I feel like you’re the embodiment of every shop teacher any of us have ever had. We all know the type, that acted like we are all dumb, but taught us more about motors (and life) than the real world was ever going to, and lowkey loved us all like we were their own children. I really appreciate your genuineness, if that makes sense.
Thanks for the laughs. It is good for guys to visually see the results of 10% ethanol left in a small engine. Had it happen to me with a boat motor which is why I only use non-ethanol gas in my Ruckus. Where you were fortunate is the ethanol did not cause you to change the fuel filter. 1 small tip, there are no phillips head screws on the Ruckus. Rather there are JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) screws. Lots of guys strip out the Carb screws trying to use a phillips screwdriver. My Ruck is an old retired guys normal in town transportation unless I need to carry something heavy requiring the truck. Harley is for the highways which at my ahe is becoming less frequent. I own a 2022 now full stage 2 EVI instead of CDI plus performance carb, clutch & rear shock. My normal above curb weight is around 240 & the Ruckus rear shock bottoms out at 220 going over a crack in the sidewalk. That is with underseat bag with lock & cable plus a front barrel bag filled with small handtools & sunglasses. I also added a real rear carrier cabable of holding 110lbs. I cruise 44/46mph all day long which is 10mph faster than the Ruck cruised pure stock. Thanks again for the laughs.
Nice video brother. Good looking out for regular folks like us. Little tip on those pilot jets... Clip a single wire from a wire wheel and use it to clean out that stubborn junk. Get up in there dudes
Still loving the channel after a cpl yrs now brother. You been pushing out some killer content!! U should keep pushing out 2 videos a week man. Love the informational video on the scoot!! Your an awesome teacher bro! Keep up the awesome work. Get up in there dude 🤘👊👍💯
NW Pa where my cabin is there’s a station that still sells leaded 87 in a can. Pit Hole if you know anything about oil industry is next to my property.
My electric start just died after 5100 miles. Kickstart still works but no clicking or anything from the start button. Haven’t opened it yet hut Last time this happened on one of my chinese 150s it was just a loose battery wire lol
Ugh man I changed the oil, changed the lines, cleaned the carb, cleaned the jets, tried to use the manual kick starter, charged the battery, removed the gas, changed the fuel pump. Today I officially went off and got so mad because what in the work is going on 😡 tried the computer reset multiple times where you use a wire but I’m not sure if it’s actually reseting because people say the head lights are supposed to come on an go off but mine doesn’t do that when I reset it simple gives a noise as if it’s priming and that’s it. At suggestions?
Alcohol free gas saves you a lot of headaches , reeks havoc on theses little carbs I switched 3 yrs ago and I have yet to clean a carb on any of my mini motos that I own , the pump I get my gas from is a pump all by its self and it only has one hose
Love your channel brother man, you solved my problem on my scooter, thanks so much for your knowledge and time sharing this, I'm still waiting for any video about further advice I will ask you through your channel, love you.
I have a Honda Metropolitan scooter. Couple winter ago , I winterized it by turning off the fuel valve. Now I want to use my scooter again, but I forget where is the fuel valve location is on my scooter. Do you know where is it located? Thanks for your help.
Hi i have a question, my sw assy rr stop is broken. And when i tried to turn on my scooter it didnt start.. i now need to use my kickstart and my lights and horn dont work… do you know what to check or what to replace
What if it revs up but only touching the 2 bolts with metal will turn it over? And when it starts and runs its a little choppy for the first few minutes. Also, it only does this if it sits for at least a few hours. New spark plug didnt change anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Replace the fuel pump because the gas tank is in the floorboard and it has to pump it to the carburetor uphill Honda Ruckus are the worst for fuel pump issues
Reset the ecm and see if that helps if you have any problems. I am thinking this is the real issue with these. I think it controls the fuel pump. TH-cam has vids on how to do it!
I can kikstart...but cant use the starter..sum times it turns over wen starting with automatic starter/ but other times she dont start with automatic starter😕why? Brought her in few times they cant seem to fet this right...$$$$$later...piss me off
the fuel pump on the honda rokus always be the problem it need to be gravity the should not be there. I raised trhe tank up and it worked better, so I now it works better with it hihger without the pump.
So why did you kill the battery why don't you pull the spark plug and take it from there instead of killing the battery that's not very smart be smart about what you doing here man
Really shocked this audience isn’t bigger

The fuel pump is under the tank. That thing under the seat is part of the automatic choke.
That 3 speed Schwinn is rare. I have a yellow one they only made them for a year because boys were smashing 🥜 on the shifter.
You're the man! Sometimes you got to "get up into" a scoot. Thanks for the content brother.
Ole big boy don’t play with no damn electricity 18:54 🤣🤣

I really enjoy your channel...been trying to catch up on the older vids
Great job explaining everything thoroughly.
Best thing to do is get some sonoco non-ethanol I mean you go to pay the price but you get some good leaded fuel also it's for sale
My electric start just died after 5100 miles. Kickstart still works but no clicking or anything from the start button. Haven’t opened it yet hut Last time this happened on one of my chinese 150s it was just a loose battery wire lol
Kwiktrip is non-ethanol fuel. (Not sure if any near by)
This is a great video. Although, it's 6min into video before first test.
I like that color combo!
Nice video and nice garage too sir
I appreciate the content.
Where are you located
I NEED BLASTER PARTS IF I PAY UP FRONT WILL YOU SHIP TO ME

Add sta- bil stablizer in your gas it will be good 6to12 months later
I run premium fuel in my 2023 ruckus. I heard of low octane issues
Get up in there
And you might need to flash the ECM, I had to after I put new battery in.
I’m getting that click sound still after replacing the battery. What connections should I check or suggestions would you make?
I got a brand new 2024 rukus and I let it sit all winter. Now it won't start.
Hi i have a question, my sw assy rr stop is broken. And when i tried to turn on my scooter it didnt start.. i now need to use my kickstart and my lights and horn dont work… do you know what to check or what to replace
I think after cleaning my carb I will only use non ethanol marine gas for the ruck
I just put new piston, piston rings, and carb on my 2019 two tao and it acts like it wants too start but doesn't. What can I do to fix it
Great video dude
Appreciate it glad you like it.

Green piss gasoline.....the reason why I only use 91 octane non-ethanol rec fuel!
These take 87
Replace the fuel pump because the gas tank is in the floorboard and it has to pump it to the carburetor uphill Honda Ruckus are the worst for fuel pump issues

Do not stick that in a fuel injected vehicle you could take a match to it and won't light the shelf life is 6 months that's it
Mine is completely dead. It’s not the battery tho. It won’t do anything.
I can kikstart...but cant use the starter..sum times it turns over wen starting with automatic starter/ but other times she dont start with automatic starter😕why?
Brought her in few times they cant seem to fet this right...$$$$$later...piss me off
Have the brake pulled in?
If so it could be sensor. If not e start wont work. Could also be the button, solenoid, or connections between them and battery.
Noice!
Ya buddy!
Hey you're not going to show me I can tell you process elimination
3rd!
(9:07...) That's not the fuel pump....:)
the fuel pump on the honda rokus always be the problem it need to be gravity the should not be there. I raised trhe tank up and it worked better, so I now it works better with it hihger without the pump.
💯👍
A pandemic built scoot!!
So why did you kill the battery why don't you pull the spark plug and take it from there instead of killing the battery that's not very smart be smart about what you doing here man
First
30 bucks for a carb ,bro dont waste your time
Good luck with that?
TH-cam is full of ruckus problems? I would not own one, ever.
