Ok so I started my scooter first time this season, I know I'm late anyway it's a 2009 Propel 250cc with the honda clone motor dc CDI, it was working fine when I put it away last year now the headlights are very dim not legal to drive, no tail lights, no instrument lights, I have horn, brake, and turn signal lights, also if I hit the passing switch the headlights light up full power and the blue highbeam lights up on the dash like its supposed to,cant fine anything that pulled out most be a short??, any Ideas?? also with this scoot headlights only come on with the engine running...

Ok so I got rid of the air box and the charcoal canister, I bought supposedly a PCV valve, see arrow #1, is this where it goes?? this hose connected to the air box before, Arrow #2 goes to a nipple on the bottom of the motor and it was just barely hanging on too short no hose clamp or nothing, so I got a longer hose and used a hose clamp on both ends, so now it is sealed, also I noticed that there is a hose that goes from the radiator fill neck to the carb and it has antifreeze/coolant in it, so I am assuming that is some kind of heat warming thing for the carb, do I need that?? should I block it off?? the coldest I ride this thing is like 45-50 degrees, cooler that that I use my car.

Yep my cluster looks exactly like yours. thanks for the help!!

Ok I have a Propel 250 Ventura with the speedo tach/clock combo and the left blinker lite no longer works, right one works and both blinkers on the scooter work just not the one in the instrument cluster. I am hoping it is just a bulb, but before I tear this thing all apart does anyone know if it has a bulb that I can replace I found the whole unit on Ebay for $58.00, and it appears that It is a sealed unit. thanks for any help!!

yep thanks that's what I did they are on the outside, I adjusted my other 2 scoots the same way they all have the same engine, personally I think these are great engines, but this one for now.. has me stumped.... Here's what I did: I pushed the adjuster back till I heard the ticking then I brought it back till the engine wanted to die then brought it back till the engine smoothed out and tightened the bolt down, do you need to adjust one before the other?? what am I doing wrong?? like I said maybe I have something else going on. thanks for the replys

Ok Guys so I worked on adjusting the valves for over an hour, not sure how long it is supposed to take but that's how long it took me and now this morning it wont start at all, and after cranking for a while and it didn't start I gave it some throttle and then I could smell gas so I know I am getting gas, now when you guys adjust the valves you are supposed to do it AFTER it is all warmed up right? guess I will go and look at the procedure again I must be doing something wrong, after adjusting them last night it ran really nice had nice pickup no backfireing, I don't get it, but I will I keep trying stuff till I get it running...

Well for one in the morning it is very hard to start have to grind away before it fires, after that it starts at the touch of the starter button, so I am thinking maybe I have a vacuum leak as the gas in the lines drain down at night so it takes awhile to get gas back up to the carb? and when I am traveling down the road say 45mph and coming up to a stop I back off the throttle and coast and at that point it feels like it wants to stall, like it has run out of gas, if I give it a little throttle it is fine so my guess is that when I let off of the throttle I lose vacuum and then I lose fuel, am I on the right track??, maybe this is normal for a fuel pump scoot as my other one never did this (no fuel pump),or maybe I need a vacuum canister to keep vacuum in the engine on deceleration, or like most things am I over thinking this?? thanks Ally for the reply..
