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.collinaustin.com/bio/

Singlehandedly solved my scooter's starting problem, and about 12 other people's throttle problems. THANK YOU!
Love to hear it!
Worked like a charm ty.... I have to say owning a moped has taught me allot about mechanics and i cant wait to get my hands on something more deep! 😃
You're welcome! Scoot safely!
Same.. The two I have owned n currently own have had me be more in tune then MOST men
You guys are so kind to have made a video based off of someone's question on another video.. and I learned something new! So cool bc my son's scooter has a very low idle. THANK YOU!!
So glad we could help! Thanks for the note! 💚
Hey man just bumped into this I appreciate it so much I had to keep my hand on the throttle for a good minute getting home and doing this helped my scooter stay on well appreciated boss💪🏽🤞🏽
Awesome. Glad it helped!
All very new to the bike world and after spending over £500 and still having the same problems this video has solved the problem .. no idea why the garage didn't pick this up but I've one happy son now .. thank you 👍
Glad we could help!
If this works you are literally saving me. I have been to four mechanics already for this problem and they all say that there isn't anything wrong and that the problem is with how I'm stopping.... I will try this tonight!! Thank you!
If it's not this, then it may be a vacuum leak somewhere. May want to have the mechanics check for that.
Not me nodding when you asked "you hear that?" 😂
Also thank youuuuu totally what I needed! I feel so handy now lol
Hahaha! Let's gooooooo!!!!
Actually worked, I was so worried! Thanks guys you are all awesome.
Excellent! :)
Just want to say thank you because this video taught me how to adjust the idle of my Typhoon 125.
Love it. Our pleasure. Scoot safely!
You guys are great I just buy a new scooter 2 week ago then start turn off but I learned today from you and am not going see mechanic but I will do it myself. Thanks for the video
Glad we were able to help!
Thank you so much for this. Really appreciate it.
Our pleasure! :)
Huge headache saver! Worked like a charm! Thank you!
Awesome! Glad to hear it!
Yes sir. It's a 150. I couldn't reach the screw,nor could I see if it was a torx, Phillips, or hex. So I took it to the local motorcycle shop in visalia ca. The guy said it was a 2.5mm hex. So he gave it a turn or two. Brought up the idle and away I went. (He didn't even charge me)
I rode around town like i had been doing before. And after over an hour or so of riding in city traffic, making u turns and stopping at intersections.. The bike give me no more problems. 🤙🏾
Awesome! Well, I'm glad to hear that! Safe riding!
This is the exact problem I am looking to solve. THANK YOU!
Hope it helps!
Did it work?
Omg! This worked instantly.. thank you so much for this video. 💪🏾💪🏾
Awesome! Glad it helped!
You saved my life just got a 2020 beast grom bike just yesterday and it started dying out on me ...mind you I. Don't know anything about bikes so I started to freak out 😂😂😂 but I came across your video and Wallaa just like that it stayed on
Happy to hear it!
Straight forward and to the point thank you!!!!
Glad you found it helpful!
Solved my problem immediately. You're a legend!
Glad we could help!
thank you man! my scoot scoot just started knocking off at stops today. So i tried doing this and BAM! good as new! thanks again.
Awesome! Glad it helped!
thank you, simple but informative.
Our pleasure!
This is why I love TH-cam!! Thank you
Glad we could help! :)
I have got the same scooter and same issue. I appreciate for the video. This information will save people's life. Thank you.
Bharath Ram Fitness awesome to hear it helped! Thanks for the note!
Same here.
Simple fix to my great worries about my new scoot 😂thanks
Glad we were able to relieve a little worry for you! :)
Thank you, this fixed my problem! Interestingly enough, Honda Metropolitans have a tiny hole in the maintenance lid specifically for access to that screw!
Yep! :)
That's really helpful to know! I've been having this problem with my metropolitan and I'm at a loss for what to do!
@@TessaLusis Hopefully this helps!
Thanx mate.that really helped.
Thank you
Excellent! Glad it helped!
Thank you so much my G, I truly appreciate you
My pleasure my friend!
when the wheel spins on idle tho its not enough to move you but it does mean that the clutch is in contact with the bell and that means wear. what i do is I run the engine cold, and when the enricher stops, it drops in a very low rpm, that's when i adjust it low enough that it doesn't stall after the enricher turns off.
Thanks for the tip!
From what I've understood is that, when the rear wheel starts moving, it's not idling thru the pilot jet, the main jet kicks in.
Thanks a lot!! It was very helpful, my Vespa 125, kept on dying at a stop sign!!!!
Glad we could help Mick!
thanks my idle was too fast on my Piaggio BV250 this video helped
AWESOME!
Bro thank you very much ...... For free education on scooter i had same problem but now its fixed thank you
Awesome! Glad I could help!
I needed this thanks
Our pleasure! Thanks!
Thank you this helped. The screw seems lose though like when i turn it to the right, it wants to slowly move back to where it was
It definitely shouldn't do that. I would need to see what is going on to have a full understanding... Sorry I can't be more help.
Thank you great help
You're welcome!
Thank you! My vespa is running nicely now.
Love to hear it!
wow good info fir newbie like me🤗
Glad you got value out of it :)
Solved my stalling at lights simple video thanks
Awesome! So great to hear! Thank you for commenting and letting us know!
I like this guy as a person
Thank you!
Worked thx
Awesome! Great to hear!
thnks for the explanation
Our Pleasure!
Check the air filter also to make sure it's getting enough airflow? Then re-adjust the idle?
Sometimes you can have an air leak, vacuum leak, etc. Definitely make sure your airflow is good too. Then, yes. If all is good. Tune the idle.
Hi man. This happened to me after i moded the petcock from vacuum to manual shut off valve. It runs a few meteres om throttle then on deceleration it stops like gas gor cut off. Does the mod affect idle or air fuel mix?
If the vacuum line isn't there now, how is the system pulling fuel from your gas tank to the carburetor? I would bet YES... your modification affected it and I would change it back. Sorry!
Top man 👍🏽✅cheers
Cheers!
So today I’m going to buy myself a gilera runner 180 vx witch is the 4stroke version the bike starts up fine and rides nice but once I come to a stop it dies out but will start back up and go again also the bike seems to back fire and crackle and pop I was thinking if not the idle maybe I should try clean or change spark plug and old oil?
Probably fuel and air mixture is off. I don't know anything about that bike, but I would look at spark plug, carb, air filter, vacuum lines and make sure everything is good there.
Do you have a video to help with a 50cc moped front wheel/ steering shaking when reaching 30-35 mph?
Hey! We do not, but is it shaking uncontrollably or just a little bit. Usually this is due to a bent steering column. Did you run into a curb somewhere? Does it turn side to side ok or is it sticky or tough to turn the steering column?
I have a brand new scooter and it dies as well at an idle or coming to a stop. We have adjusted the throtal and that doesn't help it. We have had nothing but issues from the get go. The automatic electric choke was burning out, magneto was not gapped properly, the company we purchased it from sent us a new carborator and everything. Do you have any idea what we should check before my boyfriend throws it in a ditch somewhere?
What kind of scooter is it?
@@NewScooters4Less it's a VIP future champion. We finally figured it out though the valves needed to be adjusted. Now it works great. Funny but he actually got pulled over for going 45 on it when top speed with out a motorcycle license is 30😂
@@jessicayoung6822 Yep! That can definitely create a problem! So glad to hear you got it figured out! (Slow down! Lol!)
Thks four your video I have a Peugeot V-Clic 50cc 4T from 2012 is same carburetor when I start up the idle is keep up and down up again and down is any reason ??? Thank you very much Jersey uk ❤
Hard to say. Check your vacuum lines and air filter to ensure there are no cracks in the lines, etc.
I have the same scooter too!
Must be nice that this solved everyone else's problem with it. Mine however still stalled anytime I hit the back break whether I tightened or loosened it so what's the next reason it could be doing this.
Check your vacuum lines that run from the intake manifold to the fuel petcock and make sure there isn't a crack in them. Also make sure there isn't a crack in the intake manifold spacer that goes between the intake manifold and the head of the motor. Could be a crack somewhere.
Does EFI scooter have an idle screw like a carburetor? I have a Lance Cabo 200i that does out every once in a while.
It does not. We work primarily with 50cc scooters, so I am not sure if there are any adjustments that could be made to the cabo 200i. Sorry!
Hi thank you for your video I have a Piaggio Zip 50 2T when I drive and give a full acceleration is luck like is cutting down you don’t now way please thank you
I'm not sure what you are asking me here. I'm sorry. Can you try to rephrase?
I was having the problem of riding for 3-4 miles and then the moment i stop accelerating my scooter turns off. So i did what u recommended here and its working now, but could it be that now i have way too high idle ? My scooter sometimes starts moving with no acceleration and my fuel consumption went up like crazy? Could lowering help or you would recommend something else ?
Yes. Turning up the idle delivers more fuel to the engine to keep it running, so if it is turned up too much it will burn more fuel and it will start moving with no accelerator being turned. I would recommend turning it down. Sometimes you have to find that sweet spot between it being too low and dying out and being too high.
Hi mate, I have a Peugeot vivacity 9/02 can not get started, have got spark and fuiel, can not find how to check valves or were the cover is, it was running 2 year’s ago but would conk out after running awhile, now trying to use it again, can you help, I’m thinking it may have sticking valves?? Regards Chris
I'd assume it's carburetor related, especially if it's been sitting that long. I am not familiar with that scooter though, so I would recommend getting it into a shop close to you. Thank you!
Also what valve lashes should my scooter have? It’s a 50cc taotao scooter. I have it .004 IN and .005 EX. It’s super tappy and loud.
.003 and .005
Fairly new apriliia storm scooter. Engines dies when throttle is pulled. But doesnot have any problem once it gets warmed up. Will this solve the issue. It happens everyday when trying to start the scooter.
Check the fuel-air mixture. Some scooters have a screw to adjust. You may be able to adjust the needle in the carb or you may be able to adjust how much air is being sucked into the air filter. Sounds like an adjustment there will help.
What's the ideal idle speed? Mine was 3000rpm warm and it seems to be a little fast. It kept feeling like it was gonna stall at stop lights (never did though). What rpms should I adjust it to? Thanks!
Can be different depending on scoot. For example, idle speed is specified at 1600 RPM +/- 100 RPM for a Wolf Islander. You might have a broken clutch that is dragging or your carburetor idle circuit is compromised. But also, you have to consider other factors like spark, valve lash, air cleaner, and overall state of the motor. Hope that helps some!
Well, it's an automatic so it's definitely not a broken clutch. I made an adjustment to the idle screw and it's running much better now. Idles at about 1800-2000. Thanks a lot!
Awesome. [You do have a clutch, but your transmission is CVT.] . Safe Scooting!
Do you know if I can do this on a 2008 Sym Symply? Has a low idle but I'll try this tomorrow and see if it had the screw
If it's a 50cc, it should have an idle adjustment. If it's 2-stroke, it may look different, but it should still have one.
Ive got a 250cc scooter the other day I was riding it and it felt like it was running out of gas but it picked up started running but it doesn't have the acceleration like it did before that ordeal
Sorry to hear that. Probably a fuel or air issue. I'd get it to a tech when you can.
I did that with the vacuum disconnected it is working but today I sow that the vacuum was disconnected* I connect every thing in place and now the scooter want to stop if I'm not pushing the gas, I did again what you said in the video but it still wants to stop. It is smoking very bad, the spark plug is getting black/dirty every time I am driving the scooter. I know that it wold be a great idea to get the scooter to a service but I cant find one close to my town :p
Any idea?
Thanks.
It's difficult to say what is going on because there could be several things... there could be a vacuum leak, there could be something going on with the carburetor, there could be something going on with the cylinder and piston itself, etc. As much as I wish I could tell you what the problem is, I wouldn't be able to properly diagnose it without having it in front of me. All I can say is to troubleshoot these things and start with the easiest first :/
Ok, I adjusted my idle for my moped but it still stops. Am I suppose to let it warm up before I take off? Is it because the engine is cold? I'm still a bit lost
Yes. Please let it warm up. That will probably help a ton and help a ton more if you live in a colder climate. The scooters do have an automatic choke which helps, but it's still WAY better if you let it warm up. Thanks!
Hi, I have a concern in my scooter. Every time I slow down to turn or ride across a hump on a road, my sccoter will suddenly have a slight burst in speed. Is there any fix to this? I tried adjusting the idle speed but it's still doing the same speed bursting
Hmmmm... maybe a vacuum / air problem. Check your vacuum lines to make sure they aren't getting pinched by a shock or something when you turn. Also make sure none of the lines are interfering with your throttle cable on your carburetor.
I have an opposite case. The idle is slightly high and my scooter is pushing forward in idle. So I tried adjusting that screw by unscrewing it as far as it could. But that's not bringing down the rev. What's the problem?
Is your throttle cable too short? Did you recently replace that? You should be able to adjust the cable some too at the throttle handle and on the carb. It could be pulling to much on the carb (giving it too much gas)
What would be the difference to tune the carb by this bolt and not the fuel bolt?
I noticed my bikes is really hard to start on cold and shuts off at stops from times to times although the idle speed is strong and stable since i tuned my carb.
on cold starts it starts usually with the help of turning slightly the handle about 1/8, so perhaps this bolt will do the job
Are you talking about the fuel / air mixture screw? The video shows the idle adjustment, so it is different. Not sure I completely understand what you are asking though.
@@NewScooters4Less fuel jet screw that is located on the side of the carb is responsible for the idle also. you touched the air screw bolt
When you give it throttle on start up. Your accel.pump throws gas into carb. Better starts! Bill
what about the opposite.
so mine works well cold, picks up very quickly. but after 2 mins then the bike bogs , i then have to fether the throttle up to it gets to a higher or around 20mph speed then works fine.
please get back to me if you get yhe chance.
many thanks, rich
Vacuum leak possibly. Check for cracks in the vacuum line, intake manifold, intake manifold gaskets/spacers.
Hello I have a moped 150 mL and I was on it and I heard something pop in and when I hit the throttle it doesn’t run but is still turned on all the lights any idea what might be going on I’m trying to fix it myself with no experience so any idea that will be a great help thank you
If your scooter starts and revs up but the rear wheel doesn't move, then you have a broken drive belt. You will need to take the transmission casing off and replace the drive belt. Thanks!
I had that problem, to solve it I set the air/fuel mixture screw 1-1/2 turns out and then the idel at 1900rpm when cold, after warmup rpm is at 1900~2300 problem solved.
Nice.
I wss wondering why it cuts off i just installed a new carb didnt know you have to adjust the idle i appreciate this
Glad we could help!
So I have a TaoTao Quantum 150 that has a bunch of mods done too it like a big bore kit, different exhaust, carb with a 30 mm intake that has been re jetted and nibbi extension with a UNI air filter on it.
The bike runs great on the kickstand and transitions fine and has a good idle too it. Top speed is great and has no problems at all. It actually runs good for a few miles than it's starts this issue. The problem is when u get down to about the 15 mph or so the bike shuts itself off and dies out. You CAN restart the scoot bike right away.
It does have a fuel filter up by the tank itself(stock location)and I added one on the main fuel line going to the carb too, both look good.
Things I have done already are:
1. Drilled a hole in the gas cap already to prevent vapor lock, since I had this problem when I first got the scoot
2. Checked the valve clearance are both set too .004
3 Zip tied the vent hose off of the vapor canister off and deleted the EGR from the head too
4 I also have played with the float bowl level in the carb and ended up putting it back in the original spot I found it in....
5. Checked the idle numerous times
Anybody have any idea what could be going on or what a remedy for me would be?
Do you think it could be electrical? On these cheap chinese scooters like Tao Tao, I've seen the type of issue you are describing with bad ignition coils. May want to replace the coil and see if that does the trick.
I just bought a piaggio typhoon and when i rev the engine and drive it it stalls sometimes i have only driven it about 10-20 meters. Do you think it does this because it’s new or what do you think?
100%. Let it break in a bit. It can be adjusted like in this video if it continues to be an issue though. Thanks!
New Scooters 4 Less cheers!
What is the condition of your battery?
Mine's great. George's may be another story, lol.
What is the condition of your battery?
Great stuff ! Thank you !
My relatively new Piaggio scooter keeps dying out whenever I'm idle, I will try this when I get home !
I assume the screw simply gets a bit loose over time from all the bumps and shocks on the road.
No problem! It could come loose, but it's more likely that there are external factors leading to it... break-in of the vehicle / wear over time, warm / cool weather, etc.
@@NewScooters4Less Same thing with my brand new 2018 Bintelli Scorch that I got on November 19th, 2019. So I'm assuming it's either the warm/cold weather that keeps changing down here in St. Petersburg, FL, it breaking in, since it's coming near 500 miles, but currently at 450 miles, or my carb cleaned or replaced.
@@JovanteeBlair In this instance, probably breaking in. Your unit is so new that adjusting it and fine-tuning in the first 500 miles is pretty normal. Thanks!
Mine is a 2012 Typhoon 125 with 10,000+ miles. It has started doing this recently. I am going to try the idling screw, but I'm wondering if it might be indicative of something worse?
@@jpy8 Possibly. This also happens when there is a vacuum leak, etc. However, these idle adjustments are super common.
Thank you I got that problem when the engine is cold it turn off i need to do that tomorrow morning ill do that
Sounds good!
My issue: Where you have it on the center stand it idles fine, but the back wheel is moving. When I hit the rear brake, then it dies out. It's like the power from the motor never disengages from the back wheel. Thoughts?
Is your concern that the back wheel is moving when it is on the center stand? (As long as the scooter doesn't feel like it is pushing you when it is on the ground,) it's ok for the back wheel to move a little bit when on the center stand because when it is on the ground, it won't. Does that make sense? (Think about it like a car... When you take your foot off the brake in a car and it is in Drive, it wants to creep forward. Your foot on the brake is keeping it from moving forward. It's similar with a scooter... when your scooter is off the center stand and on the ground, the brake and your body weight keep the scooter from moving forward (unless of course the idle is too too high and the scooter feels like it is pushing your forward when idling)). Hope that helps!
Oh it’s definitely pushing me. It jerks the whole scooter with each stroke of the motor until it dies. I’ve adjusted the carb with the same symptoms. That’s why I wonder if it’s the transmission assembly
@@93paxon I'm almost willing to bet it is 100%! Sounds like the clutch may still be engaged when you are at a stop. Probably a popped spring on the clutch assembly! Definitely check that out!
Ok here we go i just replaced my carb and it wont electric start or kick will come on if i twist throttle but it wont stay running to adjust idle? I have to twist it alot to make it rev..then heres a another problem ive tried a bunch of times for it to start with my electric start now it wont make the click noise but a diff noise now??? Im worried i broke it..makes like a zooommmm noise when i push the electric start in im so sick of scooters.. can you please help me ive also check my hoses to make sure there good after replacing the carb..
Sounds like the starter motor is just spinning or the starter clutch gear isn't grabbing. Could have come unaligned in the transmission. I'd get it to a shop man. Sorry!
What can cause this problem though as my scooter has been running perfectly up till this started.
Thanks.
You could have a vacuum leak. Check vacuum hoses, etc. to make sure there are no cracks, etc.
Help! I adjusted my idle already and it wont idle anymore since like the 4th day i had it its been bogging out and now its getting worse and will barly start only 467 miles on it im foing to try and clean the carb on it to see if it helps any but idk it might be running too lean
If it's bogging out, definitely check the carb and check the air filter. Sounds like a fuel / air issue. Are you putting the proper fuel in it?
Hi please I have tried adjusting like you sai but is not working for my kymco scooter is either I higher it if I try lowering anytime my hands let go off the gas then it automatically go off what could be the solution
You probably have a different issue. My guess would be a vacuum leak somewhere. Check your vacuum lines, intake manifold, and make sure that there are no cracks where air could be escaping. Thanks!
Hey I have a 4stroke motofino 150cc. It starts and idles fine but when go to accelerate it bogs down and shuts off. Any suggestions?
Fuel air mixture? Probably getting too much of one or the other. It probably has a fuel / air mixture screw you can adjust.
I’m trying this tomorrow.
Hope it works for you!
Awesome
Glad it helped!
My 2009 Vespa 150 LX ie is having the same issue. Im going to try this in the morning.
Thank you.
Jesus Mejia let us know!
hi, i didnt use my scooter this winter, and now, when its on the stand its starts but when i leave it down it will just cut out, i kept it running on the stand a few minutes to warm up but then it was doing the same, do you know what it could be??
Is a vacuum line or fuel line getting pinched by something when it comes off the center stand? I would check your lines to make sure they aren't caught up in a shock or something.
@@NewScooters4Less even if the scooter is not running and is not on stand it dosent start, i was thinking is something to do with the wheal being in the ground and not being able to spin..
@@sarahmulqueen9014 I'm not sure I understand. If it's starting and the wheel won't spin and feels stuck, you could have a broken clutch spring or another transmission problem.
@@NewScooters4Less sorry about that english is my second language, the wheal is spinning when is on the stand, but when i leave it down the engine just stops, and its a 125 cc twist and go there's no clutch, its ok nevermind i think i need a mechanic to check it properly, thank you
@@sarahmulqueen9014 Not a problem. If the wheel is spinning when it is on the stand, the idle may be turned up a tad bit high. There is a clutch, but it's a CVT transmission (meaning it's automatic, aka - twist and go). I would definitely get it into a shop when you can! Good luck!
HELLO PLZ HELP ! when i start mine , it doesnt a actually keep that rev ... in about 4 seconds it allways die out when stoped ... SO can it be screwing it up a little when its OFF then see if it fixed ??? and is it propubly coz the battery thats dying? or a some dirty in the carb???? thnx a lot
Could be a vacuum leak. Look for cracks in the vacuum hose or the intake manifold. I'd start there.
So.i did this and found it still wasn't staying on I went to the throttle cable on the carb and now it revs wayyyyy to high and if I even move the screw it dies down if I adjust it ... What am I doing wrong or what do I need to adjust instead the cable back more slack or tight ? And loosen the bold more ? I'm at a loss going 30 mph with 100 cc
I'm sorry. I would need to look at this one in person. Do you have a shop near by?
hi i have problem with my yamaha vino 125 2006 has spark has gas exhaust is good valve is good crank but wont start i change the carburator cdi /coil / valve ajust compression check 140 psi still wont start what can be the problem [note i have 2 yamaha vino 1 running 1 not running ] thanks
john woo honestly man, I’m not going to be a lot of help here. Sounds like you have all of the requirements. When you say it ‘has gas’ does that mean that it just has gas in the tank or you know for a fact that gas is getting to the carburetor? How old is the fuel? If you have spark and compression, I’d replace the fuel / fuel system: new fuel, 93 octane minimum, replace fuel lines, fuel filter, and reclean the carb. Hope that helps.
thank very much its will help to check my cygnus it is died whem i stop
Awesome. Glad we could help.
Hi, I have a 50 cc 2006 Vespa and when I first start it up it seems to idle fine. However, after letting it idle for a few minutes (like 3 minutes), if I give it even a small amount of throttle, it dies. Once it warms up for like 5-10 minutes I can usually get it going, but I wasnt sure if I should try what this video suggests or if there's something else it might be.
Any help is appreciated because I'm completely new to scooters.
This seems like it is fuel/carburetor related more than likely. What kind of fuel are you running in it? When was the last time you had the carburetor tuned up. Seems like maybe the jet in the carb is gunked up causing this issue. A good cleanout on the carburetor would more than likely resolve this.
@@NewScooters4Less thanks for responding! We have been using regular 89 octane gas in it. A few days ago my hubby cleaned the jets on the carburetor, put a new battery in (not sure if this was the problem but it needed a new battery anyway), and today we put 91 octane gas in. Once we get it warmed up, it seems to run pretty good. However, I watched the carburetor + throttle cable when I was warming it up today, and there is one part that occasionally sticks when I apply throttle. Sorry I dont know part names, but it is next to the throttle cable, it is a small metal tab with a spring-like pump under it that was not springing back into position when I let off the throttle.
I'm guessing if I do a more thorough job cleaning the carburetor, it should help. Thank you!!!
@@lord_pants Yea. Sounds like it could be something like that. More importantly, stop using 89 octane. Always used the highest grade octane gasoline at the pump. It will help a ton!
Will do, thanks a bunch!
@@lord_pants Anytime!
Please help, I'm not getting any gas to stay into the carburetor, in order to fuel the motor . have tried another carb as well. Does the same thing..., please reply..,
If you aren't getting fuel to the carburetor, then you may have an issue in the vacuum system or fuel pump. Make sure there are no cracks in your vacuum lines and then replace the fuel petcock that attaches the fuel tank to the fuel lines and filter. It could be faulty.
It happens twice to me, I usually don't wram up my sccoter, do I have to warm it up for 10 minutes?
Scooters have an automatic choke that helps with this in those first few minutes, but I find them to be ineffective sometimes based on certain climates (how cold it is outside, etc.) I always think it's a good idea to let the scooter warm up for a couple minutes, but we live in Florida and when we go outside in summer, the scooter is already warmed up, lol. If your idle is too low and your scooter is dying every time you stop, turn it up a tad. Just don't turn it up too high.
Mine idles high at a cold start and then after awhile slowly dies down until it turns off this is without touching the throttle but if I touch the throttle I can keep it does a misfire little bit and I'm thinking that's a spark plug issue but I'm not sure what's your guy's is your adVice
Depending on what kind of scooter it is, it probably has an electric choke attached to the carburetor and that is why it slows down after it has been running. Is it only doing the little 'misfire' after you first start it? May want to give the scoot a couple minutes to warm up. If it is misfiring while all the time, then you could have a spark plug issue, but it could be a few different things. I'm not sure where you live, but maybe just let the scooter warm up for a few minutes before going and see if that helps.
What do I do when it’s maxed out the screw it turned all the way and the idle is still rough and it stalls out
You have a different problem. Could be a vacuum leak / issue. Could be something internal with the carb. Could be an airflow problem. Could possibly be electrical too. Sorry! May need to have someone look at it :(
Hey, I have the same problem with Yamaha Neos 2009 4 stroke engine, how to solve this?
Does it have a carburetor? Can you make this adjustment made in the video? Also check for vacuum leaks (cracks in the vacuum lines, crack in the intake manifold, etc.)
I have one question... Please help me this. 1) During initial acceleration in my mopped it is not moving... I need to raise it even more than a other mopped.
2) Engine turns off when the scooter is not running.
I’m really sorry, but I’m not sure what you’re asking. If your scooter is cutting out on you, then yes… you may need need to increase the idle a little bit.
@@NewScooters4Less when I accelerate slowly, it does not moves during initial acceleration, I have to raise it even more to make it move.
What could be the problem?
@@balajir4593 Maybe a transmission issue? Maybe the variator and/or clutch isn'tt enging the belt correctly. It's difficult to say. Ii'd recommend getting it into a shop. Thanks!
I have italika motor D125 in any weather when i turn on the scooter the battery makes a sound and wont turn on,so i need to kick start the scooter
what seems to be the problem??
Does the battery work well in the warm weather? Could be cold-cranking amps in the cold. Could be tight valves and need an adjustment. Could be a variety of things, but a valve adjustment is probably what I would look at first.
For me? It seem to be a different problem.. As if the Starter clutch or drive clutch is sticking when I hit the brake. My scoot stops as soon as the wheel stops?
Have you opened the transmission casing and looked inside? Maybe a broken spring in there on the clutch or something. Should be able to pop off the case and take a look around.
Did this a few days ago and still having problem when coming to a stop. I can't put the idle any higher or she'll start moving on her own.
Sounds like you have a different problem. Did you check to make sure you don't have any vacuum leaks? Check the vacuum line and make sure there are no cuts in the hose, etc. This is also a common occurrence.
I’ve tried this on my 125cc moped and it didn’t work as good so I cleaned the carb to see if that worked still didn’t work it’s a 2022 plate so I’m not sure it also loose power
Could be something else causing your issue. Do you have a shop you can take it to?
Does that help if it's kinda slow after you stop at a stop light? It goes but takes a few secs to start?
Maybe a little if your idle is super super low. If it bogs when you give it gas and it is taking a few seconds for it to 'catch' and really start accelerating, you could have a carb problem, air problem, etc.
New Scooters 4 Less oh okay could it be because I'm at about 3200miles and I have only changed the oil? I have a wolf 1
Possibly. You probably need to give it a really good tune-up. Where do you live?
New Scooters 4 Less I live all the way in CT. Connecticut
Go to Connecticut Scooter Pros. They will take excellent care of you. They are very good friends of ours.
My scooter does not have idle i give it gas it runs let off gas it dies. I've adjusted idle, don't work. Could it be something with accelerator handle or throttle cable?
Could be. May need to adjust the throttle cable where it attaches at each end to make sure it is not too loose. Probably needs to be tightened up. And if your scooter is carbureted, it has an idle adjustment.
My garage called that the throttle tension screw. They said that if you're tweaking t
it to keep your scoot alive there's probably another issue! That's why once you've adjusted it, the engine doesn't die down as quickly as it did when you release the throttle. Maybe air leaks in the rubber manifold or the idle speed screw (on the side) isn't adjusted correctly.
The screw on the side (depending on the type of scooter) is usually a fuel / air mixture adjustment. With the idle screw (what I'm showing in the video), if you have to tighten it all the way down to keep it alive, there is definitely a problem. Like you suggested... a vacuum leak through the manifold, etc.
+New Scooters 4 Less I believe the keihin carbs fitted to modern piaggio scooters have the air/fuel mix on the under side of the carb.

#15 is idle speed
Obviously yours is completely different but I'd say there's a lot of people with one of these in their bikes.
What if I do this and it doesn’t work, when I higher the acceleration the wheels move to much and when I lower it just sounds like it’s going to die again, there’s no in between with mine, maybe battery ?
Check for vacuum leaks. Could be a crack in your vacuum line, could be a crack in the intake manifold, etc. Thanks!
I have a similar issue except that the idle on my scooter increases after lowering it . I’ll lower the idle so that the scooter doesn’t pull forward but once I give it throttle the idle revs higher and stays there along with the back wheel constantly turning. I have to constantly adjust the idle lower and it’s super annoying. Any suggestions as to what to do or how to fix it? What could be the cause? Thanks!
Also after I stop giving it throttle it stays at an higher idle than before.
@@jarodhuber2687 The throttle isn't getting stuck open some how, right? Also, check the vacuum lines, intake manifold, and intake manifold spacer (between the manifold and engine) for cracks. If they are all fine, I'd swap the carburetor and see if that solves the problem. (It's hard for me without having the unit in front of me, so I hope this helps!)
Is it bad for the engine to run high idle for too long or all day
I would definitely adjust it, otherwise you are unnecessarily going to be burning more fuel.
