| 2001 aprilia scarabeo 150 cc motorscooter, the throttle slide will suddenly break leaving the rider w/o any power to extracate himself from traffic. the rider is suddenly exposed to automobiles traviling at medium speed with no way to get out of automobilist way. this certainly places the scooter rider in a most dangerous situation. i think there should be a recall to replace these defective throttle slides. | |||

| The complaint revolves around a 2001 aprilia scarabeo 150, which suffered internal damage due to an abnormal failure in the carburetor. the cycle has a 1 cylinder, 150cc engine, and is currently at 15,000 miles. 1) normal 12.5 mile drive to work. temperature in the 70s, clear. 2) when powering down to make turn into workplace, the engine cuts out without warning. attempt to restart engine produces a locked engine sound (like a nice clunk sound - no rotation). because of the gearing system, the bike immediately started slowing down due to engine rotor drag. 3) problem was that one of the carburetor diaphram slider guides broke off along a non-stress line and lodged itself in the fuel line or cylinder. from an online rider's group, this type of carburetor failure is common (for a failure that should not ever happen). currently waiting for a new part for servicing. unknown if cylinder needs rebored, but the carburetor is definitely out of business. remains of the slider is still in the bike for dealer inspection. *jb | |||
