Today I try to start, a click at the silinol. 13.8 volts at battery, silinol. Check opposite side of silinol when start button is pushed, 13.8 volts.
Tap on starter with my small hammer, starts right up. Connections are tight. Is the starter locking up for some reason?
This is a real pia!, when I get in from work & ride! Note: cut out the old style fuse, & replaced with a new mini fuse & holder,
Soldered up both connections. Right now all plastics are off, will test some and back to work!!! Will be glad when my Eilo
Gets delivered!

Take your starter off, it may be full of oil.

#2115, thinking on silver with auto, + any upgrades. Hurts too much to work clutch in heavy traffic, guess I'm getting older.
Plus doing stupid things when I was younger. Oh thanks Alley!

Rich I'm 1657 , I'm not too sure I will take any upgrades . Now if they had factory removable hard top , I might think about it . I may put in an oil cooler and or trans cooler . Heavy traffic here in NYC .
I think we may have seen the same post/thread on the forums .

Went for a ride today, 3 miles from house, scoot died, have power, checked for fuel, no gas at carb, remove fuel filter, go direct to carb after dropping
Fuel line to fill with gas. Start ran 1 min. Died again, would not start. Fuel pump? Have 12 volt fuel pump on hand, will hook up & run tomorrow.
Yes tank is full of gas!

Why Electric fuel pump the scoots work off Vacuum Operated Fuel Pump. There should not be a problem with a Vacuum operated Fuel pump. Electric you have to worry about the battery being in good shape as well as causing more draw on the weak charging systems on these scoots.

Replaced fuel pump, got good gas flow, drained carb to check for water. Cannot fire up or start.
Started motor cycle shopping , HD sportster 883L. Got financed, scoot will sit for now. Drained gas
Out of tank & carb, very disappointed, really wanted a liter cycle.

Finally a couple of days off, tore off plastic, pulled out carb, & inspected. Must have been a very strong assembler,
The screws were very tight! Found mini bugs & rubber inside carb & main jet. Found a 106, replaced with a 122,
I'm going to a better air filter. Cleaned & reassemble, will replace with new gas & try to start. Have on battery charger
Since April.

With a 122 you're going to need more air for sure, might consider the OEM jet cleaned out and raising the needle notch?

9/5/14 had an electrical problem, wire broke off on hot side off solenoid . Fixed added fresh gas & started, ran to warm up engine
Had to set idle at 1800 rpm, checking wot at 7500 rpm, Boom! Belt discentagred , remove cvt cover & clean out.
Will have to remove every thing to clean. Any ideals or info will be taken. Thank you for your advise.
Note: when running on the stand, ran smooth through rpm range, just had trouble setting idle, it was too low.
Well cleaned out everything, including the inside & cover. Got new belt on, looks kind off tight!
Charging the battery right now, will try to start latter.
