How long time to "dry" the scooter in warm garage?
« on: December 16, 2020, 04:34:01 PM »
Like 50 4T did not fire up today. +5 c warm, but air humidity 93 % I think is too wet for basic setting fourstroke.
 I moved the scooter to warm + 20 c bike garage.
Do you think, that 18 hours is enough in warm dry place, I thought I try again tomorrow noon. Or should it be there longer to have summer condition when fires up immediatly?
I didnt empty the battery although I tried six long starts for nothing.
 Thanks and stay dry  8)

Sorry, I don't know much about your LIKE 50 4T
What year is your scooter, and does it have electronic fuel injection?

IF it has EFI - it should start near-instantly in all temps or weather!
Is kill switch on or off?

It is year 2011, 17 tkm driven, and has basic carburator. No kill switch in this model. Gasoline is fresh 4T small engine gas. When humidity is max around 75 % and temp above zero celsius, fires up easily. Below those needs several 5 second starts. Now nothing, too wet.
Ah, bummer.
Is the thermo-helper (by-starter, choke) working?
Hope a fellow 4T owner will jump in here for you.
Good luck!

Do you think it was the high humidity which caused the starting problem?

Is your machine all factory original? (carburetor, air box, etc.)
