Vitality 50 / Engine at Idle shuts off/stalls. HELP!
« on: September 28, 2012, 04:37:12 PM »
Hey all,
New member here and stumbled across this site. I have no technical knowledge of scooters so please bear with me.
Just purchased a Vitality 50 (2008) with approximately 4000 miles from a friend who had it for a few years on Wisconsin's campus. She runs smoothly and starts ok generally (although have to sometimes give it a little gas for it to catch). My problem is, when I come to a stop and idle, if i don't have a little bit of the throttle turned a little it either idles very quietly or shuts off. Also, sometimes when i give it gas, it will stall for a few seconds and then go.
Is this a sign that I need my carbs cleaned? Slightly clogged fuel lines?
Thanks for the help.
