I have a Zip 50 2T 1995 EMEA from Piaggio with a Weber 12 OM carburetor.
The scooter had been sitting for a few years in a Garage after it stopped starting.
Now I’ve decided to take it on as a project, and on advice I first took a look at the carburetor.
It was extremely clogged and needed several new gaskets.
So I first soaked it in gasoline for a few days and then scraped it out. However, I only managed to remove most of the buildup.
After reinstalling it, I tried to start the scooter and adjust the screws.
At some point I got it to where, with a strong kick (the battery doesn’t work), it starts, revs up a bit, and then dies again. There’s hardly any smoke, and it sounds like it needs more fuel.
So now the question: how can I adjust the fuel amount, or do you think it could be something else?
And do you need pictures?
