[New2Scoot]

All I haven't had the issues that you all have had or are having with the Lance Duke Touring 250. I was one of the lucky ones that there is actually a local dealer that is about a mile away from me. I have been talking with their Tech who puts the scooters together and gets it ready before it is picked up. Here are some of the things we discussed and what was done to correct the issue. I hope this provides some insight and help.

1. Starting problem: Test to see if you have a bad carburetor by putting a little gas in the carburetor and see if it starts then. If that works then it's a bad carburetor.

2. Overheating problem: Make sure you are using the right kind of coolant first off. Second, you have to make sure that all the air pockets are out of the system. From the way it was explained to me, the hose goes up and over the engine instead of a level shot. That will be where the Air Pocket would be. The way they were doing it at the shop that I bought mine from. He was filling it, then running it for a short period, and then filling it again. He had to do this a few times.

I think that if you can lift the front wheel off the ground and then fill the coolant that should get all the air pockets out of the system.

As I hear more idea's or information I will be glad to post those suggestions.
