Snoscoot carb.

[BradT]

Does anyone know what the float settings are for a 1989 80ccc snoscoot. Went through the carb and it is as clean as possible, took a guess at the float level but it is just dumping fuel into the cylinder. Run great for about ten seconds and then bogs down and dies. Any information would be appreciated.

Make sure the black rubber plug is installed, it covers the pilot jet (located right next to main jet). If it's not it will draw too much fuel and cause the probs you are having.

Hope this helps

Here are a few usual suspects:

Change the in-tank fuel filter....they are old and made of paper and disintegrate, sending pieces of paper through the fuel line right into your carb. So you clean your carb, everything looks cool, reinstall, fire it up and in a few minutes, you're right back to where you were before.

Check needle and seat....most scoots have enough hours on them to have ridden to Alpha Centuri and back, twice, and these carb parts are usually way worn.

Check/lube your choke cable... sometimes it will stick 'on' even though the choke lever is down or off.

These are some of the quick and dirty ones. Let us know how it goes. Also, there are some really good scoot/sport threads over on mercurysnowmobiles.com

Good luck!
