Ok guys, been fiddling with the idle screw today. I thought I had it all set and things were good to go. I put it on the kick stand and adjusted it until the rear wheel barely moved at idle (which seems like a hard task, it always wants to move or not move but not barely move) Took it out for a spin and trouble again. It's rumbling occasionally when I turn it on, like it is either coughing for fuel or air and then stalls out. The shop I bought it from is a good 10 miles down the road and I am having difficulty finding a way to get it back there without riding it (ex Truck) but I just want to be able to ride the darn thing. Is the idle screw that finicky? Is it supposed to be super temperamental and hard to find just the right spot?

Thanks everyone, the sun just went down and I don't have a garage..so I'm going to get out there in the morning and give it a try again. I'll let you know how it goes. If by chance it's not the Idle Speed Adjustment are there any tips to tweeking the A/F screw?

I've attached a photo of the screw I was told to adjust slowly while listening to the idle speed. This is what the place told me to do over the phone that I bought it from. Does any of this make sense? Sorry if I am a bit novice at this. Attachments:

Hello! I am brand new to scooters so please be kind! 3 days ago I purchased a brand new 2012 (only 1 mile on it) Bash Peace Retro scooter. I know, already probably a chinese piece of crap. Well I drove it home, it was running great. Took it out to get fuel (premium) filled it up drove it home and the problems began. After cruising at high speeds and throttling down to lower speeds it stalls, and engine completely dies. If I am going quick..30mph or so and stop at a stop sign it stalls when switching to lower speeds again. I have popped the seat off and began slowly adjusting the carb fuel adjustment screw a half a turn at a time to adjust the idle speed. This is what I was told to do after calling the scooter shop. I've only put about 25 miles on the thing. Why is a brand new scooter stalling? The store I purchased it from said they did all the tune ups prior to handing it over to me. I would like to take it back to the store however I don't think it's going to get there without stalling. Any ideas? Attachments:
