et too brute
 
I too had a failure to start, after it stranded me on the side of the road miles from home. I spent an entire day trying to get the issue resolved and nuthin I tried worked. I correctly diagnosed that there was an issue with the stator. But I took it to the dealer to have that sorted out. Just got the scooter in February and the engine has a 1 year warranty but some how they want even more than $200 to fix it. I will have them fully explain themselves before I give in.

Hi
Does your 1 year warrenty cover the electrical system as well? if so then they should honor it and fix at no cost to you if its only the engine then its on you as ther stator is eletrical systerm related not engine related
Here a copy oif what one of my scoots warrentys cover
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY COVERS THE FOLLOWING PARTS ONLY:

Additionally, the engine head and cylinder will only be covered if damage is caused as a result of the mechanical failure of one or more internal lubricated components listed above.

DRIVE SYSTEM
All internal lubricated parts contained within the drive axle housing case, i.e. differential, differential gears, drive shaft, drive axles, axle bearings, reverse gears and output shafts. The drive axle housing as well as the reverse gearbox housing, if damaged solely as a result of the mechanical failure of one or more or the internal lubricated components contained the drive axle housing will be covered.

He said the fuel line that i replaced had too much slack and the fuel pump wont have enough power to fuel the carb. And the second part was that the mixture and the idle speed screws were off. Now the reason i had some slack was because i wanted to put my fuel line in a downward angle plus i wanted it out of the way so i can put my bucket storage thingy. I did have some trouble adjusting the idle mixture and speed screws. The mechanic made my fuel line how it was stock, which is more of a straight line so i guess making your fuel line in a downward angle for better fuel flow is a myth...well there you have it, the scoot is running fine now, Ohh and dont forget i wasted money on a Uhaul pick up to bring the scoot to the shop...smh


Lesson Learned: never re-route hoses or fuel lines :no:

Good to hear your scooter was fixed and for having a motorcycle shop that would actually service a chinese scooter.
