1st post here, and I’ll post a video explanation to YouTube that I will link as well.
Bought a non-runner with seized motor, bought a donor motor from a GY6 swap on FB. Got the scooter running! Yay! Now trying to make it good.
I am hoping to make it like a great stock bike again.
Issues:
- Hard to start with cold motor
- Only starts with a specific amount of throttle (~15%)
- Won’t want to move until engine is warm. If throttle isn’t held at 15% spot, it will die. Even then, takes some crafty feeling and throttle work to get it to rev up. And have to keep the throttle going > 40% for maybe another 2 min (or 2 min ride) or it will die again.
I appreciate any insight into where I may start to look, or what to do. I have access to a digital manual.
Research has lead me to potentially look at idle adjustment and possible a bad auto choke, but want to know if anyone else has any thoughts. I do have access to a few parts from a donor motor and frame, and will update you as I progress. Thank you in advance.
