Why won't my E-ton 2002 Beamer scooter start?

by Howell
(Michigan)

I have an E-ton 2002 Beamer scooter that won't start. It has good spark, getting plenty of gas to the spark plug. It has good compression, battery is holding a good charge. It turns over good, but just won't try to fire up.


What else should I be looking for?

If it has a automatic choke you might hafto take off the air filter and hand choke it.I had the same problem. Ihad the auto choke taken off and a manual choke put onand i have had no more problems! good luck!

Bad gas is probably the culprit. Today's gas breaks up, which eventually clogs up the carburator. Spend about $150 to have your carburator cleaned and it should start right up. I think it might have a choke on it to, try starting it adjusting the choke before you spend the money. Hope that helps.

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.
