Had gas leak when fueling up, also float was showing empty when I still had over a gallon of gas left. Pulled off all plastic , noted gasket on
Float had been leaking . Took out float, all plastic . Did not show signs of deterioration. Should I replace it or just tighten the gasket up?
I'm also doing a oil change & general manintance.

Reading empty with a gallon left is what they call the "Chinese reserve"  I'd try snugging it up a little extra first. |

Tried twice, seal still leaks, split inside edge. Thinking about trying RV silicon. I have access to Orings if that will work.
. Have about 2000 miles, also looked for the fuel adjustment screw on bottom of carb. Looks like a cap on it. One problem at a time.
Used black silicon to replace seal, had to go to work, will check when I get in. Still checking different things on scoot while I have the
Plastic off.
10/14/13. Filled up & drove around, no leaks. Adjusted head lites for night rides, left is still low &to the right.
