I'm having trouble starting my
gas powered scooter.
What is the best way to start it?
Please read our starting guide first. If it still won't
start, you may need to
adjust your carburetor.
Please read the section ‘adjust you carburetor” for
details.
On my scooter when I'm riding it
a lot of the time the chain just
falls off. How do I fix it?
It's usually very easy to fix. There are two reasons
it can happen:
1. If it happened when you were accelerating
it usually happens because the front and
rear sprocket are misaligned. To fix it you
need to remove the engine from the engine
mount, then adjust the engine mount (it can
slide once you loosen the bolts) to get the
sprockets in better alignment. This can be
done by loosening the three bolts on the
bottom of the engine. The idea is to get the
front and rear sprockets aligned in a
straight line.
2. Otherwise you might need to tighten the
chain, but usually the problem is #1. See
“Chain Adjustment Guide”.
What's the purpose of the small
plastic tube that says 40ml on it
that comes with the gas powered
scooter?
40ml is how much two-stroke oil you need to mix
with 1 liter of gas. Please check your scooter's fuel
tank size. This might be how much oil you need
for a full tank. It is usually easier to get a gas tank
that holds a gallon or two and dedicate that to your
two-stroke engine. Then you'll always have gas/oil
mixed and ready.
How do I mix the gas and oil?
How much oil do I put in?
Most of our scooters come with a 1 liter tank,
which means it's just 40ml (one canister) of 2-
stroke oil per tank of gas. Regardless of your tank
size, these instructions will work:
You fill a gas tank with one or two gallons and
leave a little room for oil, then dump in the right
amount of oil and slosh it around to mix it. Some
oils don't require as much as others for proper
lubrication. Follow what the oil bottle directions
instruct for mixing. Here is the basic mixing
formula for a gallon.
Here's how you do the math:
There are 128 oz of gas in a gallon. 1/25th of that
would be: 1/25*128 = 5.12 oz of oil needed.
