So I'm at a loss with my 07/08 xciting 250.
Since I've bought it last month I've only been able to wrench in it. The person I bought it from said that it wasn't charging the battery and it's been sitting.
When I brought it home I did the standard tune up stuff : new oil, plug, air filter, cleaned the carb and jets. When trying to to run it, the scooter runs for a while - ,maybe 3 or 4 minutes then it dies. Sooner if I try to give it throttle. After it dies it is a hard start and when it does it runs really rough and will only run for a minute.
Any who those are the symptoms...
Then I started testing the charging system. Reg/rectifier tested good, but the stator didn't.
So I bought a new stator, installed it, started to refill the fluids, and noticed the water pump mechanical seal was leaking so I replaced that as well.
I get it back together and it is running the exact same.
I double checked that the new stator was good, checked the reg/rectifier again, cleaned the carb again, checked the fuel pump and filter for good flow.
Can any of you suggest something else to check? Like I said I'm at a loss as to what to do with the scooter.
