Is it easy or not...

Hi
Your doing a fine job once you install the new carb do a plug chop as its a good way to determine o if your jet size is correct and your air/ fuel mixture is right or its too llean or rich

Take care and ride safely my friend

that helix fuel hose was hard to get into, just replaced & re-routed the fuel line, it took me 3 hours (don't laugh, ran into some trouble), tomorow will be installing carb (yikes)

You would think what should be simple to work on should be just that, simple. But no, the god of scooter repair always gets the last laugh.... Hahahahaha!

Bad News:: i knew i shouldnt have tried and be mr. mechanic, so i install the new carb today and the fuel line yesterday then when i try and start my scoot today, ITS NOT STARTING ???? i noticed that the gas has reached the fuel filter but very little and the fuel hose that connects with the carb has no gas in it at all, could this be a vacuum issue, im so frustrated rite now, it has a brand new carb i tried starting it about 5 times plus one of the times i tried it the battery seemed slow, so now i have a battery issue?

now the scooter started (yay) but the idle seems high (4000 rpms) and the wheel is spinning like crazy...

[Frank Castle]

Question:: where does the rpms have to be when its idle, my wheel starts spinning at 3000 rpms, the wheel STOPS spinning at 2700 rpms, should i leave it at 2700 or i heard that the normal rpms is at 2000 rpms for a scoot, which one is it?? i made a video

The carb SHOULD be set to 2 and 1/2 turns off of seat. So to make sure SEAT the mixture screw (turn all the way CLOCKWISE but DO NOT TIGHTEN!!!) then turn the screw out 2 and 1/2 turns. PLACE BIKE ON CENTER STAND AND THEN START BIKE. Then turn the screw 1/8 turn at a time COUNTERCLOCKWISE until you get HIGHEST RPMS, then turn the screw 1/4 turn CLOCKWISE and LEAVE IT. That should be proper AIR-FUEL RATIO.

Then adjust the IDLE SCREW (screw on throttle, text to throttle cable) until the RPMS are as HIGH AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT TURNING THE REAR WHEEL.

That's it, you should be good, have fun riding!

i did the 2 1/2 turns like you said before installing it but how do i get to the mixture screw now that its in the bike?

[blueboy5000]

Yeah the mixture screw can be a pain to get at. On my bike, I have to remove the side cover.

Your idle should be set around 1600-1800 rpms.

i found alittle hole where i can squeeze in my screwdriver, btw, which way do i go to enrich it, as far as the mixture screw, is it left or right?

[remedyman]

Usually tighter (clockwise) will lean out the mixture, but then I am not scooter expert. I, in fact, am reading all this to help learn what my son needs to do with the one he just bought yesterday.

*****Update**** issue was fixed with a new carb & setting up the mixture and speed screws CORRECTLY. I made 2 other threads based on this hard starting issue.
