Any idea why my E-Ton Beamer scooter starter relay is clicking with new battery?

by Jeff
(Evansville)




I have an E-Ton Beamer 3 scooter with two problems. The starter relay will just click... is my starter locked up? I know I have a good battery and fuse.

The scooter also falls on its face when trying to accelerate and if I choke it, it gets better. I have drained the gas and bowl all is good. I also checked the jets and both are clean, diaphragm seems to work OK when we put vacuum on the lines. We get plenty of gas; the fuel filter has been changed and air filter cleaned.

I am down to small vacuum leak maybe? What do you think?

Having the same problems and mine is only 2 months old. Have had to constantly choke it, and it is ALWAYS like having a cold start, even if I just rode it yesterday in 90 degree weather!!! I am sorry I bought this. Should have spend more money on a reliable Honda.

Battery Tender Junior in package

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.

Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.

One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.

Attention!

I'm Back!

Yes, I have been noticeably absent from the site the past few months. I recently lost my mother to a long battle with COPD and was subsequently plagued with a bunch of minor health problems. But I'm better now & back full swing.

I had to delete over a hundred questions that had been submitted, some because they were too old for answers to still be valuable and many because they were written in text speak, which I don't accept on the site. PLEASE... use proper capitalization & punctuation, so I can publish your question/review, etc. without editing. Thanks! :)

Wondering why your scooter question never got posted?

Chances are, there is a good reason. Did you...

If you "checked yes" on any of the points above, then I've deleted your post. Sorry, but I have standards. Feel free to re-submit, following the instructions I have everywhere on the site.

Also... all submissions have to be reviewed by me, and that can take a few days sometimes. Comments go live without approval, but still take 30 to 60 minutes to show up, so don't repost them, please.
