I have asked this same question several times. I started new threads because every time I looked at an old thread I saw most of the responders did not even own or never had owned fuel injected (except on the car or truck they drove everyday). Over and over I read the same old "common sense" stuff that makes sense except my experience as a mechanic, as an educated man, and as a driver was different.

Over and over I have heard the same old time worn "theories" while my experience was different. Those of us who drive EFI seem to forget the darn thing exists. Every diesel engine I have ever heard of is fuel injected. Setting a injection pump on the old ones was not a chore for the faint of heart amateur that is for sure.

Perhaps at one one time, EFI was expensive to put on a new scooter. But now , I am not sure it adds more than a hundred or so to cost (if that much) and - if you want to put a warranty on the scoot for more than a few hours, It may actually be cheaper.

But the big bang of a nice around 20% increase in power, 5 - 10% increase in fuel mileage, great reduction in repairs and a better lifetime of the machinery is a lot of benefit.

I finally realized we mainly hear only from Carburetor drivers (or fixers) and not EFI drivers. Maybe cause the EFI guys are riding and not trying to figure out how to get it started while they brag how cheap it is. I like cheap, of course, but I don't need it. I learned long ago that reliability beat cheap over and over.

It also reminds me of VW back in the 50 and 60's. You could hardly find a mechanic to fix one. That is till the mechanic's kids got busy fixing them in his backyard while his dad bad mouthed them.

So please, guys, if you do not own one or drive one, how about being quite and seeing if there really is anyone with one out there trying to figure out how to fix it instead of riding it? My Majesty is never in my shop except once in awhile for an oil change. My 150 never needs an oil change cause is not run much.

I good plastic welding kit seems to work well on other brands of scoots. I know of no reason it won't work well on The Linhai too.
