Hello. My scooter is giving me a lil crap starting. I have to kick start it now. When I try to with the auto button it starts to turn over then stops and like hisses. It starts when I kick start it though. If its super warmed up (I have only had it off for about 30 min or less) i can start it no problem w the button. Not quite sure what the prob is. Well today it started giving me a lil crap accelerating. The scooter is 6 mo old and has 1,800 miles on it. I have kept up with oil changes and it has a new spark plug. The battery also tests normal. I am thinking maybe I need to clean my carb as its kinda over due for this. The scooter was only $1,000 new and I dont have a lot of $ to spend on it nor do I want to invest a lot of time on it so I was going to try to clean the carb myself. I saw a great carb cleaning video however it looked like u had to take the whole thing out of the scooter and apart. I'm kinda nervous I wont get it back together or that i'll mess something up. Is it at all possible to just take off the cover and spray some cleaner down into it, I mean it is possible this could help and not damage anything in the process. I'm just looking to get this thing to work for another 6 mo or so before I buy a new one . Would this not help at all, do you really have to take it all apart. I'm a chick and I'm pretty good with things like this but I am nervous about taking the entire thing out and then taking it apart and getting it back together after. Thanks.
