Morning all
Scooter recently been cutting out abruptly mid ride but restarts if I put reserve on , sometimes Ok if I put back onto normal position for a while.
When I refuel tank only takes about 2.2 litres so shouldn't really need to be on reserve ?
Its a BGM tap and according to Sip reserve is 1 litre more than standard tap •
TYPE WITH RESERVE RESERVATION
The version with reserve position corresponds to the functionality of a conventional fuel tap (open/reserve/close). Here, when the reserve level is reached, the fuel tap is manually switched to reserve. Nice feature on the side: The reserve quantity is about 1 litre more than the original fuel tap
If normal tap is reserve at 1.5 Litres then BGM would be 2.5 Litres when the tank is still half full ?

2,5 litre reserve sounds a bit odd
is it possible that the tap has had the front part ( turning part ) fitted upside down?
i know it is possible and know it makes a difference but i cant remember what the difference is

Hi Steve / Movin 64
Straight out of the box new , just guessing what the normal tap reserve level kicks in at , maybe less than a litre ?
At least this one doesn't leak , maybe its nothing to do with tap and something else is causing the sudden cut out.
Only recent new bits this year are tap and crappy horn , will ride for a bit now good weathers coming ( I'm to old for the wet winter riding now unless 100% necessary ) and see if it happens again.
No comments from the Hard Core all year riders , I put mine in shed at Christmas until spring !

smart man,
i only ride two wheels when its a pleasure.
riding in the rain, wind, snow etc.
is something that i only do when i have no choice even on the Yam
i think the normal reserve is about 1/4 gallon
the last tap i fitted came in pieces that had to be assembled prior to fitting
i know that fitting the part that turns makes a difference but im damned if i can remember everything
i do remember it kept letting the juice through when in the off position ( so thats easy to test )
otherwise its take the whole tap out and shorten the top pipe

If it's the fast flow then it has a much bigger reserve. I have one on mine and that's the way it is. I suppose it's because they think if you're using a fast flow then you must have a tuned scoot, so it'll use more fuel so they give you more reserve so you'll still have about the same mile range when you hit reserve.

Cheers guys.
Lets hope we all get a chance to " Mingle " and a few events actually happen this year.
Just put a bid in for a Lambretta J50 ( cheap ) last night , I definitely must have drank to much last night.
I might be asked to leave the forum !
