Any idea why my Xingyue XY260 t-4 scooter stalls?

by Jennifer
(San Antonio, TX)

I can't figure out why my Xingyue XY260 scooter is stalling and won't stay on when warm... Aftermarket air filter has been installed, so there are no longer any air tubes.


Wasn't starting at all, but have gotten it to run for a minute; as soon as it warms up it acts like we turned the key off. Seems to be electrical. Please can anyone help?

 Anti-Theft Off?
by: Anonymous

Have you turned off the electronic security system?
If you don't have a clicker, you should. If the battery has gone out, replace it. I think your problem might be the anti-theft device.

 Barely a spark, getting hot...
by: Anonymous

Hi Jim,

There is a very weak spark, the new CDI box we installed is getting hot, then it dies. The coil was bad, we replaced that. Valves are fine. We run SeaFoam through it and it runs very well, running well for a short while until it gets hot. We had ordered a stator but were sent the wrong one, so we that is where we are at now, need to try another. Does any of this sound familiar?

Thanks much,

- JM

 Test It
by: Jim Zeiser

Run it with as few panels as you can and when it stall pull the plug and check the spark. Then you will know if you have a fuel issue or an electrical issue. These scooters have vacuum fuel pumps and you could be suffering a vacuum leak, a bad pump or a carburetor problem or a combination of the three. First thing is to check for a good, blue healthy spark.

 Electrical problem??
by: Jennifer

Saw that post, and we have done the valve adjustment; checked and rechechecked. Coil was bad, has been replaced, now leaning toward CDI & stator. Haven't been able to find anything on that with this particular model. Any info on this? Thanks!

 Valves
by: Jim Zeiser

Quite simply, it's time for a valve adjustment. A real job getting the plastic panels off and lining up the timing marks on the Linhai Yamaha motor. There's a thread on how to do it at www.scootdawg.com forum in the do it yourself section.

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.

Read our review or go right to Amazon.com to buy this highly recommended Battery Tender Jr NOW...
