How old is the battery? I would take the scooter to a auto parts store and have them do a load test on the battery. Your voltage seems low to me. Mine is 13.04 without starting it and 13.75 at idle.

Great going Richard. Lets get our scooters up to 20000 miles.

Richard, at least once a month I can take my screwdriver to the intake clamps and get another out of it. I really should replace that clamp like you did. Yes, vibration can loosen clamps.

I use my scooter most of the time. Only really use the car if it is raining or we are going on a trip, otherwise it's scooter time. Sure had my fun fixing things, but it has yet to shut down and not refire. It's up to 12,000 miles now and it starts right up every day. I'm sure something else will go, but keeping my fingers crossed in the mean time. Good for you Nulldevice. Keep on scooting.

The picture you just posted looks fine to me. Sure looks like it getting the right amount of air and gas.

Too lean is right. although picture isn't too clear. Looks like the tip is white as well. Go back the 1/2 turn and run it for 20 miles then check it again.

I should have said before replacing the coil if there is no spark. Check the two wires which connect to the coil from the CDI. One just may have come off and there sure would be no spark.
Alley, wouldn't he have some warning signs before it just flat out and died if the valves were off such as stalling and poor starting?

If there is no spark then start thinking of replacing the coil.

Take your fuse out and go to any auto parts store and they will find the right one for you.

No one mentioned the stator at all. Since he can only start it after the battery has been charged it could be his stator isn't charging the battery. I would test the volts on the battery when the engine is running and see what it measures before removing the entire rear plastic panels and trunk.

lceel, I would check again with the engine you have on your scooter as it is not the same engine that is installed on the 54b. I believe you may have the Honda clone engine. Jct is right about the headlights. They are on the left and starter button and kill switch is always on the right side.

The plastic tank is your overflow tank and it's right next to the gas cap. That hose runs to the radiator cap. When your engine is hot it will push fluid to that plastic tank via the hose and when it cools down it can draw fluid back to the cooling system. The wire you are talking about also feeds the fan on 54B which you say you have. On my scooter the wire is white and runs under the belly, splits to the fan then continues on the R/R.

lceel Your overflow tank is under the gas cover lid which needs your key to open. I can't even think of a thick hose which would be next to your front wheel. You should take a picture of it and post it here. Behind the front wheel is the radiator and there are no hoses which go towards the front wheel.

Your system just may have air in it, which will cause it to run hot and not allow the fan to come on. Flush and air evac. |
