Hey guys I'm new to the board,I have an 85 spree and was wondering if anyone could tell me if there shold be 2 fuel lines one running to carb. and the other to the intake.The way it is now one line is running from the top port on the the regulator (i guess that's what that is..lol)to the caberator and the bottom port (looks like a vaccum port) is blocked as is the port in the intake,should these two ports be connected with a vaccum line?If it does need a vacumm line what size do i need to buy?This scooter has been this way since i bought 7 years ago and I'm sure it's not supposed to be this way but it has always ran good.I rebuilt the carb today and thats when i noticed this.

It's not right, but the fuel shutoff on the tank must have broken. Leave it as it is now, unless you want to find a new fuel shutoff for the tank.

When you pull the plug off the bottom fitting of the shutoff gas pours out,is this the way it is suppose to work?

Thanks for the answer.

It's not how it's supposed to work, but that's why it's plugged on yours. Someone drilled out the diaphram, which is a cobble-job fix. On the other end, the manifold is plugged to keep the engine from leaning out. If you want a good used vacuum shutoff, email drichardson@core.com, or check Ebay.

The vacuum shutoff acts as the fuel petcock, as on a motorcycle.
