sno scoot will run with pilot jet screwed in
does anyone know why this happens,i have 4 scoots and they all die if the pilot jet is screwed in all the way but this one scoot makes no difference,it also is hard to start when it sits for 5 minutes after running,you have to crank it over with full throttle to fire it seems like its flooding.I have replaced the needle/seat ,carb is clean and float height is correct.I am an experienced mechanic but this one baffles me,please help thanks.Steve

I have one that has been finicky as well. I took out 3 of the jets cleaned and blew out with air compressor and it still wouldn't stay started. Plug was getting wet with a couple kicks. I switched carbs from my other scoot and the one that wasn't starting, worked great on the other sled, so I started to adjust the choke cable. Finally, it seems to allow it to start with one kick - still need to get it out and run it for awhile before I get my confidence back. the choke adjustment is close to all the way down (not many threads showing). I would suggest adjusting the choke cable and drying your plug in between attempts at starting. Hope this helps!
