Drain tubes top and bottom might be clogged a bit as well.

Hello there, I have had similar problems with my 2013 4T so I don't know if this will be of any help, but issues I have had that have gotten it running after it stalling are the following: Vapor Lock- gas was not flowing to the carb due to vapor lock and was remedied by disconnecting the EVAP system...

I love my white walls but keeping them clean is no easy task. Wire brush and white wall cleaner spray is an usual occurence. I assume if you painted them regardless of how good the product is it wouldn't last too long with the amount of times you have to clean them with a wire brush.

Sorry if this has been posted before, but my ignition coil is turning into dust and my Stella is having a few issues, I think that may be the culprit. Will any scooter ignition coil work for a replacement for a Stella 4t or is there a specific one needed for the Stella 4t?

It looks like it has been mentioned in the thread already but I had a similar problem. It was the kill button and the evap system. The fix was replacing the kill button and removing the hose on the evap system to the air hose and sealing the hole on the air hose. This fixed the vapor lock issue and ...

srbbnd

Well I reattached all the tubes and took the carb off and put it back on. I also re did the air and fuel screw. I think that remedied the problem.

Thanks

I have noticed when I have a passenger on my scooter it leaks a few drops of gas under the oil holder. When I ride solo it does not leak gas. This makes no sense to me. Maybe the extra weight is causing a bend in a hose, which I do not see any evidence of? Or maybe the extra weight for some reason i...

srbbnd

Well I think I got it fixed. Had to remove the screw completely, the screw had either become stripped or the nut had gotten stuck on it and was not tightening anymore but wouldn't come off as well, either way I had to dremel a slit and get it out. I replaced it with an exhaust screw after dremmeling...

srbbnd

Not the gasket, seems to be the bottom left screw is loose, the oil is coming from the housing above the oil filter between the seal there, think it is because the screw is not tight enough creating a loose seal, need to figure out how to tighten the screw properly without mangling it with a vice gr...

srbbnd

Anyone know where to get different gaskets than the green ones? I think it is a gasket problem, tried a few different ones all green from LML that leak regardless of how tight or loose the filter cover is. Maybe i will try to double or triple them up. I had gotten some red ones that seemed to fit be...

Having the same issue going to give this a try.

Thanks!

My brake fluid is low and I came across this, do you guys have any recommendations for front brake pads or are they all pretty much the same?

srbbnd

Here is a link to a thread I started in the past.

It has a pic of what became disconnected. I put gorilla glue on the air hose/manifold hole. I did not seal the small tube. I have not had any leakage that I have noticed.

srbbnd

There is a nut that you have to slightly adjust. Just turn it a few clicks. It is on the underside of the scoot. Once you get the hang it of it you should be fine for a few thousand miles until it snaps.

srbbnd

The stalling would happen to me occasionally. It would always happen if I put too much gas in the tank. It would also sometimes randomly occur. One day it stopped and I never put much thought into it. However, one day when I took the cowl off the right side I noticed the rubber line from the evap sy...

There is designated motorcycle parking spots in random areas of the town with fair prices. Also some parking lots have special motorcycle parking. Careful parking your scoot and locking it to bicycle racks. The bicyclists in DC are elitists and will have no problem vandalizing your scoot. Never park...

OK, this is an interesting one. A Vespa made by PGO, Taiwan. According to the seller, this was made in 1984 and has a manual transmission. Looks really clean and 150cc 2-stoke? Yes, please. And that convertible VW bug next to it looks pretty tasty, too! https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/mcy/d/vespa-...

srbbnd

I think you are correct on your assumption there was foul play involved, but I cant remember if the 2T and 4T seats are different.

srbbnd

Nice! If you go through Southern Missouri, you will have some better scenery.

Good luck man. How many miles you got on your Donna?

It is in German, and is about replacing a disc brake but is useful for front hub removal.

srbbnd

Thanks for the information. That looks like the part on SIP I went ahead and ordered it.

srbbnd

Hey peeps I have changed the oil a couple times on my Stella 4T but I guess this time I got a little too aggressive. The metal cover for the oil filter cracked and one of the screws is stuck which caused the screw stem to come out. Anyone have a PDF of the Stella 4T Parts catalog or know where to fi...

srbbnd

Hmmm I cant quite tell by that photo, but the air screw and idle screw can get really gunky. Also, my 2013 Stella had a plastic guard on it for the air screw. I don't know what year they started adding it to them, but if it was on there before and was taken off it could cause some problems. It might...

I will try to get a video up, there is no wiggle at all.

I have noticed my Stella 4T seems a little off lately when driving it. When I spin the front wheel it does not spin true, it goes left to right a bit. I put the spare on it and it does the same. Wasn't quite sure where to start to try to remedy this problem. Anyone have any suggestions?

srbbnd

5000!!!! Halfway to my goal.

srbbnd

Oh my that is a lot of work to get to the carb.

srbbnd

If you over-fill you will get vapor lock for some reason.

srbbnd

Niiiiice!

Awesome thanks!

Anyone have any experience with this exhaust?

My fuel gauge stopped working and I was because the wire was lose in the headset. Was an easy fix.

Mine just went today, seems like it is going to be a real pain in the ass to install a new one. It was difficult to even get the speedometer screwed back on the speedo cable. Not looking forward to this.

I recently moved and just got my Stella out of storage after a little over 2 months. I put some gas in it and a battery and it started right up. It has served as my main vehicle for about 2 1/2 years now and after replacing the kill switch after the first few months I have had 0 problems with it. If...

I get it as well and it usually goes away after a few minutes driving. However, I do think this was the culprit for my speedometer getting stuck. I eventually had to take it apart and spray a whole bunch of bicycle chain oil in it to get the speedometer unstock.

srbbnd

Well it finally happened, someone tried to steal my scooter while I was sleeping. Do any of you guys know what they were trying to do? I can't seem to figure it out. It was chained to a tree, so I am not exactly sure why they would break the horn cast first and start screwing with the wires. It also...

I swapped the carbs, and it works great now, I don't know why. I adjusted the idle and air screw per the Stella 4T manual. I took it out on a spin and for some reason it is much faster and got a top speed of 67 mph with the gps. I have know idea if it is the spark plug or carb swap. The air screw on...

I have been driving it around and all is well on a lower idle. It occasionally dies when in neutral or if I am drifting with the clutched pulled in for long periods of time. I am curious to see how this effects my MPG and after a tank or two I will raise it up slightly. What is strange is a while ba...

srbbnd

It is about 4000 miles. I adjusted the idle a bit today, and I think it was too high. It seems like you need a tachometer to really do it right. For the air mixture screw it is protected my an mileage seal protector, whatever that thing is. So I don't think I will break that seal until my two year w...

Iridium, Irrrrri dddddium, just has a nice sound to it. I had to change the center stand springs, because the kickstand wasn't pulling up on its own anymore.

I installed a new spark plug today, runs great, but the old spark plug is completely black on top. I am assuming it has been running too rich. My question is that I am assuming I need to adjust the air mixture screw. However, I am uncertain what direction I need go and what increments would be sugge...

Gapping? Picked up a new spark plug and gapping tool, been about 4,000 miles. What is the proper distance to gap for a Stella 4T?
