goped scooter

[stoney2677]

Wondering if anyone is familiar with gopeds or knows a shop that deals with them. I have one i just can't get running correctly. Finally got it running but it stalls out when i give it gas. Before i break the whole motor down to replace gaskets thought someone might have an idea. Gaskets from filter to intake have been replaced already. Case and head gaskets have not. Been messing with the carb adjustments but that doesn't work. Definately see gas going to the carb and fuel filter is clean. Thanks in advance.

take carb bowl off and clean carb out, spray brake cleaner or carb cleaner through all passageways adn make sure the pilot jet isn't clogged (should be a jet or tube right next to main)

Its most likely with the carb like Curt said. The ethanol is rough on them.

like the others said, you can go as far as soaking it in gas for a while then blowing it out with an air compressor as well

well finally was riding today. went for a few short spins then someone else got on, went over a bump and the plug came loose. after that couldn't get it started but i think i may be too rich and flooding the engine. gonna try leaning it out a bit tomorrow and see.
