I found these 2 scooters on Craigslist for $75.00 each. They were listed as running when parked last year but won't start this year.

These scooters are both the same 2011 of models, the red one shows a little over 1600 miles on the clock *they register miles not kilometers). the blues on has 266 miles on the clock. The red on had a working battery charger under the seat.

The first thing I did was adjust the valves on both of them before I attempted to start them. The red one's gas smelled ok so I put a battery in from my daughter's tao tao quad and after a little effort the red one started up . I changed the engine and gear oil and have put about 50 miles on it so far. This thing is fun, Like Louis once said, I think I'm becoming a "scooter nerd".

The blue one I can get running if I put gas in the spark plug hole (after the spark plug) or spay starting fluid in the intake. But I can't get in to stay running with the carb. I took advantage of my wife being and work and cleaned the carb out on the table, II replace the carb and i started and ran for a minute and gas start flowing out of the side of the carb. I tried to to disassemble the top end of the carb but rounded the screws off so I'm just orderd a new one.

Besides the carb, I need to buy 2 batteries and a set of mirrors for each scooter.
|
That's a hell of a deal. You just need the consumables. That carb looks like someone left ethanol gas in it for a while anyway.
|
Why are these kind of deals no where near me :hehe:
Slap the working carb on the 'non working' scooter and take it for a spin too, it's being left out of all the fun :p plus it will give you a nice idea of what else (if anything) you might need for it :D |
