clogged carb?

[dwint51]

I have a 2t with only 469 miles on it.i put sta-bil in it before the winter and started it the other day no problem.it smoked like crazy but ran fine.i go to start it yesterday and nothing.i took the gas line off at the filter and it was clogged so I blew it out and when cranking the gas is coming out good.when I connected it still nothing.i took the plug out and put carb cleaner in the head and it started for a few seconds.my guess is clogged jets but would like some advice please

Do you pre-mix or does your scooter auto mix your oil? Either way take off the carburetor and blow out the main and pilot jet with compressed air or carburetor cleaner and try again, once installed you will have to crank it a few times to fill the carb, try keeping the air filter off and manually choke the carb with your hand while starting

Sta-bil has never worked for me. Got a clogged carb because of it, probably same as you. Use Seafoam next time instead.

I agree, with seafoam.

now its not even coming out of the filter,took carb off and cleaned it the bowl was empty

[mmsscooters]

If the bowl is empty it might be your petcock or a vacuum leak

[dwint51]

is there a way to bypass it or should I get a new one,can I check it by sucking on the line?which line is it out of the three?

Could it be a bad fuel pump ??.

Dee had a fuel pump go bad with only 11mi's on her brand new scoot.
