Picked up a 2005 TNG Milano last fall for cheap. In the past I have had zero luck with making non-working 2 cycle engines into properly functioning specimens. This one barely ran so I hauled it off to the local scooter handyman. Just got it back today and after putting it through its paces I have determined that it is still not right.
Two different mechanics gave it their best and now it has a new carb, spark plug and a cracked intake manifold has been replaced.
Symptoms are:
*Very cold blooded, will not idle until warmed up.
*Bogs at WOT but only at higher speed and under heavy load (up a hill).
This thing absolutely jumps off the line and just screams on flat stretches or down a hill.
My mechanic bill and purchase price has already exceeded fair market value of the scooter. I need to learn this stuff anyway so where should I start regarding diagnosing the problems?
