Today is not my day...more issues
Hi
as you guys know, i changed my carb for a new one and also changed my fuel line. my hard start issue stopped so the hard start was cause of the carb. i was having idle issues but i managed to fix it. so after 2 days of enjoying my scooter with the new upgrades, all of a sudden my scooter does not want to stay on, when i let go of the throttle it stops? and not only that sometimes when i start my scoot there is a really loud metal on metal grinding noise for like a second, i think its the starter, i think i want to shoot myself now, 2 problems back to back by the way, * i checked all the hoses for holes * checked to see if the plug was plugged * cant be my fuel pump cause i can see it working with my transparent fuel line, * its not the fuel filter, carb or fuel line (all new) * played with the mixture and idle but nothing happened Last edited by Frank Castle; 04-23-2014 at 09:02 PM. |

When you let go of the throttle and it dies it sounds like a vacuum issue maybe with the petcock. Cause that little guy controls the fuel.
Also a question to help me with your 2nd problem You said that you changed the Carb. Did you have this grinding noise before you replaced the Carb? |

I mean the vacuum side cause when you throttle you create a difference in pressure. Make sure you have good vacuum cause that can cause problems like you are experiencing.
As for the Grinding noise problem. You said it got worse after you changed the carb out. I would start looking there. Since it happens more often since the swap. That would be the best place to start looking |

You said it happened more once you replaced the carb. it could be a bum carb or something that you must of did hey we are all human. I made mistakes when I worked with mercedes. One time I was doing an oil change I forgot to put the drain plug back in and we will just say 8 quarts of oil ended up on the floor and I was made the butt of some jokes for a while lol. When you get the report back please share with us all

Have you checked the valve clearances? Odd running is often caused by that.

Try spraying some starting fluid into the air intake. I would also clean (if washable foam) or replace the air filter.

The clanking noise sounds like your starter gear disengaging and re-engaging. Try charging the battery and see if that helps. The dying is hard. I would try spraying starter fluid in the carburetor intake and see if that keeps it running. If it does you have crap in the carb.
