What does putting reg. Oil in it do..... How bad is it and or is it a good thing

[swimmingfree]

2 cycle oil it to help it not lock up the stock oil pump wont put a nuff oil in so that will help .. along with the bigger jet you shod have in will help it not run to lean and get to hot and lock up ..

Everything seems to be running fine now. The only problem as of now is that the scooter bogs when going downhill and when i reach about 27-30 mph.

it is possible the main emulsion tube in the carb could be partially clogged with oxide deposits or your float and or needle could be worn

Throttle at WOT or idle?

OH and ignore the idiot twins.

It happens at wot and his spree just wont climb in speed on the down hill

Sounds like a fuel issue. Make sure you have a really solid fuel flow to the carb. Also check the float setting for being low.

[mark.nichols18]

how would we check the float setting.......just remove the bowl and tweek a screew or is there something different we have to do

[Bear45-70]

Not to hard. Get a clear hose for the drain (you should have them on all you fuel, vacuum and drain lines anyway) and then route it up next to the carb. Open the drain screw and the fuel will fill the hose. Then you can see how high the fuel level is.



FYI the float tab is not really adjustable. It is plastic and will break if you are not super careful.

Ok do i do this when the scooter is running or off.... And what do i do if the setting is to low

[swimmingfree]

i may be wrong but i wood think to do what bear said and at home and put some block under the stand start the motor then push the front end down to to see what happens to the gas level .. first
