Fuel system: “I had been riding for a few miles and my scooter just stopped. When I tried to restart it, it wouldn't start. The fuel pump wouldn't even turn on. I've read about many more people having this problem. When will there be a recall? It's $200 to fix this problem that I shouldn't be having.”
