my fix for flooded engines is to remove the spark plug, and heat it with a propane torch until it glows ,so that all fuel and deposits burned away.
That's asking for trouble. You are likely to set your scooter and your whole garage on fire. Simply remove the plug and let it evaporate over time. It won't take long, gasoline evaporates very quickly.
Flooded in the river or flooded by gas? Any "check engine lights"? Full gas pedal depression is the normal way to clear gas flooding or first remove the spark plugs and blow out the excess gas.
what kind of scooter is it?
get new ones
yes you can. i dont know how.. but you can
the engine is flooded with gas
If by flooded, you mean with fuel, there are two solutions. One is to leave the engine alone for a while (an hour or so should be plenty long). The other is to hold the gas pedal on the floor (do not pump it) while starting the engine until the engine starts. Give the starter a break periodically, don't crank for more than 45 seconds continuously or damage can occur to the starter. If by flooded, you mean with water, it would depend on how long and what kind of water is involved. Repair could be as simple as flushing the engine, or as complicated as a total rebuild.
but a engine in it
On my 49cc scooter engine the carburetor is found on the engine. The engine is broken down into 3 parts, the part to the left (looking at it) where the air filter is is right next to the carburetor.
Yes you can get a rev limiter. You can buy them from Scooter Attack dot com.
The 250 cc motor scooter is commonly the largest engine size scooter. The 250 cc scooter has a top speed of about 75 miles per hour, but usually the engine size will top the speed out at about 60 miles per hour.
I had problems on occasion with my first car (1979 Pontiac Firebird) having the engine flooded. (When starting, I "pumped" the gas alot, quite often "flooding the engine".) Naturally, a flooded engine is (darned near) impossible to start. But the "quick fix" I found was to hold the pedal to the floor while turning the ignition. It was eventually able to start and burn the excess gas. Note: This trick only works on carbureted models. So in nutshell: Floor it, turn the ignition. (And try not to pump the gas so much before you start it next time!!!) -Ric
