Title: carb or stator problem?
Post by: bandit on May 15, 2012, 02:10:32 AM

I have a 2009 people s250. Took it out tonight and it started to cut out when i got above 40 mph. It idles and revs fine. I always use high octane gas and over the past winter I always added sea foam when I filled up. I'm leaning towards the stator ???. I'm lucky that it's still under warranty.

Problem solved. Turns out when I stored the scoot in my shed for a couple of weeks to work on my motorcycle a family of mice moved in  the air filter box.
 When I took the air box cover off the filter was completely clogged with Insulation.
I looked in the shed that I just built last summer I found out  mice had moved in and used my roll of insulation in the corner as bedding in the air filter box. I need to borrow my neighbors cat. :D

Thanks zombie, I think the mice have moved out. I've set out a few traps to see what happens.

Mix a bottle of Tabasco sauce, and a box of Cayenne pepper. Pour it around the area, and they will move. I had RATS in a shop, an didn't want to kill them so I made them Wish they were dead.

I can't hurt them either. We have a pretty big black bear issue here, and the City Hall has petitioned Game, and Fish to allow "Culling" (killing) some for a specified time. I responded that every bear "culled" will result in an equal action on MY part. Of course I was asked to leave but my Point was discussed at length by the rest, and the motion was pulled.  Some times a Dictator in the mix helps.

We cannot kill rats infesting our office building. The Company President is a Chinese, born in the year of the OX. It is said in Feng Shui that the Ox and Rat are best friends and gives each other luck. Rats here are "collected", and let loose far away from here.
