hauling scooter
I thought I read on here some info on trailering a scooter, and having a full tank of gas, and that it could cause some issues, but I cant seem to find it. So, is doing that a bad idea, and what issues can it cause, as well as how to fix the issues . thanks

Scoots can jostle around while being trailered, so if your tank is full some can flood the carb, or by chance seep into your air filter (not good).
I've trailered a Buddy 125 with a full tank once.... it was tough getting it to start up and it ran rough for a few miles. Then it settled done and I had zero problem for the rest of the weekend.
Now after five scooters owned and have trailered all of them at one time or another I make sure that I have a 1/4 to 1/2 tank of gas. That's more than enough to get me to a gas station when I arrive at my destination.
