2-stroke 49cc scoot.
My vacuum fuel valve failed in a stuck position, and partially open, whether running or not you get a slow dribble of fuel out of the tank, it is enough that the scoot can idle but if you try to ride, it will starve for fuel a couple blocks down the street and won't start again until you let the float bowl fill back up.
So, first question, is the fuel valve serviceable, that is can you crack it open and either gut it (so fuel flows freely and at least I can ride the scoot until a new one gets here) or attempt a repair of diaphragm or seals or other parts inside?
Second question, are the threads on fuel valves standard for scooters, so I can order a replacement?
