Scooter problem (trouble giving too much throttle)
So when I'm driving 50 cc my scooter, basically it starts fine and runs fine to a certain point - but if i give it too much throttle the engine bogs down or stalls out or something and i have to let off the gas, and then give it more gas or it dies. It just started doing this, and instead of being able to go the usually ~30 mph, it only gets about 15-20 mph before giving more gas causes it stall out.
It's a pretty new scooter, I bought it in august. It's a motobravo 4 stroke 50 cc scooter. Anyone have any idea what the problem could be?? |

I hope Blayne doesn't see this thread, he HATES scooters!
It sounds like the automatic clutch is not working properly

Re: Scooter problem (trouble giving too much throttle)
I thought some one was joking.
I mean who ever thought of a scooter with "too much throttle" Just kidding mate. welcome to the forums. it a long running joke about me and scooters. I'd say it could be fouled plugs or bad fuel too. Jeffcoslacker would be your best bet. he's got a lot of mechanical experience.

Re: Scooter problem (trouble giving too much throttle)
I presume its a carb, as nobody has an EFI 50cc scooter - yet.
Possibly you have some dirt in the carb float bowl or fuel line which is restricting fuel flow. Your bike may have a sediment bowl or a filter in the fuel line, which need to be cleaned out or replaced respectively. The float bowl should be removable. A bit of carb cleaner and possibly a bit of compressed air wil clean up the bowl and the jet(s). However, carbs are quite delicate and easily damaged. Be very careful or leave the repair to a professional if you have never worked on one before. |

Re: Scooter problem (trouble giving too much throttle)
Bogging down can be caused by...
- Air filter is clogged. - Engine is getting too much fuel. - Ignition system is giving too weak of a spark to properly ignite the fuel in the cylinder. - Choke system is not fully opening; which leaves you with a bad air/fuel ratio and can cause too much fuel to be getting into the cylinders. |

Re: Scooter problem (trouble giving too much throttle)
maybe he should upgrade to the 5 port 150cc motor!
