Super 8 won't start. Need service manual
« on: July 14, 2014, 02:51:27 AM »
Hi fellas,

My super 8 150 won't start after the winter.  I think its cuz I didn't winterize it well; it cranks but wont start.  I have gotten another new battery but still the same.  I think I need to take the carb off and worst the gas tank off to clean them.  I will greatly appreciate if someone has the service manual and is willing to share it with me since I haven't work on super 8 at all.  PDF is fine. 

Sorry to start this forum by asking a favor.   ;)

Thanks in advance!

Before you start tearing anything apart, try starting your scooter without the gas cap on.

Towards the bottom of this page is a 250 manual. I think it's a People but it is the same engine.

This will help you clean the carb...
