My new to me 05 BW 250
« on: December 24, 2016, 07:34:14 PM »
Hi guys. Recently purchased an 05 BW 250 that appears to have a fuel issue. It was recommended that I test the gas cap for pressurization issues. I want to also change the fuel filter and drain the gas tank as this scooter appears to have sat up for long periods. What is the recommended filter and where to buy and where is it located. Thanks guys. Can I use one from auto parts store?

Should find the filter listed here, someplace (or try a different "assembly") with a drawing of its location.

The filter costs 16.00 and they want 25 bucks for shipping. Surely there's a cheaper alternative? Thanks Tom. Do you guys use OEM fuel filters or are there others that work?

Thanks Tom, yep lots of filters available on eBay. Found some for the 250cc Venox real cheap and wondered how important it is to use OEM vs others filters that fit a range of scooters from 150-500cc?

auto parts for fuel filter is good as long as you get the hose size, and ask for fine screening filter ,  look up yager 200 and see what he found,.  we have a over achiever on board ,  what he has done to his scooter , out of this world,.

Took another look at the BW yesterday and 2 others too to figure out why the new carb is stumbling upon acceleration. Nothing we did changed anything as it has me at my wit's end so will have to throw in the towel and find a bike shop that can work on it. Unfortunately no Kymco dealers here in Texas. I kinda regret buying this bike now.

Really clean bike, for it's year Dan. Carb. probably needs cleaning if she's been laid up a lot.

Mac, installed a new OEM carb right out of the box but it runs worse than the original. Found a Kymco dealer in Houston about 3 hours away that I'll most likely trailer it down to for repair.

Could be several other things, but taking  her to the shop is probably the best idea. Good luck Dan.
Let us know what they come up with.   Mac

In the morning I'm driving 150 miles south to Houston to drop the BW off at a Kymco dealer for repair. Hopefully they'll be able to sort it out and I can start riding it again. Weather here in East Texas is picture perfect with temps 70-80 everyday and bikes are to be seen all over. Forget winter as Spring is in the air and everything is in bloom. Can't wait to get it back and already contemplating a new summer windscreen.

Up early this morning as bike is loaded on trailer as Deb and I  grab some Java and head south to Houston with the scooter. Chilly morning in the 30's as I'm glad my truck has heat. Kinda excited about getting my sick lil baby fixed and tearing up the streets with some hooliganism.
