.

I know I can put a new ignition in, but the trunk and the seat need a key as well. Any ideas?

you can get a set of locks and the ing switch form may of the dealers here to get in the locked areas i would just drill the locks out and replace them with the new ones

I was able to tinker a little on it today. It's a YY150t-12. After cleaning the carb and charging the battery it ran for about 30 sec.
And then died. I cant get it to start again. I think I will clean he carb again.

I have great luck with Lilian Motors parts site. I've ordered many parts from them and they always ship fast. I bought an entire ignition/trunk/seat/gas cover lock set for $23.00 last year. Included all locks, ignition switch and all clips. Recently though, I've noticed they are out of stock for a lot of parts for my particular scooter. Maybe you will have some luck there. Here's the link.

I treated a bike that sat for 3 years without being prepped for storage - did not drain the carbs, did not add fuel stabilizer and had 1/2 a tank of old fuel. It started the next afternoon. I did not have to take anything apart to clean it.

Siphon most of the gas out of your gas tank or start with around a gallon of fresh gas. Pour in an entire bottle of 104 octane boost. Put the cap back on and push the scooter back and fourth a couple of times to mix the boost and gas a little better. Nothing crazy needed.

Now, if you can, open the drain valve on the carb. Be sure you have a catch can set up so the fuel does not go all over the floor. It should start draining, which in turn siphons the new fuel mix through the carb. Let it drain like this for a minute or so and close the drain valve on the carb.

Let the bike sit over night.

If you can't get to the carb drain screw, mix the boost into your fuel, cover the front of the carb with a bunch of paper towels or rag, and crank it over and over and over. This will flood the engine but will also pull the new mix into your carb without draining it. Once the paper towels are pretty wet with fuel, you'll know you've pulled enough through the carb.

Be sure to remove anything you used to choke the carb and let the bike sit overnight. You should have good fuel flow the next day. If that's your issue, it will run.
