Thanks guys. And yes the first pic does have a circular piece broken. I figured i could reinforce it behind it and use body filler then paint over. Just wasnt sure if it would last.

When you adjust the float make it to where the needle is topping out when the bowl is level. Just to make sure its got plenty of fuel.

My scoot does not have a tach. But i tried to hook one up for temp use(for this thread) but i could not get it working so im going to take the tach apart and see if some wires are messed up.

just got back in from a 15 minute ride with a 38 pilot and 125 jet. set the idle to 1800ish then backed the screw out, tightened it, but no change until it dropped from being too lean. took the screw back out to about 2.5 turns again and drove it a bit, it still wants to cut off when i give it a sharp twist on the throttle when its warm, then not start for a few minutes and will onl start if i drop the idle screw back to where it would idle at 700-800rpm. it may not matter but i have an a9 cam also, apparently that designation can mean a lot of things, this one was roughly double the lift and a bit more duration than stock. also, are the pilot jets numbered backwards from main? my sizes were 42<40<38<35, smallest to largest holes. the stock ones were smaller than the 42. i may switch it back out with a 40 or 42 but it didn't seem to change anything anyway. I'll let it idle tonight and check the plug. also, could overheating cause this symptom? my fan shroud intake hole is missing the grate thing, might not be pressurizing the air properly to cool everything but I'm pretty sure that's secondary to the carb being wrong. At what rpm does the scoot clutch seem to engage ? The cam should have no bearing on what rpm you idle at. Its strange how you can get the scoot to idle so low. I wonder if your rpm gage is off " that's why I asked at what rpm the clutch seems to engage ". I don't see the pilot jet needing to be any larger. Have you checked the float level ? When your scoot acts up , shut it down quick , do not try to start it again. Open the drain on the carb bowl and see if any gas comes out. You may be running out of gas if the float is not set right. So give it throttle and when it sputters shut the scoot down quick. Then check the bowl. I had this problem sometimes with my float. I fixed the float and the bowl stayed full and fixed it, also removed my evap canister, because it was making it flood out when trying to start it. |

Went outside morning and she started right up. No problems at all. I guess the evap stuff really was messing it up! Thanks again everyone that has helped me!
