starts fine, no power
« on: August 05, 2014, 07:56:27 PM »
After sitting idle for the winter I started my 07 Agility and it initially ran fine (~1mile to get fresh gas).

Later in the day I took it to the bank, at a couple of stop signs I gave it gas but nothing happened, no power. After a few seconds and multiple twists of the throttle power returned and I was able to pull off.  At no time did the engine stall.

The next time I tried go for a run the scooter started fine but no power.  When I twist the throttle there is little if any change in engine speed although there is a change in engine noise.

Any idea of what my problem might be and how much it would cost to fix?

Don't think that it is related but the battery is flat, lights etc work as expected when the engine is running.

Thanks
