50 cc scooter stalls after minute or two of riding

I checked the carb jet, clean. Flushed and cleaned the gas tank. checked the spark plug. it starts up fine, dies after getting to about half throttle. then wont start for about a minute. then starts right up and repeats this. i need to get this baby running asap to get to work and back, any ideas?

You will have to clean the carburator, blow the jets with compressed air,check the float level too and reset.
Good luck.

Some articles I have read suggest removing the stock auto-choke carb and replacing it with a Honda CT70 Carb. Check with a local shop to verify, I do not own either and am just passing along the info.

Another solution suggested by 'OneRide': Try it with the gas cap off. The tank vent might be plugged. Possibly plugged fuel filter. Are you using the choke correctly?

This seems to be a very common problem and no 'one' solution to fix it.

I hope this helps.

if you are getting gas, it's probably too much. is it flooding the motor. make sure your float level height is okay and that your float needle valve assembly is clean and not sticking. if you have an electronic choke, try disconnecting it. it might be malfunctioning. also a possibility your valves need to be adjusted.

SOURCE: ltz 250 wont idle needs full choke to run.cleaned

hi,sounds to me like the air fuel ratio is all up the ***,locate the air/fuel screw on the carb(normally on the side)screw the screw right in untill it stops,then back the screw out 1.5 turns,this should get the bike to run without the choke,once you have the bike running simply turn the screw in or out untill the bike settles into a nice steady idle,should be good to go,hope this helps...cheers

Scooter has 40 original miles.New,old gas, I put innew gas. It starts,idles only, if I give it gas it stalls and won't run..

If the old gas sat in the scooter for a long time the carburetor may be lacquered over and may need to be cleaned. If it has a manual choke see if adjusting that while running will allow it more RPM.

Mower stops running after I've been mowing for about 30 minutes changed the spark plug, fuel filter.was mowing then it just started acting like it was running out of gas until eventually stops.

Take the fuel bowl off and clean then clean the fuel jet. a partial plugged jet will do this. could also be the float in the carb is sticking shut so could need cleaning as well. Would do good to run fuel cleaner through a tank of gas to clean things up. This is just an idea but worked for me.

How can you free fuel flow?

Hi Joe Rutkowski, Fuel lines with a pin hole can cause a problem with the fuel feed. The carb can have a closed choke or only halfway open. The return fuel line has junk in it, like dirt over a period of time. There is a screen inside the bottom part of the carb, it is called a manifold. When taken apart, you can see the screen or any other obstruction between the manifold. Be very careful not to tear the gasket, they are not easy to find sometimes. Be careful also and do this inspection on a clean surface where all the parts are visible. Good Luck!

No gas to spark plug on atv

carb float/needle sticking opening the carb drain will provide evidence if fuel is reaching fuel bowl, if fuel is present then i would suspect the carb is gummed up and it will need to be cleaned ( all jets/passages ) another area could be that the gas cap vent/line is plugged not allowing fuel to flow by gravity feed.

Canadian bike 1991 Yamaha fj1200,50,000kms. engine sputtering at all speeds. Bike can be ridden (barely). No throtle response when cranked full from cruising speed. Fuel tank was drained & checked for...

Chances are there is a water build up in the carb float bowls. The water comes from condensation in the gas tank. Try draining the carbs. Another possibility is carburetor main jets partially plugged up. You must clean the carbs if plugged jets are found to be the problem. Please rate my answer. Thanks. tombones49_152.gif

Wangye 50 cc scooter only starts with full throttle open but at a very low idle and wont accellarate ck.compression ok spark plug ok getting gas ok

sounds like gas jet is clogged. been sitting? use carb cleaner and clean out jet. the jet is in the carb bowl and has a stem amd needle valve and a float. when you see the float its attached with a small tab to the needle valve. up inside there is the jet a flat head screw driver to remove it. if its clogged clean it also on gas tank there may be a filter in the shut off valve. turn it off position and see if there is a screw underneath to clean filter.
