  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Here is my problem. My daughter's Dinli 50 starts fine and runs like nutts wide open but when you come to a stop the motor stalls and is hard to start. If you plug the intake with your thumb the motor picks right up and off you go. So I am assuming that there is a carb problem and if I can fix this myself I will. The plug is clean. I adjusted the mixture setting and that did nothing. I took the air filter off and it still ran like that. Fires up and takes off, I can rip around the yard all day long with it but as soon as I stop, it "chokes out". As it is choking out if you thumb the air intake it will come back to life. This is a little 50cc engine with a cvt tranny. I posted this on a few atv websites but no response.
 
It sounds like it's too lean, and not actually "choking out". It needs fuel to run at an idle, so why not clean out the idle circuit passages?(just a suggestion).
 
x2 on the running lean, might wanna clean tjhe carbs out and then mess with the mixture, might have to change jets or one might be a lil blocked
 
If you haven't modified the engine/exhaust at all then you shouldn't need to change a jet. I bet it's just dirty. Take it apart and clean everything really well, then reassemble and try it out. Replace any seals or gaskeets that need it. Maybe there is an air leak between the carb and the engine. Is there a rubber boot that connects the two? If it's cracked it will cause a lean condition at idle. If it once ran well then it must be able to do so again.

I'm going to vote "against the grain" here but,from what you've stated, it sounds to me like it's running rich or there is a problem with the fuel / :oil ratio. Time to clean the carb...and replace the air filter. Maybe a new plug... ;)

Put a new correctly gapped plug in it and pull the air filter out and run it around the yard a little. If it is lean once things are hot...it will make the problem worse. If rich, it will run better...time to ride! :D
 
is the fuel\oil ratio correct?
too much oil will make for a Lean condition
despite the logic of some more lube is not better the proper ration is what yah need for smooth running

Sorry, Dave, I'm going to have to veto your vote and say that it's running lean on the idle circuit.
'Thumbing' the intake is the same as choking it to get it to suck more fuel, same as the old butterfly-style chokes.

My money is on something that is stuck in the idle jet.

How old is this thing. Could it be sucking air at the crankcase seals.
 
I am a scooter mechanic...no laughing. It sounds like a clogged idle jet, it's common. Unless this is a vintage machine, that is going to be your issue.
 
it is only 3 years old. I will start with a new plug and see what that does/
 
The new ones are more prone to clog the jets from sitting over the winter and whatnot. Most of the time it is pretty easy to get at the carb, and real easy to clean.
 
My vote: clogged idle circuit...running lean.

I don't know if you pre-mix your fuel but keep in mind that adding too much oil to the mixture will also "lean out" the final mix.

Does the machine require pre-mix or does it have a seperate oil tank & pump?
 
I know of no modern scoots that require premix. The 80's ushered in an era of relatively fault free oil pumps.

Dam_ Steve...ya threw the "Judge

Ito" at me.
Alright theny...the lean's have it.

;)
 
Have to pull the carb off to clean it then? I know enough about carbs to be dangerous, although I did fix my lawnmower and weed wacker without knowing what I was looking at. Sometimes things just work like that. I bought a new plug today.
 
new plug, same problem. Do I have to pull the carb off then to clean it? What am I cleaning anyway?
