Re: Bad fuel disposal

Put it in your car. It'll do what Redex was supposed to do. Well it would not be my car as mine's a diesel. I've always thought a bit of two stroke wont hurt but as its not my car I thought I should double check No idea about my reasoning as to why the fuel would work ok in a car and not a scooter ...

Re: Bad fuel disposal

Well four weeks or so is an estimate and the fuel was probably purchased and mixed some time before I last used it. I will bear it in mind. I cant try in the other scooter as I've stripped it down to bear frame for a tidy up over the winter :( I suspect the fuel as the symptoms seem very similar to ...

Bad fuel disposal

Went to take one of scooters for a drive on Sunday after not using it for 4 weeks or so. It wouldn't run more than a few seconds - which is I'm assuming that the fuel has gone off. Tried it with some fuel out of another scoot that's probably of the same age but no joy. Now I have two petrol cans of ...

Re: Flush hydraulic brake system

Flush hydraulic brake system

I'm going to bite the bullet and strip my GP over the winter (will it ever get back together!). So as part of that I want to change the type of hydraulic fluid from the corrosive type to the non corrosive (dot 4 to 5?) I know you should not mix these so I assume I need to flush my old system? If so ...

Re: Plig chop results and odd behavoir

Thanks Adam - I've got Cam Lam Ancillotti copy fitted (the cheaper version) but that does not mean that its not causing the same issue. However I have read within the Scooter Centre set up guide for carbs the exact same description of the issue I have with a suggestion of changing the needle so I wi...
