Carburetor settings & advice please
Posted: Sat Apr 21, 2012 9:20 pm
I put one 50cc Scooter back into service after long hibernation and did the same prep for the second one. New plug, battery, cleaned tank, flush lines,
check vacuum valve, good compression. The problem can't keep it running.
Put in Seafoam will start after many kicks and can keep running if keep giving it a small rev. I have set the idle screw 2 turns out from closer. The air/fuel screw is appox. 1 1/2- 1/3/4 turns out from closer and slight adjusting to try and keep running. The seafoam seems to be helping I think from yesterday but do not have carb experience. What is usual factory settings for 50cc scoots? any advice or suggestions really appreciated. After putting all the time and effort into getting these 2 back into service prefer not to go the shop route unless last resort. Thanks.
