Help! My scooter won't start.....
« on: April 22, 2014, 02:01:58 AM »
I have a 2012 super 8 50 2t and at the moment it's my primary mode of transportation.  It stalled a couple times while driving it full throttle and now I cannot start it.  It "cranks over"....but won't start.  The gas is good, fill the tank every week with ethanol free gasoline.  I changed the spark plug and cleaned the air filter.  My next step is to check fuses than check to see if I have spark.  Any suggestions/advise?  Thanks!

The fuse is therre for the starter motor. If there is an Ign. fuse I am unaware of one.
Test for spark. fuel in the cylinder. and compression. It is one of them.

Several auto shops rent compression testers or you can buy a decent one for around 30.00 at Ace Hardware
Screw the tester in, and have the throttle wide open to check. It should be at least 120 psi on the gauge.
