You def need a bigger Cap and a way to keep water off of it. I ditches my stock battery and fabbed a tray for a motorcycle battery. Much better now

I used hole saws and cut the filler neck and nipple out of the stock gas tank. Cut holes out of the extinguisher. Then welded them on. Had to used J B Weld to seal every thing up. Also had to pour some into the valve so it wouldn't open and pour gas e every where. I have a crapy thread in the general scoot . Section I stillhave a battery but just to Erin three lights. Most of the time I use the luck start since I don't have a starter button wired in.

Disregard all previous stupidity. My gas tank was mounted below the carb. Moved the tank and now she runs like a raped ape

I just installed a new 150cc on my bike. Got it running and rode it a couple times for short distance. Tried to ride yesterday and as soon as I left the house it died. The only way I can get it to start is to close off the intake side of the carb. Even then it will not stay running.
Fuel is getting to the carb, Fuel isgetting in the cylider and it's getting spark. Also readjusted thevalves(too tight from factory). But still no change.
Also spark plug smells like gas and feels oily. I ndon't know what else to try. HELP

I'm in the process of doing that now. There is a good bit of welding involved Monster GY6 sells a bolt on kit. For $600 with an engine included, that's not a bad price.
