Hello All

Quick question

Start my scoot, if its the first start of the day I use the choke, leave it on for about a minute or two.

Then choke goes OFF and engine idles fine. However once I get on the gas to move, she runs really rough, misfires and all. Really badly. Goes away after about 5 mins (which is a very long time when I am trying to get somewhere)

The way I have been getting around it is using the choke for 5-10 seconds after start, then just revving lightly (so the engine doesnt die) until shes warm enough to idle on her own

Any ideas/thoughts?

Thanks

 

Use the twisty thing under the throttle to hold it at high idle with no choke as you warm it up.

 

You might also wanna check what idle jet you got on there, if its a 42 then change for a 45 and readjust the mixture.

 

I used to use the twisty thing until the small plastic thing broke, so cant anymore and have to hold the throttle lol

Thanks for the suggesting the idle jet, I'll have a look

 

You can buy new plastic bits for the twisty thing...throttle lock! That is the word I was searching for!!!

 

What years had the twisty thing?
I dont have one on my 97....wish I did though.

 

haha thanks. I was looking for the words too but just couldnt seem to find it

 

Mines a 97 too, and it came stock from the factory, just under the throttle.

you dont have one?

 

You can buy them and install yourself, murph. I wanna get one on mine.

 

I have a feeling my controlls have been changed.....It had drag bars when I got her...and short cables....Im thinking controls maybe from a newer Low Rider or Superglide.
