Ok, good to know! I am guessing then that it would be a good idea to just get an o ring, washer and spring first so that way i am ready when i remove the sealed cap. If i remove the cap and i am missing these things it won't run properly so that would not be good.

thanks alleyoop! you have been a big help! just one more question. if it doesn't have that spring or washer or o ring, will the it still work? i mean will i still be able to adjust the air/fuel ratio and run my scooter without those little things?

will i need to acquire these things separately and put them in myself, or are those things already there? cause i don't want to fully remove the screw if i don't have to, i just want to adjust it is all.

Well do you think it is worth while to drill it out because the cold weather is just around the corner and it might be useful to be able to adjust it. I am just worried about damaging it is all.

Thanks, i appreciate it! Now in general is it important to be able to change the fuel/air ratio, cause i am not sure i trust myself doing that.

Hey guys, i just have a silver cap where my fuel/air ratio screw should be on my carb. Is this normal? I want to adjust my fuel air ratio because i am only getting 36mpg on my scooter right now to see if that helps with the terrible mileage. I can't adjust the fuel air ratio if there is no screw.

MPG

Post by curiousgeorge on Sept 16, 2012 18:01:55 GMT -6
Now it is getting around 36 MPG  . I never see any fuel dripping so idk what is wrong :0. this low fuel economy on my scooter is really frustrating me, especially since it should be getting more than double that and now it is getting expensive. It runs great just sucks up gas now. Could it be that i put in a new fuel filter? It is bigger than the stock fuel filter but is meant for small engines like lawn mowers, and snow mobiles, but because it is bigger than the stock one, i don't know if that could be it. or could it be because i constantly ride the scooter at wide open throttle? 36 MPG just seems really really absurdly low to me. |

Alleyoop i ride it very aggressively. Usually wide open throttle quite often, could that be the cause? Cause i know i am not leaking any fuel, and wouldn't my revs sound weird, or just not r
Un smooth if it was running really rich?

hey guys, do you know of a good universal gps mount for a scooter that will be sturdy? and also do you guys think that if i have a gps mount on my scooter it will make thieves more likely to try to break into it?

Nope I checked everything, and the kill switch in the correct position.
And the battery is fine, the break lights work fine.
