That hose is the carburator remorte drain. in this picture borrowed form scootdawg  you can see the hose hanging down at the far left of the picture, and right nest to it is a cover mount bolt hole - Yours will be in the same place, but with the cover in place. That drain does NOT go between the cover and the engine. |

I got my new Harborfreight electric impact for $40 on sale.
If you have a local HF, ask for the online sale price if it isnt displayed in the store. Use the email coupons!

that hose leads down near the front of the belt cover and attaches to a lower bolt that holds the belt cover.

Yes, a stock gy6 150 Znen motor - which as it turns out has a 12 pole stator - from the factory. 1" header and shorty muffler, 110 jet. Stock air box.
It had heavy rollers - 17gram or 18 gram... has 10gram sliders in it now, should have 12 by the end of tomorrow

you can edit the names as you finish a trip and save the file, or on the maps.google page - I shared the route with myself, via email, and then edited the names before I shared this post.
As for RPMs, I usually don't see above 9000, even on the downhill with a tail wind. This morning the 9700 was in nearly flat after a slight downhill and a curve. Warm and humid. It is finally getting legs. It just turned 1500 miles when I pulled up to park. I need to change the rollers and see if I can get higher speed at a little less RPM.
The Xingyue (16" wheels) was in the upper 9000's on a huge downhill and a strong tail wind, when I got 66mph on the GPS.

Petcock

Most likely yes.
I replaced the vac operated petcock on my Xingyue with a manual and plugged off the extra vac ports.
In fact, now I have that manual one to sell - 16mm x 1.25 thread I believe. (I've upgraded to a home built 1/4" hose nipple outlet with a lawnmower shut off valve.)

How does the speedometer needle look? Solid and steady? Maybe a little vibration? Possible the speedo drive is dry or slightly misaligned? I have not had one apart on a scooter, but have had bad cables in cars. Buzzieness and erratic needles are symptoms, not always together.

Always use the vehicle spec and make adjustments from there for load or speed.
The numbers on the side of a tire are the maximum pressure.
Example: Ford Exploder - vehicle spec says 26psi front and rear. I drove it and found it quite squidgy. I upped the pressures to 32psi and it rode much nicer and predictable. The current tires on that SUV have a max of 45psi on the sidewall. That would wear the center tread out and make it ride like a farm truck. Later found a service bulletin for 30 or 32 PSI for the Exploder.
