So here is a shot list of things to do in order for this little bike to be back in running order This is not optional stuff as the scooter has been sitting for a long time and there is just no way the carb will run properly no matter what bike your working on. If you want a smooth running bike that you can depend on just break yourself down and buy a proper carb kit and do it right.
  • Get new battery on order
  • Get a carb kit on order
  • Check spark plug
  • Replace battery connectors
  • Remove carb for a cleaning
  • Completely drain fuel tank
  • Check for fuel filter to clean (not stock item)
  • Pump tires and check for leaks
Here is your big enemy... dirty carb monster.


So once you have your gasket kit in hand just sit right down on your stool with some coffee and start scraping sediment out of the carb.
