What is the procedure for priming and starting up my 2008 Benelli Andretti 150xt Scooter?
by Bud
(North Carolina)
I recently purchased a 2008 Benelli Andretti 150xt scooter that had been sitting in a garage for quite some time and only has a few miles on it. I was told that I would need to prime the fuel system so the scooter would start up and run once it cranks up, however,the owners/users manual could not be located and I don't know the procedures.
When I turn on the ignition all electrical functions operate, however, when I slide the ignition switch to on and press the starting button nothing at all happens.
I have fully charged the battery and have also taken the starter off and tested it and it operates fine. When I push the starter button all the electrical functions continue to operate (lights, horn, turn signals, instrument gauges, etc.) as if I had not pushed the start button.
Thank You for your time and help in this matter.

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.
