He is an independant guy out on the Prospect road about 10 min from Exhiibition park. PM me if you ever need his number What I expect happened there with her scooter is the tech who worked on it was a noob or somthing. And to top it off I had her come over to set the carb up yesterday because I didnt have time to do it when she was over last week. There is no way the idle mixture could have been set corrrectly on that scooter when it was in the shop. Ther was a tab in the way of the mixture scew. At one point someone had cut the tab but diddnt cut it all the way so the mixture screw couldnt turn all the way in to turn out the right amount for the starting point as per manual. Just so happens the spot the screw needed to be for idle mixture to be correct was in the rang that was blocked by the tab. Was the idle mixture screw locked in one factory set position on an 85 aero 80? The thing starts and idles so perfect now. Im going to do some plug readings on it next week when I have some new plug for her to do so.[/quote]
The cap with the tab is installed after the screw is adjusted. Yes the '85 has the same setup. I just whack off the tab. If I install a new needle, I do not install the limiter cap. It is all EPA crap anyhow.

Thanks Bear. I knew you would know the answer. I figured that was the deal as I had been told about that kind of stuff on cars. 30 seconds my dremel and a carbide burr that little piece of tab was not an issue. I put a piece of tape over the hole the needle came out of to keep the shavings out of it and givÔÇÿer.
