hey guys I'm in need of some help. i know nothing about motors and gas power stuff so here my problem.. i have a scooter ( will post pictures later )
the start button don't work so i been using the remote to start it everything fine til last night i went to start it. sounded really weak so i let it run a bit and warm up. went for my drive when i came back turn it off i tried starting again it sounded very weak and didn't start
-cant kick start idk it stuck jam don't know just wont work
- just put in a new spark plug last week
-and went got battery checked it new nothing wrong strong as can be
any ideas what might be causing this please help thanks ahead of time

o... when i pulled apart the thing under seat with the air filter.. it semi clean and there hard black stuff inside ( not on filter) then near the wall it green stuff ( smells like gas..) so idk if that helps please help

is there old gas in it? maybe clean the carburetor.
Is the green stuff coolant? put some seafoam in the gas tank?
Its really hard to say without a picture of the motor and a better description.

im trying upload pictures and sound clips as for old gas no i owned it for last 2 yrs empty the tank last month been using good gas 90 or above like the sticker says the green what ever it is smells like gas nobody as touched it at lease with out me knowing. and it was running fine until this happened

Year, make, model? Transmission type? Clutch, automatic? 2 stroke or 4 stroke? ...???

sorry guys pointless topic here
turns out the green wire ( i was told it a ground wire ) was ripped off it's clam thing sorry

if the filter is foam the green stuff might be oil to trap dirt it might have hadend up

I think I need some help too with my sons mini dirt bike... ( 2 stroke)

I filed out the exhaust so gas now flows through as smooth as can be and it revs like crazy now...
It had a welding burr on it earlier wich restricted flow...

I hate flow restriction..
I also made my own ( large volume) muffler for it, spudgun style..
This gave it more power, as the expansion tube now works like it should...

Spudgunning surely has helped me understand engines, flow, combustion, the importance of fuel mixture, pressure etcetera..

So...can someone help me get an astronaut suit for my kid.??..this thing is a missile now...

But as always..You've got to get that bigger piston!!

I've had something similar happen. does your gas tank have a vent? do you know what a vent is? My dirtbike's gas tank vent was sealed and created a suction and would let gas into the carb (thing that makes gas go in piston to go boom! and spin the engines shaft). If your vent is sealed it usually won't run but my bike ran for a good 30-45 minutes and then it would get real weak and stop. then it wouldn't start. so i would let it sit and then i'd start it back up again.

EDIT: woops just saw this post was pointless and has ended.
