Ahh yes, true....let's see some pics of inside the carb, hopefully way cleaner than the outside. Good luck motleycrue.

the way that carb looks it either had a leak at one point or a leak at the oil tank that all dripped down on top of it

Right now the carb is in the paint gallon of carb cleaner I just bought this morning from Advance Auto. While I am waiting for that to do its magic, I took off the kickstand covers and boy what a mess it is in there. I will take some pics of that. I don't know what to do in order to get the kickstand spring to work again. I would ideally like to find a new one on Ebay, fully assembled with new kickstand and components, nicely lubricated, etc. This doesn't look like it will be as simple as spraying WD40 on it

Swimming you are gonna want to punch me in the face... petcock.... I looked at it and the vacuum tube and fuel line connectors were pointing toward the back of the bike and since the lines need to go to the front of the scooter they were both pinched and that explained the motor cutting out! Sh1t!

As a result, there is bad news and good news. The bad news is all I needed to do was loosen the petcock and spin the tubes toward the front of the bike to remove the pinching of them. The good news is I know what the problem was (or most likely what it was) and it forced me to pull the carb and clean it up. You guys see the pics, it was filthy. I may increase the performance, top speed, etc., of my bike by bathing the carb and getting it into tip top shape. Let's face it, it needed it.

Gonna deal with the kickstart right now while the carb soaks. I might leave it in the solution for like 2 days. It is atrocious.! I will take a look at 8-5 in manual and see what you are talking about Swimming.

I also sucked on the vacuum line and gas poured out of the fuel line like a sieve! Great news. It stopped when I stopped sucking on the vacuum line. Also great. My girlfriend would have been better at that job.

boy i wonder what wood of happen if you wood of done it when we ask you to ???????
not a big deal its not hard to mess up we all do it ..
on the crab the out side dose nothing on the running of the bike its the in side ..when you start to put the carb back together do it with clean hands and on a clean rag..
ill bet when you get it back to gather it will run

I've seen worse, that should clean up easy enough and work like designed. I think there are some pics in martnkims build thread of where the springs go. I don't have time to search for it now but will later if you don't find it.

the kickstart is not hard at all to fix just pull the castle gear off and the main half moon gear should release and return to normal, spray it down with wd 40. while that soaks spray the castle real good with wd and take a knife and clean out all the grooves on the pieces. dont loose the little washer underneath it. take a steel brush and scrub all that rust off hte half moon and make sure the teeth on it are scraped clean of oil grease and stuff then just put the castle back in making sure that the half moon is pushed down slightly so the castle gear engages on about the third tooth from the bottom of the half moon, it has a weld spot that stops it from going farther down should work like new
