Why won't our Keeway Venus Scooter start?

by Edwin
(Marysville, OH)

The starter on our Keeway Venus scooter is working and it is getting fire. I have even tried to manually feed the gas but it still will not hit.


Also, the website says that this is a two stroke engine but I have been unable to locate the 2 cycle mixing container on this unit. Help?

Venus starting issue
by: MoScooters

The Venus has the oil tank under the compartment on the right rear fender (should be a wing nut holding it shut).

For starting, if the bike has sat for a while drain the carb (should be a screw on the bottom of the carb) loosen allow the old gas/oil mixture to drain. Then try to restart, use the kick starter. If this does not work and you have spark, you'll need to get your carb cleaned.

By gas tank or floor board
by: Eric

Hi... The normal location for the oil tank is either beneath the seat or in a compartment near the floor board on the body of the scooter near where your feet are when riding but opposite the leg shield (a small compartment held in place, usually, by a single screw).

You may need your carb cleaned, or you might try unscrewing the gas cap and just setting it on top and trying to start it (the cap may be faulty and not allowing the normal air exchange).

Good luck!

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.
