At 35mph my sccot DIES!  By  psychedelicode (Read 2,296 times)

Great, Maybe it is just the way hoses are and cutting off fuel flow to the Petcock and Carb with the way the hose is bouncing around since it was running good just as it is.

It is all gravity fed.
#1 is vac
#2 is Tank vent (the bouncing one)
#3 is from tank
and #4 you cant see in the video is feed to carb.
Nothing is looped or pinched. Tomarrow ill take another video with a better angle so you can see #4 and the rest clearer.

Ok, I'll do that before the video tomarrow. I've never seen a vent run to a petcock either. But, there is no carbon canister or anything and EPA will not allow venting to atmosphere so I guess they had to do something with the vapor. and I'll bet if I took the petcock apart that vent shares the same half of the diaphragm as the vac line. this way the vapor just gets burned like the rest of the fuel.
But wouldn't that mean if I had a bad gas cap I would lose vacuum? and that my fuel tank is under vacuum when the engine is running? Seems counter productive for the fuel delivery.

Not in this case. #2 goes to a nipple next to the fuel cap. I can get pictures when my roomie gets home from snowboarding.



And how do you quote on this new board? It was way simpler in the scootdawg days.

Oh yeah the quote was right there. I am an

OKOK! I'll pull it off and plug it. But this is how TGB built it. Not sayin they are smart, right or, bright. Im kinda suprised it made it this far without a single problem. My Gy6 50 was notoriously terrible in comparison.

I'll go through the maintenance records again. I have a rather large folder of them from the previous owner..EVERYTHING! But it was all just the de restriction of CDI and Variator washer (The washer is actually taped to the folder with a date!) as well as weatherization for winter. She never drove it in bad weather. This winter is its first year out and it has taken its toll already on the chrome and whatnot. I know her well and she constantly complains that I ride all year on her old scoot (all in good fun, she knows that I love this scoot).
