Other day saw little puddle under Buddy ... checked it out , smelled like gas ..... I had just filled it and I did get it fuller then then I should have so I thought maybe it just spilled over because it was sitting outside and it was hot outside. I drove it a few times , no problemes , no puddles. Now tonight when I was coming home it was running good then after stopping at a stop sign I could not get it over much more then 20 MPH, kind of sputtering along and it killed in my driveway. A couple of guys at work had this same type of problem with thier TGB scoots.(both scoots were new this year). They had something in the carb. Is this a common problem? Think I'll be bringing mine in to have it looked at since it is only a few weeks old .....
When it happened to them I thought it was kind of funny .... I was giving one of them a hard time , told him "Should have bought a Buddy" .... what goes around comes around

PS ........ Just thought I would add that I and they do not fill up with a gas can .... fill right from the pump. So this stuff had to already be in the scoot to begin with .... some where after the filter .... right?
