Hey guys, I got one in today that looks like the last year's "VIP" scooters. The ones with the scoops on either side of it. PICS COMING SOON, Maybe short video.
There is about and inch of play in the handle bars, in relation to where the front wheel is, Left to Right, not up and down. I think this is the culprit. BUT the front wheel (130/60 13inch) LOOKS like it could be OUT of Round.(EGG-SHAPED).
What do you guys think? THANKS!

I've heard this SO FAR:
Reed Valve - Fuel Valve(Diaphragm on bottom of tank) - Carb Float
Is there any reason I should check the Reed? If you do not think it will help I will leave it alone, as I have NEVER Cleaned/Repaired/Messed With(lol) one.
I would like to find a decent replacement Carb, that is comparative to the stock as much as possible, but with a 30-40 dollar price tag!

Cyborg, that sounds about right, I do remember a SMALL hole in the carb float though POSSIBLY. I think I may just replace the whole thing, for the right price. If they they make a rebuild kit, with a replacement float would be nice too.

OK guys, since it seems as though SOME of you are confused on what this scooter is doing.
DESCRIPTION OF WHAT IS HAPPENING:
AT FIRST, the scooter would not crank. BAD BATTERY(CHECKED), GOT NEW ONE, THE SCOOTER WILL CRANK.
AT "WIDE OPEN THROTTLE", the scooter will start after about 2 mins of trying, it BARELY starts(HOLDING THE THROTTLE OPEN STILL), and TAKES off(HIGH RPM),
THEN, if you PUMP THE THROTTLE, it unleashes about a CUP, of fuel, OUT OF THE EXHAUST(IT BLASTS it out). SO there is NO MORE ISSUE with the STARTER.

I am SURE it has REEDS, Guys, I am 4 stroke ALL the WAY, I know very LITTLE about 2 strokes, but Im not driping a little gas out of the exhaust it is Gushing it out, and it will only start with WOT...
As for Pre-Mix, this scooter mixes it on it's own

Thanks Kaveman, I think it is the Intake Valve not seating, SPOT ON! That sounds like what is happening, the only time I can get it to START is WOT, and when I do it REV's High obviously haha
I did take the carb off and cleaned it, no change, could it be a bad Fuel Valve? I know the Fuel flows VERY FREELY???

Thanks A lot Rich, I am NOT a 2 Stroke guy. YET!  Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated. I'm going to try and find a service manual, or other 2 strokes spewing gas out of the exhaust. It blows my mind that the engine can run, and STILL spew gas out of the exhaust like that. I have no Idea how a SPARK is even possible in that! haha |

Rich, I DO HAVE spark, I took the carb off,(With the throttle cable down the middle:BY WEBBER) Cleaned it, strapped it back in, and now, it will start with WOT, BUT it starts POURING gas out of the Exhaust. I mean a MASSIVE amount of gas... Any idea what this could be from Rich? P.S. I can take some pics if it will help you

Hey guys, got another one!
This guy brought this scooter to me and told me that it needed a new battery. Tested the battery with a load, and sure enough, bad battery. Bought a new 4LBS battery, charged it for about 4 hours, plugged it into the scooter, and still won't start.
I called the guy back and now he says that it WOULD kick start, about A YEAR AGO! He also says that it was wrecked right before the electric starter quit working... I had noticed the scuffs and scrapes on the bike's plastics, and the front wheel is UN-aligned.
So now, WHO knows whats wrong! hahaha
1st thing I am going to do is drain the gas, and oil, replace with new. Check for fuel delivery and spark, Ground Connections, etc.
THANKS in ADVANCE for any input GUYS!
