Thanks kz1000st, I'll get some gas and clean it again, Alleyoop, I'd adjust that richer? After all this I should just turn a/f all ther in and back out 2 1/2 right?

Hi Alleyoop, scooter still not acting right, today it was bogging just starting out, (using my throttle) I t will just shut off like it ran out of gas, just changed gas filter, I may redo valve adjustment, would a dirty oiled filled filter do that? I soaked it in very hot soapy water and still feels dirty.

Had my first ride yesterday, ran good but my scoot shut off like it wasn't getting gas got it started, took her home, when I was doing the valve adjustment I was going to replace the fuel filter but didn't, so after my problem monday Last night I changed the fuel filter (it was bad looking ) It I had 5,000 mile on that filter (not good) I think it was clogged, I had a spare, put the new filter on and she fired right up (yahoo) Got up this morning went out and my scoot started up one crank

I have a mc-54-250b roketa scooter, one summer it would act like that, I go 5miles and shut off, go another 5 miles shut off (though my button work) it would only do this in warms temp, turn out to be a bad ignition coil.

Update: Today at work the scoot was on my mind trying to find the problem tonight as I was looking at my un-assembled scoot I notice that the carb wasn't setting level, fix that and in the process notice my ACV valve vacuum hose wasn't tight, fix that, also made the vacuum line longer from my y to the next y so it not so bent, then turn the key and she fired!!! Yahoo

the last valve adjustment probably 4,000 miles ago, at that time both seemed good, I've had this problem off and on since I've bought scoot, I'm going to change the fuel fillter tonght, last time I changed it was about a year ago. Could be crud in carb, never did clean it since I've bought it in 2010.
