Well I know that when detached from the carb, the fuel line flows gas freely at a quick rate....I've spilled/wasted plenty of fuel testing this. It's just not pulling in new fuel from the tank correctly. I'm going to replace the petcock and give the carb another good clean with high hopes...

Alright I'll clean the carb again....Last Time I checked the float was working just fine and such but I'll give it another whirl. Is there any repercussions of not replacing the petcock?

Im stumped here haha this has to be the petcock right? is it possible that the vacuum to the petcock is stoping the flow of gas instead of doing the opposite?

Ok so I'm getting real confused here...

I replaced the filter and tested with the gas cap off with no improvements. Here is whats happening:
with nothing to block the end of the fuel line it will just pour out forever, but when hooked up to the carb the fuel filter wont fill up at all (or at least ...

Ok so I'll replace the filter, check the vent issue, and then look into the petcock. I do find it strange that the fuel flows out with the engine off...i'll get back to you.

Ok so it is def a problem with fuel delivery. I was riding it today and once it got to bogging I took a look around the engine...the fuel filter was empty. I took the line off the filter at the inlet and fuel poured out. I took the fuel filter off completely what fuel was left in the filter drabbled ...

I have a spare plug laying around but the current one has a strong spark and was replaced shortly before I bought the scooter.

These are all good Ideas I'm going to try all these suggestions and get back to you. The only other thing is that the previous owner put an inline fuel filter from the tank to the carb. Could this need replacing as well?

bump?

I've tried to do my research and I've tried lots of things but nothing has quite solved my issue. My scooter starts fine and runs great for a few mins, and then once its warm it starts to die at full throttle and low speeds. It seems to be especially bad after holding a steady 30 mph for some time ...

ok so now the idle seems to work nice, so I rode it for a while and found one last problem.....once it gets warm and I rode it for a while, it's torque output went way down. Like it accelerated super slow and would stall out with full throttle at low speeds...it's full speed was still quite high ...

Yeah that makes sense I dont know why I didnt think of it before. I'll re-adjust the idle and replace the O ring. Should help further...Its almost perfect.

Ok so I did find an air leak, and I fixed it with more improvement. Now I can get the scooter to idle alright with some fine tuning of the idle screw where the back wheel isnt turning. However, when I go ride the bike for a little while and then test the idle, it more often than not spins the back ...

ahhh that makes sense...thanks for all your help I'll look for air leaks and get back to you with results.

Hey so I cleaned the crap out of the carb and it started up and throttled much much better. After trying to get it to idle though I ran into an issue.....I can only get it to idle when the wheel it stopped by the brake or ground. If the wheel is off the ground it idles at a super high rpm and when ...
