Why does my fuel gauge not read on "full" when I have filled the tank?

by Brad

I have a Peace scooter with a 50cc motor and when I have filled the tank it only reads 1/4 of a tank. I have shaken the scooter side to side and still no luck. Any solutions?

Get a permanent marker and draw your own line in while the scooter is on it's center stand.

,,,i'm kind of kidding,,,

I'm no mechanic, but with the little issues,,,i want to reaffirm that you shouldn't let them bother you,,,being that we have both bought chinese scooters,,,the old saying goes, "you get what you pay for".

If this makes you feel any better,,,my speedometer is 5mph optimistic. So when the speed limit is 40,,,i actually have to go to 45 on my scooter,,,when it's 25, i have to go 30, etc.

God Bless you, and scoot safe,

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.

I appreciate everyone's contributions over the past few years and I apologize for having to do this.

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.
