    I worked on one of these last night. My wire was either too small to make it through the hole in the pilot jet, or it was plugged solid. Even after the ultrasonic. I ended up just buying a new carb. It had sat for six years and the carb was pretty hairy. Nice video. I wish I would have had a bag of pilot jets!!

      Thanks for commenting and watching ‼️ Some of those pilot jets are super small I keep an assortment of jets on hand . Sometimes when I have no choice but to reuse a jet and the ultrasonic cleaner won't do the job I boil them in a pot of pine Sol on the stove that works every time.

    You’re spot on with the carburetors. The pilot jet is about the size of a human hair and does clog easy. I put a capful of seafoam in the tank to keep everything clean.

    I owned a scooter shop, and most of the problems we saw were ethanol-caused carburetter problems after the scooter had sat for a while. The battery on that scooter appears not up to snuff. When it finally started, you had changed chargers, and the starter motor ran much faster. Also, with the air filter disconnected, it will run leaner.

    Try to adjust the lash on the valve rocker it takes a 9mm hex socket, the valve seat gets worned and thus makes a loss on compression remember to TDC before adjustment and rotate a couple of times, if the valves aren't shot, this is a common failure on GY6 engines

    I did hear you say you tried starting fluid in the beginning but I only saw you using carb cleaner. My experience has always been spraying carb cleaner into an engine not running creates a hard start requiring longer cranking until the carb cleaner is cleared. If you spray carb cleaner in to an engine while it's running it will kill the engine and you will see what I mean. I think if you used starting fluid it would have started right up.

    • @scooterrehab6295
      @scooterrehab6295  Год назад

      Yes I said starting fluid then I corrected myself I have never experienced a scooter having a hard start problem because of using carburetor cleaner yes if you spray carbureted cleaner into a running engine it will kill it but it has been my experience you can use carburetor cleaner to start an engine and brake clean thank you for your comment
