Sno Scoot trouble shooting
Any thoughts on why my sno scoot will start and run for about 50 feet and then suddenly just die, but if left for awhile it will restart and run for another 50 feet. It's acting as if it's not getting fuel, but I have cleaned the carb and changed the fuel filter. What symptoms would I encounter if it is the fuel pump? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
Will the scoot run with enrich cable up(on)? If it does, the carb may still be dirty, one small piece of dirt can make this happen. But this also "indicates" that the fuel pump is working or at least some what functional. Take out all three jets, and make sure you can see light through their openings, spray carb clean in passages with jets removed and make sure it sprays out (through the passsage). Also the black plug that goes in one the holes of the carb...make sure it is in the correct hole. Some scoots had added on filter by fuel shut off, make sure the filter in tank has also been checked. Check the vaccuum lines that run to fuel pump, check for hardness and cracks, replace if in doubt of condition.
