OK, so, just got it running for first time. BUT....

the petcock is actin crazy....first it would run at idle then quit (after bowl ran dry i think)
then, it filled engine with fuel......
now i unhook both lines from the petcock and both have fuel running out.

anything i can do? recommendations?

replacements are inexpensive (made in china), although some do use a manual shut off valve with success. I replaced mine 'cause I'm afraid I'll forget to shut off the manual one.

OK, what i did was drill out the faulty stock petcock, install inline filter, and shutoff valve. test run.........scoot runs good.
