I'm back once again with another issue with my EuroStrada RX125. This time, I was riding home from work when I heard a clinking sound, like metal on metal, and that's when she bit the dust. I went ahead and took a look to see what was causing the issue. I'm getting spark, and there's no issue with my petcock, fuel lines, or fuel flow. However, when I tested to see if when I cranked my engine over if fuel would flow into a cup, it did not. But I did when I sucked on the vacuum line as opposed to having it connected. I'm not sure if this is because my Y-connecter is shredded and temporarily fixed at the moment, or another issue. I'm sure it's not starting because of the lack of vacuum, but I could very well be wrong.

Low compression means low vacuum too. |

I would if I could find the part I needed. I went into a local shop and asked the "expert" there if they carried the part I was looking for, and he looked at me with a third eye. It's a Y connector for the fuel line.

It's a Y connector for the fuel line. Go to local auto parts store and buy a "T" vacuum fitting, should be about the same size or slightly larger for a tight fit. May come in a pack of assorted fittings, so make sure to look closely. |

Most hardware stores carry them also.
