Hey Everyone!

Well here is why I questioned why I may have to much oil in my scooter. When I would check the oil before I tried to change it today, the oil would drip from the dipstick, so I though that maybe it was to much in the scooter. I let all the oil drain out over night. Today when I went to fill it the oil is backing back out and won't go into the scooter at all! Wow! I really thought that I was smart enough to put oil into a hole, LOL!! What the heck!! I am wondering what is what now!!??

I tried with a funnel, without a funnel, pouring it into the oil hole very slow, nothing worked.

I am thinking whatever this is could be the whole not starting issue?

Help!!

Oh, please forgive me if I just forgot to do something very simple.

Hi All,

Well, I think I better double check for the spark tomorrow. Thanks for the video!

When I first got the scooter I had someone help me with the PDI and I am hoping he did not add to much oil. I will check it again tomorrow.

Again, thanks for all the help. I wish I could bring it up to my living room and work on it, lol!! It's cold out there!

Hello Everyone!

Wow, can't believe it snowed here today. Well, I guess I should be use to Wisconsin weather by now, LOL!!

Anyhooooo, I did manage to get the spark plug and tried to get it installed Saturday, but as luck would have it, I dropped the darn thing into the scooter and could not get it out. Geeesssshhhh!!!

I will go at it again tomorrow.

Take Care!

Hello Again,

Well, both me and my helper re-checked and cleaned the carb again but the scoot still will not start. I charged the battery, check the spark plug, (spark plug a little dirty but looked ok) put a different battery in just to see if it would start, no luck.

As before it still cranks really strong but will not attempt to start. All the hoses look great. This is a 2010 model. Not sure what to do next. This scooter really never held a charge, any other suggestions?

Also just heard some great news! Here in Wisconsin, we can now use a scooter in the basic riding class and still get a motorcycle endorsement. It is new, so if anyone from Wisconsin has any information, I'd love to hear from you. I called Ride-Alive here in Milwaukee and was told the happy news. I myself never had must interest in learning to ride a motorcycle so I am very excited. Ride-Alive does not have any scooters in their fleet yet so if you want to take the class, you'll have to bring your own scooter, at least for now.

Again, thanks for all the help everyone!

Wow! For some reason I got it in my head that the air/fuel ratio screw and the idle mixture adjust screw were to different screws! Duh me!!!

I was hoping to work on it again last night, but I did not get to it. Before the carb cleaning it would start. After awhile, it would still start run a bit, then cut off if I tried to idle it, then it got worst and would only run a minute or two then turn off.

Right before I cleaned the carb, it would just crank and not start.
Now, it is doing the exact same thing now (after the carb cleaning), cranking but not starting.

This scooter has only about 5 miles on it. I did a PDI on it and I only rode it a few miles before parking it for the winter with a bit of gas in it. I always had trouble with this scooter keeping a charge. I did a bit of reading last night and I now know how to check the spark plug for a charge. Everyone tells me that this model is a great little scooter. I am hoping to get it going.

I sincerely appreciate all you guys help. Thanks so much.

Hello All,

Well my assistant and I got the scooter back together after the card cleaning. I am positive everything was put together right but it still will not start. It is turning over but seems like it is still not getting gas. Now What? Any suggestions?

Bummer!!
Thanks
