And what type of scooter are those? The YY250TTXXX only means they are approved for air uses in the US - California for sure.

So which type of scooter are you folks talking about. Make, power size, year of build, maybe even the vendors name for the bike. YY250TT_____ does nothing for describing the make and model of the scoot.

I will try that as two have suggested this left foot for pushing position. Just does not seem right to me but worth a try.

Try this link and scroll down the page. You may find your scoot in the array of photo's. Not by Ranger but maybe by number. Anything on your title to help.

I just asked for a Roketa Ranger and found listings mentioning this particular scooter.

This one is the MC 54 250 that has the 244cc, vertical engine.

If so, there are many of these around and I have one myself. Look at my picture.

There is a cousin to this machine called MC 54B 250 that has the larger, 257cc engine with the horizonal engine.

I have a 244cc Roketa MC 54 250. I had a leaking seal on my gas gauge. Fixed it with some gas safe sealer after I cleaned off the stuff that was on their. Two years later, no more leaking.

At three years the battery failed me about 4 miles from home. I had kept the scoot on a battery tender all the time. It started right off and after the trip to the post office I cam out and it would not even try to start. I was thinking about how to get it home or started and a guy in a pick up that looked like a handy man driving pulled in. I asked him and he said yes. Amazing, first ask and a start. I still keep the battery tender on but will likely start leaving it off for at least one day if planning on driving any distance. I can beg or walk locally but out of town would be a challenge.

So far, not many problems yet. But I am not doing as many miles as many folks do. Had all covers off more than once. Not hard but to me very aggravating. Too many are made to look fancy and I would prefer a service design with side panels that could be removed easily for service and repairs.

Anyone remember the old Cushman's and the 6 bolts to remove the entire cover? Sure was basic and functional. But not very sexy at all.

It is different than mine for sure and it is under the floor boards too. If you need to remove the float it is connected by at least six inches of wire. Remove four nuts and work it carefully outward so you don't somehow break, bend, or otherwise destroy the float assembly. You should first check the wires to the float and make sure they are properly connected.

To get the floor boards off you may be able to take a few screws off the front panels on the sides near the floorboards. Same on each side of the rear panels near the floor boards. This may allow you to flex them a bit in order to get the floor boards out. Also may need to remove the metal foot boards on each side in order to get to some screws holding the floor boards down.

I thought that for what looks like a simple job was a bit difficult and confusing, but I did manage it by myself. Be sure this is what you really need to do before starting.

If your front panel under the windshield can be removed that should give you a chance to look at the wiring on the back of the instrument panel. I think. I had mine off a couple times and believe I could see the instrument panel and wiring. It has been near two years since I did that.

It will be a good chance to see how your scoot is put together. On my scoot the rear panels can be loosened and then split at the front end and slid to the rear. The rear stayed together with a couple hidden screws. If you need to take the back panels off then you may need to take a couple pieces of the under seat compartments out too.

Good luck with it. Not real hard but to me it was slow and frustrating just to get my sensor out so I could make it to quite leaking.

A photo story like Allyoop asked for may be handy for others see and offer help.

I do agree with your idea a model and motor as that is the way I mostly post. I say MC 54 250 with vertical engine.

If you go into Roketa and see all the machines they do sell and how they identify them you will find that MC 54 250 is sold as a vertical engine 244cc. MC 54B 250 is sold as a 257cc horizontal engine. How those machines ended up with other engines could be from some very sloppy paper work. That of giving a buyer something that did not match his purchase or the dealer shipping the wrong product of what was promised or just plain confusion when ordering, I don't know for sure. When I ordered my scoot, I at first thought I had ordered the bigger engine. When it arrived I found different and right now glad I did not get the 54B model with the horizontal engine.

All scoots are shown and the proper parts are also shown.

Where I live right now there are no scooter outlets, but I did find a motorcycle dealer that said he would work on my scoot if need be. Just wonder how much his clock time might be for such service. So far I have done my own work and it is slow with all those pretty panels hiding everything. If I buy another I think I will look for one with most of the mechanical parts exposed. I really don't need all this pretty plastic in my way.
