Scooters - 125 to 300 > Movie 150
2013 Movie 150 Dies when coming to a stop and will not restart
Reycuda:
Hi Everyone!
I just got a Movie 150 that had been sitting for over a year. I plugged in a new battery and the little scooter started right up and idled like a champ, but after some driving around (maybe 10 miles) the scooter now dies when coming to a stop and will sometimes restart, but it does not want to idle when I come to a stop. When it does restart it will idle, but it dies when I give it some gas. I find it odd that it does want to idle when it finally starts, but dies when I give it gas to take off. It also sometimes just cranks and cranks, but no start. It has about 3600 miles and for the most part seems to have been taken care of. Oil is clean, air filter looks new and the plug also looks great.
I have now drained the fuel and topped off with fresh fuel. I took the carburetor apart to check the jets and float level, all checked good. Jets were very clean, but I went ahead and dipped the carb for 4 hours in a bath of Berryman Chem-dip twice. Fuel filter is not plugged and the float bowl has fuel when I have drained it a few times thinking I had bad gas. I also checked the fuel pump by applying vacuum and it is working.
I am thinking that maybe the TPS needs to be adjusted or synced. My questions are,
1. Where is the mix screw and
2. How do I sync the throttle position sensor?
I appreciate anyone's advise on this nice little bike and what I should do as maintenance at this point. It's 8 years old and has 3600 miles.
Thank you,
Rey

then depends what kind of carb you have on your scoot.
Pilot screw is usually on the LH side horizontal or LH side from top down.
My suspicion would be, after cleaning the carb again and airblow all tubes, a leak in your vacuum hoses or a leaky intake flange. There is an O-ring which hardens sometimes.
Airfilter renewal or at least inspection. Sparkplug nenewal or checking.Sparkplug cap new?
But IMO, when the scoot already ran properly, it's mostly a fuel case. Take the fuel line off and check during cranking.
Maybe this link helps too

Give us a feedback if possible.
Iahawk:
not positive if this will work for your scoot but here's the tps reset instructions for my S200..
*tps reset - with key off, open throttle all the way. turn on the key, wait 8-10 seconds. slowly close the throttle and turn the key off
Ruffus gave you lots of good suggestions..but my 'go to' when I hear that it idles but dies when you give it gas is a clogged pilot jet. I have had to pull my pilot jet and clean it multiple times..I finally bought a few new replacements so I always have a clean backup. I don't put a lot of miles on my scoot.
Reycuda:
I cannot figure out how to reduce the size of the picture so I can post, BUT I'll try the TPS reset provided Iahawk and see if I can get it to fire.
Numbers on the side of the carb are :
120723
102534
Kymco
Taiwan
8
Other side I see "LFB5"
Mixing screw is on the left side from top to bottom like Ruffus mentioned in his response.
Could this scooter also have a spark issue? Even though I checked for spark, could it be intermittent?
Ruffus:
@Rey,
-pilot screw, consists of 4 parts
needlescrew itself/ spring coil/ little washer/ o-ring
IF this needlenose tip is demaged, no idle
IF no O-ring, no idle
All parts there, screw gentle full in, then 2 1/2 turns out for basic adjustment.
-pilot screw out to highest idle
-adjusting screw down to 1800 rpm
Testing leaks, spray brake cleaner around the carb and vacuum lines.
Yes, there could be a spark issue, take gloves and wiggle your sparkplug and cable.
I'm still.towards clogged carb, because I had the same on my GD 150 carb and could (despite hot ultra sound cleaning of the body/ everything dissambled) NOT fix it again, so I took an €41,-aftermarked KEIHIN carb and prob's solved.
