Tank 200 EFI overheating
Hello Chinascooter Scuderia.
I purchased the Tank 200 EFI fully assembled from 360 Powersport in Dallas TX. I was happy with the assembly. Nothing is loose, nothing rattles. I have now driven 450 miles. The scooter is now a little freer. I can now do 52mph on the flat and 49mph uphill (before 45-49). I hope that this will get a little better, my old 150cc Icebear can do that too. However, the 200EFI is better when it comes to fuel consumption. I managed 82 mpg urban. Still got 64mpg hard driving outside on the backroads. Today after about 40 miles of backroads I parked the scooter and had to... and have to drink something. When I tried to start the scooter, it wouldn't start. The starter turned the motor, but it won't start. Probably overheated. After waiting 15 minutes it worked again. |

Did the check engine light turn on? When my Clash was new (same engine) the check engine light came on a couple times during long rides on hot days. Always started though. I put a 20 ohm 1 watt resistor in series with the cylinder head temperature sensor and it never happened again, now at ~6000 miles.

Was your fuel low at the time? Was it hot outside? EFI pumps are in the fuel tank and the fuel helps keep the pump cool. It might be what happened. It should have thrown a code as Mudflap mentioned. That is, if your scooter has that function.
