Why won't my scooter run? common GY6 engine issues if you let your scooter sit for a long time.

in this video I show you my process of getting scooters that sat for a long time to run again.

Bro, I love the way you broke it down and systematically went through it. Right to the point. Good job👍

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!!

If Berrymans isn't sponsoring this channel you need to find a new company for your carb cleaner cause you definitely have been doing them some great advertising.

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.

Congrats on bringing her back from the dead! Good tips I'm probably gonna need soon.

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

R on the plug is for resistor. I have always used the C7HSA plug

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.

Hey bro, I'm not sure but I believe the model has hazzard flashers. IDK I've been flipping & I have seen some crazy things people have done on their scoots. I live in Ohio & my only option is ethanol 😔 lol. Do you have a preference on fuel stability products?? IDK I drain everything because my riding season doesn't last long here. Nice work on the little VIP 💯🎬🛵👍.Salute my friend 😎

[donbarcomb]

I just hit the part where u confirmed spark…my guess is valve adjustment! One of them is not closing all the way!

[chuckymanb]

On the no fire not all ways the full stator sometimes it's just the pick up lil black box above the magneto

[jimmyalgiere]

Is the fuse wire on Batt?? Where does that wire run to? working on my 250cc roketa scooter and lost the ignition? Turn the key on and will not show signs of life.I can't find the wire that has a fuse going to the Batterie.

[ezraoakley]

Hey I finally got it up and running and it was running real good but I ended up broken the Kickstart

[reginaldb.campbelljr.]

I had a V.I.P it got stolen on thanksgiving of 2019 from my job! Thang rode good!

[ginogranata]

R on the spark plug is for "resistor"

[nastynatesscooters]

What’s that green wire you got grounded to the cylinder head, what’s it going too?
