Just taken my scooter out of the garage. Its been sitting for 6 years. The battery was useless, had to buy a new one. Im going to attempt to drain the fuel out tomorrow and change the oil
Hello my friend wow 6 years thank you for watching my video
Thanks brother 🙏 I am from king Dom of Bahrain
Hello my friend thank you for watching my video
Thank you this is very informative I have a new moped well it's a Honda CT70 clone, I put vinegar in the gas tank to kill any rust but I removed the fuel lines to the petcock still nothing is coming out? I blew inside the gas tank and I sucked on the fuel line no homo still nothing! Also another question when storing for the winter what if I drain fuel tank and then run the motorcycle to burn the fuel in carburetor instead of draining carburetor?
Hello yes you can burn the fuel that way instead of draining carburetor . Thank you for watching my video
Thanks for the video. Im replacing fuel lines and need this. Where did you get that switch? do you have a link? does it ever leak? Im having a hard time finding one that will bolt on that has decent reviews. I love the seat cover. I hope you made a video for it, I'll go searching you vids now.
Hello Dylan I buy the Fuel Tank Valve Switch on Amazon amzn.to/36g9gJv no never leak and here czcams.com/video/S2aDN6vst-c/video.html I have my video for the seat cover thank you for watching my video and be safe
Hi Thks four your video my scooter 50cc is start today petrol caming out from the tank breather hose whitch reason thank you so much
Hello and thank you for watching my video
If Petrol leaking from the tank breather hose on your 50cc scooter could be due to:
Overfilling: Ensure you didn't overfill the tank.
Blocked hose: Check for any obstructions or kinks in the breather hose.
Faulty fuel cap: Inspect the cap for damage; it may not be venting properly.
Fuel system issues: There could be problems with the carburetor float or fuel pump.
Address these issues systematically, starting with checking the fuel level and hose, and seek professional help if needed.
Can this also fix a flooded engine? My scooter was started in the cold too many times, flooding it. Now I wonder if emptying the carburetor will be enough to fix the problem. (The scooter does not have a kickstart, so i dont know how to fix it without one).
Love your videos btw! Great easy to follow explenations
Hello my friend if the motor is flooded remove the spark plug and start the scooter without the plug and the extra fuel that is inside the chamber of combustion will come out than clean the sparkplug and put it back and start the scooter
@@VirberelloScooterTips ahh I didnt know you could do that without a kickstart, thank you so much!!! Will be watching a lot more videos :D thanks again and happy holidays ❤️
I accidentally put too much gas and theres a little bit of gas barely passing to the gas filter but before it used to be full. It it supposed to have a little or full of gas? I think i made a vacuum when putting to much gas and it doesn't really full the gas filter
i was new to scooters and didnt drain my fuel over the winter in the uk and we have had a pretty wet and cold one. i went to start it today and its not fireing its trying to but wont.
do you think if i drain the fuel and carb cable and fill with new fuel i maybe ok.
the spark plug is sparking and air filter is clean.
battery is on charge now too to see if theres enough charge as it was a new battery.
Based on the symptoms you described, it's possible that the fuel in your scooter may have degraded over the winter due to moisture and temperature fluctuations, leading to difficulties in starting the engine. Here's what you can try:
Drain the old fuel: If the fuel has been sitting for a long time, it may have deteriorated. Drain the old fuel completely from the fuel tank and also consider draining the carburetor to ensure no old fuel remains in the system.
Check the carburetor: Even if you drain the fuel, there might still be residue or clogs in the carburetor. Cleaning the carburetor thoroughly can help ensure proper fuel delivery to the engine.
Replace with fresh fuel: After draining the old fuel, fill the tank with fresh, high-quality fuel. This will help ensure optimal engine performance.
Check the battery: Since you mentioned that you're charging the battery, make sure it has enough charge to effectively start the engine. A weak battery can sometimes prevent the engine from starting even if everything else seems fine.
Inspect the spark plug: While you mentioned that the spark plug is sparking, it's still a good idea to inspect it for any signs of fouling or damage. If the spark plug looks worn or dirty, consider replacing it with a new one.
Check for other issues: If the scooter still doesn't start after performing the above steps, there may be other underlying issues such as ignition system problems or mechanical issues. In such cases, it might be best to consult a professional mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.
By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and hopefully resolve the starting issue with your scooter.
Thank you for watching my video
@@VirberelloScooterTips thank you so much for the tips.
The spark plug seems all good and still like new.
The starter motor is new
The battery I charged last night and was full this morning and it's depleted again which could mean the battery.
I'll drain the fuel this week and from carb.
You mentioned about the carb I wouldn't know how to clean that and get rid of any clogs I'm a complete newbie I was hoping draining the fuel and carb and put fresh fuel in it may flush it out
just ordered a battery as well as the one i had i think as gone bad ill try it if that fails and draining the fuel and carb and still doesnt work then i dont know. i did hear a loud rattling noise but thats gone i hope i havnt damaged anything but the noise went once i left it trying to fire it up.@@VirberelloScooterTips
Mister if I add some oil(2stroke) to the fuel in my gy6 tank (minimize my consomation of fuel) what's gonna be happen?,other question, what is the normal consomation of fuel for a 125 cc gy6 Chinamoto in 100 km ? Your Tunisian friend☺️
Hello if you place little oil is not bad but you will lose power and your sparkplug will get dirty from the oil and will build more carbon in top of the piston in a long way, so oil is not to good for a 150cc to mix with the fuel
Hi Virberello, I left my scooter in the rain and the fuel cap was loose, will draining the fuel like what you did in the video fix my scooter from not starting?
Hello Sam yes that will help if the rain went inside the fuel tank is better to drain everything and let the tank dry before you place new fuel . Thank you for watching my video
Brother i have a question i let my scooter sit for a year with gas and in it 😢 in now the inside of my gas tank a little rusty do i have to remove the tank to clean out the rust or can i clean it out without removing the tank with vinegar and baking soda please help
Hey there! I appreciate your question. Rust in the gas tank can definitely be a hassle, but there are a few methods you can try to clean it out without necessarily removing the tank.
Using a mixture of vinegar and baking soda can be effective in removing rust. Here's what you can do:
Drain the old gas from the tank. Keep the fuel tank disconnect from your fuel system and plug the lower tank fuel nipple
Mix equal parts vinegar and water in a container large enough to submerge the gas tank.
Pour the mixture into the tank, ensuring that it covers the rusted areas completely.
Let it sit for several hours or overnight to allow the vinegar to dissolve the rust.
After soaking, rinse the tank thoroughly with water to remove any remaining vinegar solution.
Next, create a paste using baking soda and water. Apply this paste to the rusted areas and scrub gently with a brush or sponge.
Rinse the tank again with water to remove the baking soda paste.
Finally, dry the tank thoroughly to prevent further rusting.
This method might take some time and effort, but it can be effective in removing rust without having to remove the tank. However, if the rust is severe or if you're unsure about the effectiveness of this method, it might be best to consult a professional or consider removing the tank for a more thorough cleaning.
Remember to also inspect your fuel system and replace any filters or components that may have been affected by the rust. And in the future, it's a good idea to store your scooter with an empty tank or use a fuel stabilizer if it will be sitting for an extended period. Good luck, and I hope your scooter is back in top shape soon! and thank you for watching my video
I want to change my fuel lines and vacuum lines, do you know the sizes and how long I need to buy from each size??
Hello I like the clear hose line from Home Depot 6mm or 1/4 inches size you will need around 6ft or you can buy on amazon Polyurethane Fuel Gas Line Tubing Hose 1/4 inch amzn.to/36CoGId Thank you for watching my video
@@VirberelloScooterTips thanks for answering, what about vacuum lines? Same diameter??
Hi, Virberello. And why don't you remove the side cover instead of the inside bucket? I have a Honda SH300i 2011.
Ah ah ah good question removing the bucket is easier and faster and the side cover plastic they are easier to break see the quality on this scooter is not great nothing like you have a honda that is a lot better in quality grade of the plastic
@@VirberelloScooterTips I saw that in another video. I removed the bucket today and is easier
than removing the side covers. Thanks.
My friend put 1Ltr😂 2stroke oil in the Fuel tank instead of 2T tank. Now the scooter is not starting and its giving a lot of smoke when we try to start. Can you please suggest what to do? Its Zoot 50Cc 2stroke scooter.
Oh no! It seems like your friend made a mistake by putting 1 liter of 2-stroke oil in the fuel tank instead of the designated 2T tank. The excess oil in the fuel can cause starting issues and excessive smoke. Here are a few steps you can take to address the situation:
Drain the fuel tank: Carefully drain the fuel tank to remove the oil-fuel mixture. You can use a siphon or a drain plug if your scooter has one. Make sure to collect the mixture in a suitable container for proper disposal.
Clean the carburetor: Since the oil has likely passed through the fuel system, it's a good idea to clean the carburetor. Disassemble the carburetor and clean all the components thoroughly using an appropriate carburetor cleaner. Pay special attention to the jets and passages to ensure they are clear of any oil residue.
Check the spark plug: Remove the spark plug and inspect it for fouling. If it's heavily coated with oil, clean or replace it as necessary. A fouled spark plug can hinder starting and cause poor combustion.
Refill with proper fuel mixture: Once the fuel tank is drained and the carburetor is cleaned, refill the fuel tank with the correct fuel mixture. The Zoot 50cc 2-stroke scooter requires a specific fuel-to-oil ratio. Consult the scooter's manual or contact the manufacturer for the appropriate ratio and use a measuring container to ensure accuracy.
Start the scooter: After everything is properly reassembled, try starting the scooter. It may take a few attempts for the excess oil to clear out of the system. If the scooter still doesn't start or continues to emit excessive smoke, it's best to seek professional assistance from a mechanic or a scooter dealership.
Remember to always be cautious and follow safety guidelines when working with flammable substances and scooter components. Thank you for watching my video
My scooter has a drain screw at the end of a tube coming from the carburetor. Every so often it vibrates loose and I start leaking fuel. It doesn’t stop leaking until my tank is dry if I don’t catch it. Is there a better drain for this. My scooter is a Tao Lancer 150 if that matters.
Love the videos. I have learned so much. I am planning a bunch of upgrade based on your videos. I am in Arizona and ride all year. I was also wondering if there is an oil cooler you recommend?
Hello Vincent place a touch of tread lock at the screw when is dry so hopefully will not get loose I'm not a big fan of oil cooler for these scooters because the oil pump is so small and will not have lots of pressure to run the motor oil everywhere but one day I will buy and test one thank you for watching my video
@@VirberelloScooterTips any way to help keep my engine cool will help. I will be putting on the air scoop and cold air filter but we have many 100+ degree days here. Not as bad as it sounds but I still want to do what I can to keep my scooter running longer. Looking forward to more videos.
I don’t have the tools to get to the fuel tank so if I just drain the carb n keep twisting the throttle so it fills up again will it drain the tank?
Hello Scampi if the motor is off the fuel valve is close so you not drain the tank from the carb unless you have a manual fuel switch that aloud the gas to flow freely to the carb
@@VirberelloScooterTips thanks for the information
What about ethanol free gas from quiktrip?
Hello Don Soprano ethanol free gas is a lot better
@@VirberelloScooterTips thank you sir
i think something is wrong with my fuel system. the first time I fueled it up it cost me $4 now all of a sudden 50 cents is too much lol so maybe if I drain the tank and refuel it maybe it will work right.
I put Diesel gas in my moped and it won't start any suggestions
Hello Bosco you need to empty the fuel tank flash the carburetor and remove the spark plug and turn the scooter on without the spark plug so the diesel fuel will come out from there after that place new fuel with high octane like premium place back the the spark plug and turn on your scooter
I left gas in my Yamaha Zumba 50cc for 10 years what do I need too clean
Hello my friend that is long time ah ah ah anyway you need to clean the tank the petcock valve / fuel valve and the carburetor and I will change the fuel lines so you can be safe
Just got my air filter soaked now my bike wont start do i changed the oil whats next
Hello the best way to clean the stock filter is with compressed air now if you soaked with anythingelse you need to buy a new filter try to start the scooter without the filter and if is working just place a large sponge for now inide filter box until you order a new filter
Sryy took so long so i changed the spark plug an the carburater scooter still wont start i have 50 cc express battery dead now so i cant move forword wont kick start i took the spark plug back out had oil all over it brand new
I put bad gas in my scooter and it was running for 5 mins before it just cut off and won't start...with this method will it start my bike
No bueno my friend now you have to empty the tank change the fuel filter clean the carburator and remove the spark plug clean that and run the motor without the spark plug for 1 to 2 minutes so any bad gas that is inside will go away
What if when I remove hose from petcock connecting to fuel tank and little fuel comes out but there's still a half tank?? Plz halp
Hello if you remove the hose at the petcock that comes from the tank fuel will flow out from the tank
@@VirberelloScooterTips it would not for me for some reason. I had to use a suction gun. My buddy thinks the lines might be clogged. I'm thinking it's a clogged carburator. Maybe both? How do I clean and clear the fuel hoses, or should I just replace them? Thx
@@auginater4200 Hello my friend the best way is to replace the hose because after long time the hose get damaged by the ethanol that is in the fuel
@@VirberelloScooterTips thank you much my friend. I'll let you know when I get er started 😎
Greetings. I drained my tank now gas is not passing the vacum pump. What should I do.....?
Hello you have a pump on GY6 ? fuel valve or petcock is that what you like to say ? anyway if the fuel is not passing the fuel valve you need to check the vacuum line the petcock only open when the motor is starting and making a vacuum suction on fuel valve or sometime spray a little carburetor cleaner inside the fuel valve petcock can help but put Eye protection because that spray is not to frendly
There was fuel leaking underneath scooter so just wanted to remove he bonnet and turn off the valve. One screw was rusted so bad, couldn't remove it or the bonnet. Epic Fail.
Hello my friend thank you for watching my video
Who leaves their scooter sit for the winter? I ride all year long, rain 🌧️ or snow 🌨️
