Hi all scooter pledges out there.
I have two Tank 150 DE's that I bought a couple of years ago. One has been a treat...I have over 6000 miles on it...only thing I had to do was replace the belt at around 3000. The other one has given me fits. It hasn't ran for the last six months. My wife was backing down the driveway and hit the end a bit hard. The scooter jumped, died and never started again. It has spark and is getting fuel. I checked the connections to see if something might have come loose but they look tight. My wife had a bad habit of starting it with the remote and so I cycled through the remote process thinking a conflict with the starter and remote was occurring. No luck. I am thinking that maybe since it was winter and hadn't been started in awhile that maybe the auto choke was messed up when she hit the bump. Any ideas out there? Do you think the choke might be the issue? Has anyone else had this problem?
