I would unhook your alarm,had same problem with my wifes 250b..Went & bought a new battery & still had the problem...So,I have read where the alarm system draws voltage even after the scoot is shut off...So,I unhooked my wifes alarm system this spring & the bike starts better then it ever has.....Bob

Robert1c, the reason your lights go dim for a second,is because it takes more power to start the fan motor,but once it's running it draws less power...I don't think there is much you can do....Bob

On you fuel float...There is a clip on the end of the wire that goes from the sending unit to the float...The clip pervents the wire from slipping out of the sending unit...The chinese put the clip on to far so it don't let the float swing freely..So you need to remove the sending unit from the tank & pry the clip back away from the sending unit,just a little bit...Its a heavy wire,I guess I would compare it to a wire coat hanger....I did it to both of my 54B's & the fuel gage works great now....Bob

Well,I have some very very good news...It's fixed...Stupid me,stupid me...You know that fuse back on the starter relay,Well while working on the swingarm I decided to move it to underneth the set...What I did was use spade connectors & attached them to a wire,then slid them in to where the fuse is then ran the wires to a fuse holder under the seat...I did this to both scoots,but mine I have no problems with..so,I removed my idea & put the fuse back where it should be & bingo...I took it for a 6-7 mile ride & it runs great...So now I guess I will be removing my plastics to put that fuse back where it belongs....I would like to thank each & everyone of yous who helped me & i'm sorry to lead you on to something it wasn't..I am sorry & this site is a great way to get info on these scooters....Again thank you all...Bob

I understand what your saying,but my enricher wire seems to be wrapped around the frame of the bike.....So,would have to pull the plastics off...So after 4 years you think the fuel pump may now be putting out to much pressure,is that possible...This is really pissing me off...nothing against you.....it's me...Bob

well it don't do nothing when I back off throttle.....the fuel pump has been on there for 4 years...why would it be a problem now,as long as it's working....
Well switched the diaphrams around & took the scoot with no problem & with the diaphram from the bad scoot for a 5 mile ride & it ran great no problems at all......
Dam I hate to pull the plastics off of the good scoot to get the carb off...The wire to the enrichener is back in there & I can't unhook the enrichener....So I would have to pull off the plastics......I'm at a lose....wife wants to find a shop to fix it....Not sure I want to do that....

well,I could not get the top off of the carb on the scoot that runs fine,so I didn't change out the diaphrams...
What I did was pull the carb off the one thats having the problems & what I found was a little gas in the tube from the airbox & gas in the area of the intake where it clamps around the carb...I'm so confussed...it looks like it's flooding out by looking at this....But yet,when it loses power or dies out there is nothing no matter whjat you do to the throddle....So,help guys...I'm actually thinking about a new carb,But I hope it cures the problems I'm having.....The last time my wife rode it, it ran great,but when she pulled in the driveway I noticed the fuel bowl drain screw down by the cvt was open a little & leaking gas,so I screwed it in tite but never took it back out until I fixed the swingarm bushings...while doing that it sit in the garage with no airbox on it....then the first ride it started doing this....like I said it idles grerat,but falls flat on its face at 55-65 mph....What I don't understand,why does it idle great & it's good a low speeds,but maybe floods out at high speed.......Well,need help here PLEASE...Bob

I have another 54b & it has the same set up & has never had any problems...it has 13500 miles on it...I have not adjusted the valves for 5000 miles & it still runs great....So,do you think it could be the valves??? It does idle great.....It's my wifes scoot that is having the problems & she ain't happy...it's going to get really nice this coming week & wants to ride...I'm going to pull the diaphram out of my 54b tomorrow & see what happens..I hope it's the problem.....Bob

the fuel pump is a mr gasket 42s..1-3 psi...It's been on the scoot for 4 years,since I did the pdi..I did eliminate the vac hose going to the old fuel pump.....The scooter has 8500 miles on it..I'm sure it's in the carb to....I hope a new carb would fix the problem....Bob
