It is definitely frustrating when you can't get your scooter or moped started. The first thing you'll need to do is to narrow down the problem. In order for your gas scooter to start, it really only needs 3 things:
1. Your scooter needs to spark at the correct time. 2. Your engine needs the proper fuel/air mixture and exhaust flow. 3. You need sufficient engine compression.
Top 9 Reasons Why Your Scooter Won't Start:
1. Try depressing the brake handle when starting. 2. The battery has not been charged. 3. The battery is hooked up wrong. This is often the reason for blown fuses. 4. There isn't enough gas or two-stroke oil in the scooter. 5. There is a gas flow problem, especially on the Euro Scooter or Yamaha models. 6. The spark plug wire is not connected. 7. A low battery or bad relay can cause the scooter to only start by using the kick starter. 8. There is no spark to the spark plug. The coil is bad and needs to be replaced. 9. Turn the key to the "on" position.
