My scooter has a weird problem. When I take off the fuel hose, the fuel runs like intended, but when I plug it back in the carb, the scooter works fine, but after like 5 minutes the engine slows down dramatically, and I can see the fuel filter getting empty. I removed the auto fuel valve and creating a straight tube, it didn't help at all. What should I do? The carb is new and I don't want to waste money on a new one, so I'd like to hear opinions on what might cause this and possibly fix the problem. Thanks.

Look and make sure that the vacuum line into the petcock isn't crimped or cracked somewhere. Vacuum changes as the engine warms up so you may have enough at cold temperatures but progressively lose it as the engine warms.
