I'm having a little issue with takeoff once the scooter is warmed up. I'm assuming its fuel because its when the automatic enricher shuts off. Attached is a a video: It's like it bogs down 1/8- power band kicks in View My VideoI also have a screeching sound coming from the variator any ideas? |

There may be something fuel related going on, but if that's the same throttle the whole time I think it may be a clutch issue. Could be engaging too early and bogging when the pipe's not in it's powerband. Heat can have some effect on that too, because the springs tend to soften once there's a bit of heat in them.
You can try adjusting the idle mixture settings or needle settings. Both are fairly quick and easy. If they don't do anything, consider stiffer clutch springs or lightening the clutch shoes.
I must be missing the variator noise in the vid, but I'd suggest doing an inspection. Whatever it is will likely require removal of the variator anyway, so you might as well just take it off and clean it and inspect it.
If you need help with any of those tasks, lemme know. I've got vids on all of those things.

A screeching sound is sometimes the clutch shoes slipping on the clutch bell because they are glazed over.
How long since you did a carb cleaning?

All small engines will need to be warmed up prior to riding in order to perform good . I always let mine idle and in the winter I give it just enough throttle to spin the wheel while on the CS to warm up the belt . When cold the piston is not fully expanded compared to when at operating temperature . Letting your scooter warm up will not only make it run better but also last longer . Your scooter will thank you by allowing you to enjoy riding it

I've messed with the needle and no results. And yeah vert in the video that it ful throttle from takeoff. It really ticks me off because i almost have to push the damn scooter just to get it going when I'm on an incline. I'm thinking its CVT related.
