OK.. here's the deal:
The Subject: a 260 Linhai/Diamo Turista. 2K miles.Very good condition. Original parts. Runs very well at speed. Using it for morning work commute (3 miles) and occasional weekend ride (30/40ish miles).
The Problem: When coming to a stop, and off the throttle completely, scoot will sometimes cough and die. Sometimes before it even rolls to a stop. Sometimes after a brief idle sit. Cold or hot.
This is VERY annoying, and at times, VERY unsafe, such as when I'm perhaps trying to CROSS TRAFFIC in a left turn (has happened twice so far).
Before I strip off cowling and replace $$$ worth of ignition/carb/fuel lines, I was wondering if anyone else had a related problem on their own scoot, and what they did to fix this situation.
I have a new/better spark plug, and am pondering a hotter coil/wire, but if this is a simple adjustment or fix, I'd rather save budget money for the time being. You know how it is.
Simple adjust up of the idle speed? Check carb mixture pin? Sacrifice a 49cc bolt on bike motor to the ScooterGods (I've an extra I need to dispose of)?
I'm fairly handy with auto mech-a-necks, which one learns if one ever has a Ford, so a bit of wrenching will not be a problem; it's just that I'm still learning the quirks of these single cylinder little darlings, and don't want to make a total hash of it.
Any and all advice will be appreciated!
