Is it possible to troubleshoot an electric scooter?
As told earlier, if you can troubleshoot the problem in your electric scooter, getting it fixed won’t be that hard. So, let’s see some of the common issues that you might face with the ride and how you can fix it in the quickest time. There can be various reasons for which this can happen.
What to do if your scooter won’t turn over?
Check your owner’s manual to make sure that you are doing all you need to to complete the electrical circuit which enables it to start. If the scooter doesn’t turn over when you’ve done all the required operations, there’s an electrical problem with the battery. Make sure the battery is charged. If it is, make sure the fuse hasn’t blown.
What to do if choke on scooter wont start?
If the automatic choke is OK, the starter cranks the engine, there’s gas and there’s a spark then there may be an engine problem. You need to check the cylinder compression. You need a compression tester to do this. It screws in instead of the spark plug and measures cylinder pressure.
Why does my scooter not start at 100 psi?
If it’s 100 psi or less there’s likely and engine problem (bad valve, bad piston, failed piston rings) which will need the engine taken apart to find. Probably the most common problems are a dead battery or carburetor problems due to bad adjustment or build up of gummy deposits.
