Piaggio Recalls Aprilia Scarabeo 200 for Carburetor Problem
Piaggio has issued a recall of certain 2008-2009 Aprilia Scarabeo 200 motorcycles.
The float level in the float bowl of the carburetor was not set correctly in production, dirt and the varnish residue of dried gasoline not allowing the float needle to seat correctly, and a blockage of the evaporative emission hoses that did not allow the float bowl to vent correctly.
