What is the name of the elec switch that goes into the carb? With a new carb on, I can't get the scoot to run. If I put idle at 3500rpm , and adjust the mix screw, it works great. S soon as I adjust the idle screw to 1800rpm, then give it gas it dies. Can this elec switch be the problem?
This switch has a plunger that goes into the carb then you put the collar on it and secure it with two screws. HELP!!

its called the enricher
it helps the flow of fuel when cold starting for about 5 mins
after starting , watch your tach, after the idle starts falling that means the enricher is disengaging and should get back to the normal idle speed
then you can adjust your idle screw
hope this helps

Thanks for the info snugglebunny. I've been fighting this bogging down problem for 4 months. I'd like to purchase a better more powerful scooter, but I can't move forward till I get this monster running. I'll be back in the garage today attacking it with a friend. Temp in the 70s, no wind, sunshine. It should be a great scooter day. Like your cartoon also.

You could also have a paritally plugged idle jet in the carb

Can I remove the idle and mixture valves, spray carb cleaner in the hole and reassemble?

Do this turn the FUEL RATIO screw CLOCKWISE until it stops and then turn it out 2 1/2 turns and start it and let it warm up at least 5 minutes.
Then adjust the Fuel Ratio Mixture to get the highest idle out the mixture screw.
First from the 2 1/2 that you turned it out TURN IT 1/4 CLOCKWISE and LISTEN for the IDLE(RPMS) if they go REPEAT until the IDLE(RPMS) start to drop or do nothing. THEN TURN IT COUNTER CLOCKWISE 1/8 .
IF ON THE FIRST 1/4 CLOCKWISE the IDLE(RPMS) drop or do nothing TURN IT COUNTER CLOCKWISE 1/4 at a time and SEE if the IDLE(RPMS) go up and again if they go up REPEAT until they start to drop or do nothing and then TURN IT CLOCKWISE 1/8.
IF TURNING IT IN EITHER DIRECTION IT DOES NOTHING FOR THE IDLE(RPMS) then yes you shoud clean your PILOT JET AND PASSAGE.
If they do go up and you found the HIGHEST IDLE(RPMS) setting from the MIXTURE then check your REAR WHEEL if it is SPINNING lower the IDLE using the IDLE SPEED SCREW until the REAR WHEEL JUst barely wants to turn.
