Many online scooter customers have problems getting the scooter started for the first time. This is due to a number of factors. Firstly, although most scooters are started and tested before shipping, fuel is not put into the tank. This is because a tank that has been used to hold fuel is not legally shippable. They use an external temporary fuel container connected directly to the carburetor. Secondly, there are a number of little things that must be done correctly before the scooter can be started. Here is a checklist:
1. Check the fuel line for connection problems and kinks. Because this is the one part of the system that has not actually been tested before shipping, it is the most likely place for problems and many have difficulties.
2. Fill the gas tank. Gasoline must get through the system for the first time. Apparently, a full tank helps a lot in this process.
3. When starting, the key must be in the start position, the shut-off switch must not be in the shut-off position, and the left brake handle must be depressed. Failure of a scooter to start is overwhelmingly due to one of these three things not being done.
4. If necessary, it is usually possible to use the kick starter.
If your scooter still doesn't start after doing all of the above, check them all again. Then check for presence of spark and fuel or resort to support from the dealer or local mechanic.
