Agility 50 / Scooter starts then dies after sitting a couple days
« on: March 29, 2020, 12:29:02 PM »
2012 Agility 50... I replaced the carburetor last summer.  But now after sitting all Winter (added Stabil to gas), it is hard to start.  I had to use starting fluid and start it several times.  Starts then quits after 2-3 seconds.  After starting like this about 3-4 times it will finally run and I let it warm up by idling then it is fine.
Could fuel be draining out of the carburetor or fuel line?  Could that little "vacuum operated fuel pump" be the problem?  I'm not sure what to change or look at next.
Any ideas, please?  Thanks!

I just purchased a used 2008 Agility... very nice machine.  Previous owner had already performed the variator boss and carburetor jet mods to squeeze out abou 36-38 MPH.  But I wanted a little more so I discovered the mod where you "cut the wire" by cutting into the CDI module.  Did this a couple days ago and got another 3-4 MPH out of the Scoot!

But now I wonder... do I need to use higher octane (89 or 93) fuel?  Any danger to the engine by making this CDI box mod?

Thanks,
