2018 Massimo 500

[Robert Sawyer]

Hello!

I purchased a 500 with 100 miles owner didn't use like wanted.  I have been using (live in Michigan) just started getting cold and now i am having a stalling issue all the time.  The unit start runs great but when come to a stop it normally stalls, and when give it power it can bog at times.  I know there are the obvious plugs, fuel filter etc but all seem ok, figured there might be a trick tip to this before i dive in.

2. When i take the center cover off there is a pipe that is not covered?  what is that for ?  should it have been covered?

Not sure it weather is connected i let it warm up but usually have to hold pedal down.  Ran perfect since i bought it and now acting up

 

Thank you in advance

If the carburetor is adjustable, it's probably running a lean air fuel mixture.

Smaller engines in cold weather like rich mixtures (more fuel than air)

When you come to a stop, choke it just a little bit and see if it runs better.

Probably  mouse nest in air filter. Run some seafoam in the gas tank and change the spark plug. Efi engine should run fine in the cold

May just be a bad batch of gas since you last fueled up . Try some gas line antifreeze to eliminate the moisture. It’s a cheap fix and it won’t harm anything

So I changed plug, cleaned air filter , went to recreational gas I am directed to the air idle control as coming up as error code however I can not locate the part on engine. 

 

Need location ion of air idle control

Just curious where do these codes show up? You got a code reader for it? I need one

Here is the part itself.

It should be located around the intake into The engine. I'll do some more looking.
