Condensation from inside the gas tank has probably made it's way into the carburetor. There is probably a drain screw on the carb float bowl. Drain the bowl, let it refill with gas, then see if the problem has gone away. Also, it may be time for a new spark plug. If none of that works, remove the carb then remove th float bowl from the carb and clean the carb with spray carb cleaner. Spray into every little hole in the carb. Below is a generic diagram. Please rate my answer. Thanks! I start the scooter up - tombones49_70.gif

Has the scoot been setting for more than a couple weeks? If so, you have probably gotten gummed up gas in the carb/Fuel injection.

My tried and true fix for this is Sea Foam, Lucas, or other good carb/injector cleaner, with SeaFoam being my choice. It is a petroleum base, so you can't put too much in. You can add it to your existing fuel. If the bike has been setting up quite awhile, dump a half to full can in the fuel tank, start the bike and run at high idle. after a few minutes, try to accelerate. You may have to run at high idle for awhile to get the SeaFoam into carb good. After ten to fifteen minutes, it should be good enough to let set for several hours. Start bike and try to idle and accelerate.

If after several hours of running and letting it set, if it hasn't done any better, you may have to readjust the idle and air fuel mixture. If that doesn't do it, your carb may need to be torned down and manually cleaned.

Good luck

SOURCE: Fzr 250 Wont rev when cold

Hi!!
Firstly clean the air filter.
and then the carb too needs cleaning.
You can use a good fuel addative to clean the carbs.
There is a YESI a tube that runs upwards from after the carbarator ... if there is any kind of leak in this you will need to change it immediately..
An advice...Pls dont ty to fix any leak on this using any type of solution, it ALWAYS backfires....

SOURCE: 1991 GSXR 750 cutting on low revs

run a can of Seaforam in the tank..purchase from Autozone put in 1/3 to two gallons gas drive it around for at least 10 miles to insure it cleans out the whole carb system.if that doesnt work, check all carb hose fittings when bike is at idle spray some Chemtool B-12 ( also at Autozone) around the carb hoses and manifolds..if idle increses thats your problem. Caution: chemtool is very toxic wear gloves and a mask.

SOURCE: zx6r erratic throttle

Just check on your air ducts. When the bike is staionery it will idle rev and even run well on the dyno, but on the open road the airducts must be in and instadled or mounted correctly

Engine starts and idles fine, but will not rev up (2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.1 diesel auto)

If it was a fuel shortage the engine would rev but to limited speed. This is a lack of air to throttle body. Check for clogged air filter and all the piping and the throttle body.

2009 Piaggio Fly 150 will not idle

There is a plastic knob on the side of the carby that you can adjust to set the idle speed. Start the engine and turn the knob until the idle speed is felt above your throttle setting. Now set the idle speed with no throttle and you feel it is about right ( 500-600 rpm ).

Hi,my scooter has not been started for over a year.only 287 miles on the clock. got it started it idles,but as soon as you rev the throttle it dies. The fuel was very dirty and has now been...

Sounds like the fuel may have become contaminated and solidified in the carburettor, have you removed and cleaned the jets, if the fuel was old then this is a likely cause you may have to fine wire through the jets to clear any obstructions
