UPDATE!!! THE BEAST LIVES!!!

Okay, got her running.

Went for a short ride... top speed was 40mph, and she was sluggish to get there.


So 3 questions:

1) Why is the idle so varied and how do I make it consistent?

2) Why do the brake lights/blinkers cause the rest of the bike to dim as if it doesn't have power to support them? Brand new battery.

3) How do I get it to produce as much power as it did before (briskly achieving 60mph) instead of putting along and not responding tremendously well with the throttle.


I had to take the carb apart 100% so I'm not sure what the idle and pilot screws should be set at (how many turns from full lock?)

you will have to fill the carb, best way i've read on here is to use the kick start to pump fuel through, about 15 kicks, plenty of exercise!

Thanks a ton for the info... someone else told me to fill the carb with gas and Seafoam before I try to start it... any support for that idea, and if so, how the hell do I do it? lol.

Also, the carb was DISGUSTING!

I'm just wondering HOW clean it needs to be... I've got the jets nice and clean so I'm wondering what else I need to be concerned about with regard to the carb.

Yes. We call brake flud "brake oil" in my language. Isn't it so in English too?

AH! Brake Fluid! We use that stuff too, heheh.

When I think oil, I think gear/engine/tranny oils.

Modified: See post #14 for current status (Still need help).

This has probably been addressed, so if there's a thread somewhere with great information on it, I'm all ears and apologize for asking what's already been stated.

I work on my bike (Suzuki 650) and my car, so I'm confident this won't be a problem, except that I have zero experience with carburetors.

My current plans are to:
Put the carb in a dip or something overnight.

Pull the battery and have it charged & tested.

Drain all gas and put in fresh gas.

Drain and replace oil.

Anything else I should do before I try to get her running again?

She's got about 3000 miles on her and got parked long term once I had a Ducati, heheh. It was my first 2 wheeled mode of transportation, and I learned a TON on it.

Any help is appreciated, and I'd like to get some insight before I have to head home from work today so I can try to get her running this afternoon.

It was starting just fine and dying withing 5-10 seconds. I figured the carb needed a cleaning. It sat up for about 2 months and then this started, but I ran it once a week at idle in the drive way for about 15-20 minutes.

#1) I think I have bad gas - How do I drain it?

#2) I cleaned the carb last night, but the autobystarter won't go back into the carb properly, in spite of my best efforts. Is there a lubricant that is safe to use to get it back in there?

--I am assuming it (the auto bystarter) isn't properly seated because the scooter won't run at all and gets no power now (I only removed and replaced the carb, and that is the only electrical component that I touched.

3) I have no idea wtf to do, I have the service manual for the agility 125, but it's rather cryptic in its approach for someone new to maintenance on motorcycles such as myself.

Fixed ^_^
