zx50 / Problems- Wont stay running
« on: September 14, 2010, 02:07:01 PM »
I have 2003 ZX50 with 2200 Kilomters.
Here is the deal. I bought scooter 1 year ago and ran fine for a couple months. It would run great and then just die on the road. I would would wait 20 minutes and it would start again and run for 10 minute and dye. So 2 weeks ago, I finally put in shop. Shop replace spark plug and fuel filter. Fuel filter was very dirty. I ran scooter last night. Drove great until about 45 minutes later it died. Had to wait about 10 minutes, started right back up, drove another 10 minutes to apartment and died again. So here is my question. is it possible there is still some debri in gas tank that is clogging filter and as the scooter runs, it agitates the debris in tank?? I am planning to emptying gas through coffee filter to see if gas is dirty. But I don't how to get to filter. Does filter have replacement cartridges or just need a new filter all together?
Any advice would be great as I love the scooter.
