Super 8 150 / Re: stalling problem is about to drive me crazy
« on: September 20, 2019, 07:06:41 PM »
Just registered to give a huge THANK YOU for this thread, it saved me from having an unusable scooter when my family needed it in the middle of an RV trip and also prevented a 200 mile round-trip drive to the nearest dealer for warranty service.
I picked up a barely used (50mi) 2019 trade-in last week and it had this same problem. It would start and run perfectly for 2-5min and then suddenly die as if the kill switch had been tripped. After sitting a few minutes it would run fine again... for another 2-5min. The digital spedometer was also wildly jumping around so I feared an electrical problem. After checking everything else I finally found this page, tried unlocking the gas cap and leaving it loosely in place... problem solved! The spedometer is now working fine too, for whatever reason.
I'd prefer an unlocked cap anyways so instead of dealing with the hassle of a warranty repair I'm gonna get this unvented OEM for $6, drill it, and see how it goes. https://www.amazon.com/Glixal-ATMT1-208-Universal-Chinese-Scooter/dp/B01F7G92JG/ Anyone tried this or found a vented non-locking cap that fits?
