Why doesnt my gas scooter start???

Question

Answer 1

Check the air filter and all the vacuum lines to make sure they are tight.  You may also try cleaning the carb if that doesnt work.

Answer 2

do you have a clean air filter?

Answer 3

several things may be wrong check air filter choke may be stuck    throttle cable may be sticking  transmission clutch may be sticking

Answer 4

Is it a new scooter or an older one?  

Automatic trans or standard shift transmission

A lot depends on these factors - plus what others have said -

clogged fuel filters -

No gas in tank

Old gas in tank - when was the last time the scooter was used?  If it was months ago, there may be water in the fuel lines

If uses a clutch - may be no oil in the fuel mix - check the lines -

In other words, the best thing you can do is -

get out your Scooter's Instruction Book and read it - it should give you all the answers you need.

If you don't have the book - go to the manufacturer's website and check for the model and see if you can call up a booklet.

good luck,
