I had,nt used my scooter for a while (Puegot Trekker 49cc)and it,s parked in the basement garage of our block of flats.
I thought I better put petrol/oil in as it might have evaporated but inadvertently(Stupidly!) put the petrol/oil in the wrong tank.
For weeks when I tried to start it up it did,nt fire.After a week or two it did start with lots of dirty smoke from the exhaust but would,nt move forward and just cut out when I turned the throttle.I continued to run it just on it,s stand for about 10 mins each day (could,nt run it for longer as the garage started filling with fumes from the exhaust and I thought someone might complain) to try and get rid of the bad mixture.
Two weeks ago I got it started and it was running better and I was able to do circuits of the garage on it and it picked up ok with a fare (not maximum) speed.
However after a few minutes it seems to lose a bit of power and when I open the throttle to near full the engine dies. I can pick it up before it dies completely and it would pick up medium speed again.
Is this something to do still with the bad mix? Other than emptying the petrol/oil tank is there anything else I could do to get the mix back to normal?
Any advice or help greatly appreciated.
Thank You
