How to Troubleshoot Aprilia Scooters

Aprilia scooters are small and durable. They can be ridden for fun and for quick trips around the block. There are many fluid levels and mechanical components that can cause the scooter to malfunction. Read the owner's manual that came with your scooter to understand every detail on your scooter.

Instructions

1. Pour regular unleaded gasoline into the Aprilia scooter if it is out of fuel. The scooter does not run on diesel or leaded gasoline.

2. Fill the oil tank with two-stroke motor oil. If you use four-stroke motor oil, the engine will malfunction.

3. Check the engine coolant. Remove the front cover of the scooter. Pour a mixture of 50 percent water and 50 percent anti-freeze into a container. Pour the mixture into the tank labeled "Coolant" until the fluid reaches a level between the "Min" and "Max" fill lines.

4. Restart a flooded engine, which is an engine that won't run because a gasoline-rich fuel mixture has fouled the cylinder. Push the "Start" button on the control panel for a few seconds while the throttle is in the "Open" position. The engine will start up.
