    THE JOURNEY
    Early in 2004, an opportunity presented itself that would forever change the direction of my life and the culture of an entire community. I would sit at a bus stop day after day trying to catch an RTS bus to campus and this bus would pass me by with the words FULL BUS displayed across the top ultimately leading to the creation of New Scooters 4 Less in March of 2004. 13 years later (now as sole owner), New Scooters 4 Less (NS4L) is one of the largest scooter dealerships in the United States and continues to break it's own records and the sales records for some of the top scooter distributors in the country. NS4L has provided jobs to tons of amazing people, reached millions of dollars in revenue, sold thousands of scooters, and has serviced thousands more. Read More... www.collinausti...

      Internet says "You're Welcome" lol. P.S. This bypasses your starter motor, so you could still have a faulty starter. The starter motor connects to your starter solenoid which connects to your battery. So if it starts fine by kickstart, but won't electrically, it could still be one of those items. 👍

    Do you turn off the ignition completely or the kill switch first when you want to turn off the scooter??

    • @NewScooters4Less
      @NewScooters4Less  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It doesn't matter. Most people use the kill switch as an emergency turn off and just switch the scooter off by the key, but you can shut it off with the kill switch no problem. If you do, just make sure you turn your scooter (power) off by removing the key afterwards so you don't kill your battery and make sure you remember to put the kill switch on the circle before trying to start again. Hope that helps!

    That is along the lines of what's happening to my Taotao 50cc. It was bogging down and wouldn't go past 30mph until I adjusted the ideal screw. I tried kick starting it, as electric start wouldn't even make a sound. When I pressed the kick start, the gearbox or possibly something other made a horrible stalling sound and the speedometer light went dim. I hope it's something minor.

    • @NewScooters4Less

    Hi Guys. I have the kymco agility 5cc Scooter. It has started every time by the Electric start. But on Friday 22/9/2017 UK time. I just made a Wining Sound and nothing. This Is after 2 Months In the Shed no use. I Pumped the Throttle, Held In the Brake lever and Used the Kickstart to no avail. Everything You should not do. This was advise from forums and Video's on Here. Then I came across Yours this Morning, 24/9/2017 UK time. I took It to a Flat surface, Turned It on and (Following the way You did It) and on the Third Kick It started. Ran It up and around the Estate by Me. Go back and tried the Electric start and First Time Every time. Thank You so Much for this Just Amazing. I will be following Your Video's for any problems that may arise. May be awhile as this Is a Bomb Proof made scooter that has a BMW Engine that Is used In there cars. I would highly recommend one of these for a Beginner as there will be Little maintenance.

      @NewScooters4Less  10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Boo! Sorry to hear about the issue! When was the last time it actually ran? There are too many possibilities without having more info. Some include:
      1. If it was running just recently and now you have no sound, low electrical, etc. it could simply be a dead battery. You should be able to kick start the scooter, but if the battery is super weak it can be really difficult to get the scooter to turn over.
      2. You might not have spark at the spark plug. No spark = no start. You would probably want to have a tech take a look at it if this was the problem as you would need to trace the problem and it could be a coil, cdi, stator, spark plug, etc. problem.
      3. If your scooter has been sitting for a long time, it's probably bad fuel, clogged jets in the carburetor, and more. It would need to have the entire fuel system cleaned out.
      Hopefully some of this helps, but more details would probably help us solidify what the problem is more than likely. Thanks!

      Check to make sure the ignition is plugged into the wiring harness. I have seen them vibrate loose or become undone from people trying to steal the scooter. Also, sometimes the solder on the back of the ignition can wear and come undone. Any loose connections at the ignition itself would create this problem. Start there and let me know!

      I managed to start a Scooty Pep after almost 2 years. I think fresh fuel, starting spray and some stubborn kicks helped. Maybe new battery helped too, though I used the kickstart. They say the really volatile parts in gas are also easiest to ignite. So, when the gas goes stale, first those volatile parts evaporate and the remaining liquid becomes somewhat lazy : )
      You squirt the starting spray/starter fluid around the air intake. That should be somewhere near the air filter housing.
      May Mr. New Scooters for Less correct me if I'm wrong about these stuff.

    • @NewScooters4Less
      @NewScooters4Less  9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Garrett - Sounds like you have an issue going on in that crankcase cover (where the kickstart gear is). There are a series of bolts that you have to remove to take that crankcase cover off so you can see the transmission / belt, etc. Once you remove it, you will probably find one of a couple things... A broken spring / stripped gear that is not allowing the kickstart lever to pull back up automatically when you kick it down like it should OR gears that just came out of alignment and need to be adjusted and greased back up. Start by removing that crankcase and see if you can see any issues once you take it off. Let me know! (hope that helps!)

      New Scooters 4 Less - Well this is what im asking ive heard that you should really only kick start the scooter when its been sitting too long without use. How long is too long?

    • @NewScooters4Less
      @NewScooters4Less  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Don't let your scooter sit for more than a month. Fuel starts to go stale and the carburetor can become gunked up. These are carbureted machines (well, at least the one shown above it), so you really don't want them sitting around.

    • @ANTxMC

    • @NewScooters4Less
      @NewScooters4Less  5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Hey Divyani! Most side stands on scooters are kill switches themselves - we recommend setting your scooter up on the center stand when you try to kickstart it 👍

  • @SmokingCures
    @SmokingCures 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    So you don't pull the throttle at all when you start it? I was told to pull it slightly before starting to get some fuel pumping. I don't even know... Is that bull?

    • @NewScooters4Less
      @NewScooters4Less  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      So many people lean over the scooter and yank on the throttle over and over. This isn't helping. You can turn the throttle a couple times, but kick starting as shown is the proper way to do it. You do not have to keep pulling on there throttle while kick starting. :)

      New Scooters 4 Less Just a little update, was kickstarting for about half an hour today like shown with no luck. Didn't even sound close. Tried it *while* pulling the throttle, started second kick! It's a pretty old bike, Yamaha Cygnus X 2006. Although other tutorials show your way to also be right, seems my bike is just not going for it.

    Hi there I've got a issue with my Chinese scooter. Working fine till yesterday. No spark at all. New cdi new coil. Still no spark. Was raining yesterday when it broke down. Could that be a issue. Maybe rain got into tank.please help

    • @NewScooters4Less
      @NewScooters4Less  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mark! What's up man? Sorry to hear... Did you pull the spark plug to see if you have spark at the plug or are you assuming you have no spark? If the CDI and Coil are good and you still have no spark at the plug, then you have a stator problem more than likely (its like the 'alternator' for the scooter). Do you know how to check for spark at the spark plug? Let me know!

It makes no noise whatsoever. I tried to kick start it and nothing. No trying to turn over noise or anything. What could it be?

    • @NewScooters4Less
      @NewScooters4Less  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Alexandria Summers Was there has left sitting in your scooter during those 2 years? I would replace the carburetor fuel lines and fuel filter after draining out all the gas that was already in it. You need 93 octane fresh fuel and then put in a new battery and you should be good to go.

    • @NewScooters4Less
      @NewScooters4Less  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jon Spencer From my experience, remote start on Chinese Scooters is a terrible thing to have. Half the time they don’t seem to work right and if they do, there is typically an alarm system associated with it that jut drains the scooter’s battery. My best suggestion is to not use the electric start and remove it completely. It starts just fine without using the remote?

    • @NewScooters4Less
      @NewScooters4Less  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      You should be able to purchase new springs to keep your kickstand up. Sounds like you may be missing one or two or they are really worn out. You could always disconnect / bypass the kill switch in the kickstand, BUT if the kickstand keeps falling down, driving with it down would be VERY dangerous. That's the reason for the kill switch to begin with, so I would highly recommend fixing your side stand. Thanks!

      laylowfans Definitely check the spark plug boot and make sure it didn't pop off the spark plug.

Test for spark by following the process in the video: th-cam.com/video/aF9URBSB68o/w-d-xo.html and let me know! Thanks! Good luck!

    • @NewScooters4Less

      Try pulling the brake handle and pressing the yellow button and just hold it for a solid minute. See if that does it. Try not to give it any throttle.
      Have you topped it off with some fresh 93 octane fuel? This may help in this process. Otherwise, you are going to have to try and clean the carb out, but if it has only been sitting a month, this may do the trick.

    • @NewScooters4Less
      @NewScooters4Less  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey! Not necessarily. The only problem is that you risk stripping down your kickstart gears over time. If the gears get worn/stripped, eventually your kickstart may not work either. It would probably be best to get the e-start working just to prevent that from happening, but you're not technically 'hurting' the scooter or anything :)
