I love my 150cc Puma Roadstar! Recently took an early retirement to concentrate on charitable volunteering for my ministry & this scoot has really been a blessing! From VA & other hospital, shut-in & even DOC visitations to personal trips like shopping, camping, visiting my many kids & grands & just plain riding around, this scoot provides everything I need in transportation except shelter during a rain storm!
I have run into a problem, though: my scoot ran like a dream...no funny noises, great pick-up, perfect balance with heavy loads...until one day it wouldn't start. Hubby took it to a "friend of a friend" who replaced the starter & such, but once I had it back from the shop it started fine but ran awful. It vibrates at idle something awful, there are pinging rattles the minute I take off (don't end til I shut off) and, whereas it ran comfortably at 40-50mph before it "got fixed", it's now struggling to attain even 25-30. I KNEW I should've insisted on taking it to the dealer.
I want to do my part first, before I take it on to the dealer for repairs myself (dreading those labour costs!), such as changing the oil (ta daaa! all by myself!) & want to do the gear oil as well but can't figure out where the 2 bolts are located...not the same as hubby's TaoTao 50cc.
Can you direct me on that?
