Sadly, there aren't any pure gas places within an hour of where I live.

I will check on the iridium spark plug, though.  I was just hoping this was something I can prevent.  I'll have to look into that Stabil stuff as well.

Technical | How To / Bad gas or what?

I have a concern/question and I'm hoping you fine people on the forum can help.

For the second time now, my Kymco People has decided to sputter and die out on me.  It will start and idle, but giving it gas kills it.  Subsequent attempts only shorten the amount of time it'll run.

I was told by people I had either gotten bad gas or the spark plug was gummed up.  So, the first time it happened, I just replaced the spark plug and put seafoam in the tank and that helped.  I don't mind doing it again, but I'm curious if there's anything that can be done to prevent it from happening a third time.

I've heard someone say it's got something to do with the ethanol they put in gas, but I don't know for sure.  For the record, I always run 93 octane gas in it, but every place I check also has some ethanol in the gas.

Suggestions, comments, solutions?

Ok, for this oil change, I went to the place I got the scooter the guy there sold me what he said would be the best stuff. It's Maxima Premium4 High Performance 4-Cycle Oil SAE 10w-40 Petroleum.

Any thoughts as to this? I haven't put the oil in my bike yet.

Oh, and the same dude said I shouldn't put Synthetic in my scooter, but he talked about the transmission thing and I was under the understanding that wasn't an issue.

Yeah, I did mean to say OIL and not fuel.  My apologies.

I went with the 15w-40 diesel oil today on my oil change.  So far, so good.

:)

So the diesel fuel will also be completely acceptable with my People 150, right?
