I still say it's a ground wire. You're going to have to open it up and use the diagram and start tracing wires out one by one to make sure they are correct via the diagram.

Yea it's definitely a ground problem.
If i ground the carburetor using the main frame ground it works as it should and i have it revving etc works perfect.. Problem is i shouldn't have to do this obviously, so what is the problem? Looking at the diagram, "Carburetor Heater" which is the automatic choke should be grounded, would that ground the carburetor? maybe a problem in that area, there is 0.05 resistance from ground to carburetor, which i think should read 0... i get 0 on both wires going to automatic choke, which i assume it is grounded so dunno lol.. Sorry for all the questions JR, appreciate all the help. =)
there is 0.05 resistance from ground to cylinder head as well. Not sure which 1 is engine ground, is it the 1 that is attached to the stator then attached to the frame? or do i attach it directly to the engine?
Also according to the diagram the stator motor is grounded as well.
Don't think there is a problem with the wiring harness personally, i'll keep trying things till i hear back from you. Hopefully i solve it before you reply.
EDIT: I attached it to 1 of the bolts holding down the oil pump cover and it seems to work fine, just want confirmation really that it's okay to do so. Thanks.

Hi my SGX50 Sky was winterised, started after 3 attemps on electric however fuel leaks from carb overflow pipe. Could this just require the carb to be cleaned and the float checking for grime? Many thanks in advance.  |

Hi - New issue now that the carb is spotless. Whilst fitting the electric choke I dropped the screw/washer down the throttle hosing. Removed the carb but it seems to have gone down into the engine manifold. Tipped the scooter vertical and prodded around, nothing obvious in there. Going to purchase a flexible magnet and give that a go. Any other ideas would be appreciated as I don't look forward to stripping the fairings/engine out. Also, what would be the concequences of leaving it down there and running the scooter???  |

At best you can hope it just blows out the exhaust pipe when the engine fires, but it could get between the piston and head and damage the piston?

Thanks JR - I will try the magnet thing first. What is the first thing that the screw would hit down the inlet manifold from the carb please?

Well - Finally got around to removing the fairing and engine intake manifold and there was the little offending bolt lodged in the reed valve. Just gonna put it all back together. Any tips for starting after de-winterisation IE running from drained fuel (do I throttle, crank on kick start no ignition etc). Many thanks in advance.   |

Oh I forgot to add - At the bottom of the carb there is an 'L' shaped metal tube looks like it should have a pipe on it, there was no pipe connected before I removed it and no sign of one to go on it? Any ideas please.   |

Photo similar to the pipe I described in my earlier thread (some photos have a tube on and some don't) confusing...  |

Thanks for the reply - so is a pipe optional and only used when you need to drain the bowl to allow direction into a recipient?
