EARTHMAN I live in SC and I sure don't pay insurance that high at all. I own a 250 CC have a motorcycle license which is required about $20.00 that goes to 2019. Paid $15.00 for property tax and my insurance is a $104.00 a year.
You are right in SC 50 cc scooters are DUI scooters. All the 50 CC owners can get made at me, but I can sure see why some motorists are fed up with following a moped doing 35 in a 55 mph speed limit road.
You will have to explain all of those fees.

You really tore it down to the bare bones. I wish I knew the right belt for you, but I'm not sure which gates is right. How many miles on your scoot? I see some rust settled in. Mine sits in the garage and gets the hell waxed out of it. The variator comes filled with thick black grease. Clean it all out and maybe switch to sliders.

I don't think its a fuel issue at all. You went over a 120 miles the same day plus new fuel lines and filter. Vacuum line possible, but how about a coil issue? A loose coil connector at coil or at cdi. Or a overheated coil.

Retired Railroad Chief Train Dispatcher Metro-North Commuter Railroad New York City. I thought dispatching 60 trains during the rush hour was bad. It is nothing compared to a Chinese scooter. Anyone watch the taking of Pelham 123?

Absolutely Scooter is Absolutely perfect. I can vouch for Dave and his service. So far I have purchased two sets of sliders, CDI, and a coil. The great part is that you can see what is in stock or not in stock and the prices are great. $39.99 for a cdi on a 250 cc scooter is unheard of. Shipping is fast as I get most items within 3 days. Dave will go out of his way to answer any questions you might have about a product.

Reply #4 You bring up a subject I was wondering about. Do our scoots really need those extra vacuum lines going to the fuel vapor system? They go into it, but there is no hose going back to the engine or carb that I can find. Without them on, one vacuum line to the carb and the other to the fuel pump correct?

MTHOMAS, I have the idle set so it's as high as it can go without spinning the rear wheel just under 2000 rpms when engine is warm.

Reply 32, You missed some of the posts. The scooter will start dead cold every time and run until the enricher cuts off then it will stall and won't start without giving it throttle. At times it has sat several hours and will not start without giving it gas. If it sits overnight it will start on the first try.
New coil arrived last night and I installed it. The engine was already warm from a ride. Tried to start it up and again no change. This morning after sitting all night it started right up again and then stalled. I actually timed it this time. 1 minute 17 seconds then stalls out.

I have had them since october and like you the rest of my lights are LEDs. You won't have a battery issue just more light at night.

Alley when warm it idles at just under 2000 rpms. You think making it leaner will help? Right now the screw is exactly out 2 1/2 turns. When carb was off I turned the screw all the way in and then backed it out to 2 1/2. I have to admit no hesitation taking off at a light. It was doing that.

OK Alley, I removed the carb once again and took out both the main and pilot jet. Took my can of Gumout Carb cleaner and blasted the away with the straw. The carb cleaner came out exactly in your photo. So I gave it a few more blasts just to make sure. I wasn't cheap on the carb cleaner.
Now put it all back together again and went through the pumping gas back into the carb process and it fired off then stalled. Figured carb cleaner as the reason. Started it again and it ran nice and smooth. I took it out for a ride and ran the snot out of it. WOT up to 60 and all was smooth. What usually happens is after it gets hot and I come to traffic or stop sign when I take off it hesitates. Well no hesitation at all. It jumped when I gave it some gas. Now I'm singing Happy Days are here Again all the way home a good 20 mile trip. I pull in the garage at 3PM and at 3:30 I go out to start it. No go on starting unless I give it gas again. I was positive the problem was finally solved, but it is back.
Any other thoughts?? I just hate going somewhere and coming out and having to fool around for a few minutes to get this scooter running like it should.

You are spot on with that Alley. Exactly the way it happens. Once running again, it has slight hesitation when taking off, but give it the gas and it will go from 20-60 easily. Shut it off, let it sit 10 minutes and it wont start without giving it gas. If it does start and I let off on the gas it will stall. I have to keep playing with the throttle to keep it going and then like magic it is running fine again.

Alley, you just put a bullet in my head. No I did not spray cleaner into the pilot jet hole. Crap, I sprayed inside the intake from both sides, and all around the jets. This carb is not an easy out and back in. It is hard to remove and hard to get back into place, plus all the hoses I need to take off. I hope you are right or I will kill myself.
