Sprocket, the filter I put on looks like the Visu filter. After I installed it, I allowed some fuel to run through and the flow seemed great. Thanks, I never knew there was a difference in fuel filters. This is going to be a real learning experience!

OK, what is a CDI and how can it be checked? Like I said, I am not a mechanic. Thanks

Like Shibz02 mine is a "new" 2008 Roketa MC-70-150. I only have about 125km on it. When it dies it sounds like the key is shut off, but if I am going downhill, sometimes it will restart. However it usually happens on the level or uphill and as soon as I maintain rpm's above 5000. I do not want to steal this thread. I have a thread going also. Thanks for any ideas.

I do not know the answer to your questions, but it sounds like I am having the same problem with the same scoot. I have not as many miles yet, but at higher speeds, it just quits. Let it sit a couple minutes and it will start right up and run fine again. Your experience is why I have been reluctant to tear it apart. Good luck, let us know how you make out. Thanks

I replaced the fuel filter even though the existing one looked ok. As to the suggestion of opening up the carb and changing the main jet, I am not a mechanic. How would I know what size is currently in it? How involved is this project? I guess I am going to have to learn some of this stuff! I really appreciate all the suggestions and help.

I will do that, but this is not erratic. It happens every time I hold the throttle fairly wide open for more than about 20-30 seconds. The rpm have to be above 5000 for this to happen. Slower it runs flawlessly.

I did the gas flow test, and it seems fine. I wonder what I should check next? Should I just continue the breakin and hope it fixes itself? I have about 120Km on it now. Thanks

That was my first thought. I took the cap off and removed the gasket. Then I left the cap loose with the same results. Then I disconnected the fuel line from the vacuum valve. The flow was great. Not sure how to check the operation of the valve. That's where I'm at. Thanks

I just got a MS-70-150 about a week ago. I have been following the break in suggestions.for the most part. Today, with about 150 km on it, I stepped it up to about 50 mph and after about 20-30 seconds it died. It coasted to a stop. I loosened the fuel cap, thinking it may be air locked. I let it sit for a minute or two and it started right up and got me home at lower speeds. Checked things to make sure nothing obviously wrong. Tried the same test one more time, same results. Am I hurrying the break in or does someone know what I should check? Thanks for any help.

I have a 2005 TNG verona 150 that starts, will idle, but as soon as you give it any throttle it dies. Not sure if the throttle enrichment is working. Would appreciate any ideas. Thanks

Thanks, mine is not as obvious as the one in the pic. I ended up having to pull a bolt that looks like the one to the left of your drain plug in the pic. Thanks, got er done!

Just got a new RK 150 Type70 scooter and have been advised to change the gear oil. I went to drain the existing oil and I do not see a low point drain plug. I then went to the poorly written owners manual, and it shows that you are to drain and fill at the same place! How can I do this? My old scooter has a drain plug and a fill hole-easy. Any help will be appreciated.
