I started the scooter up in the garage then opened the garage door to see some accumulation of snow. I thought i could handle it.......BIG MISTAKE.... first side street i hit was covered with snow and down i went. My first dump!

Anyway i picked it as it was stalling and it was very hard to start. Got it back home and when i stoped it stalled again. Could not get it back started.

So My question is what to do after a spill to get it back running normal?

Thanks

disconnect the evap
clean the plug and air filter and you should be set to go.

Open up the air filter, black box on the left side of your scooter and remove the foam filter. Squeeze out the gasoline that has soaked it from when your scooter went down. Put it back together and your GT should run freely again.

Everything is back to normal. Took evap hose off and cleaned filter which was saturated with fuel.

The only thing not normal is a few scratches.....I got lucky and just damaged a few plastic pieces and they are not bad. I think the ice helped out with the body damage!

Thanks for all the help.
