Hi, i hope you can help me with my scooter.
I have an agility rs 50 which I have had for 7 months or so. Since i got it, it has had a new top end put in because of lack of oil and seizing.
Recently though I was driving to college and about 2 minutes from my house I pulled over to let a car past and it dident idle. It does this frequently and usually just restarts fine so i tried that and it dident restart. I tried several times to get it going, failed, and so pushed it home. I checked the oil and it was low but not too low to cause problems as far as I know. I had a friend come round and we looked over it and did a few things: Check crank sensor, Check fuel lines, and cleaned the carburetor + jets and a few other things I cant remember of the top of my head. We then thought it could be the piston so we stripped the bike down and replaced the piston which had become really sooty. After doing this and putting it back together the bike still wouldent start. I left it overnight and the next morning I managed to get it running albeit poorly and with lots of kicks. It makes a very bad rattling noise and kind of sounds a bit like a 2t. It also will not idle for more than 5/6 seconds, And will only stay running if I jiggle the accelerator a bit from 1/4 to 1/2 open. I then read that the difficulty of starting and not idling could be valve clearances so I fixed that to 0.004". This did little to help. My friend seems to think the rattling noise could be the exhaust gasket or something similar. Can you please help me fix this as I very much need the bike up and running soon. Thanks
