Hi folks. Update time. I pulled the carb back out and cleaned the rubber elbow leading into the engine. I then double checked all of the screws on the carb and made sure all of the connections on the vacuum system looked good. I took each section off I could and blew through it to see if I could find a leak. The scooter idles, and you can also rev it up without any problem. It seems like the problems are now in the low mid range. But, I was able to get it running and take it out for a spin. As long as I keep pumping the throttle it doesn't die.
Also, oddly enough, all of the electrical seems to be working again. The headlight is out (it looks fine and I ordered the wrong replacement), but other than that, everything seems to be working. I have no idea what is happening there.
I have a question about the non removeable jet in the carb. The pilot and main jet come out (correct?)? The third one seems like it is gummed up maybe, but I don't have anything small enough to clean it out. I usually use welding tip cleaners for the carbs, or even the wire from inside a zip tie, but all of that is too big. Should I use a single strand from copper wire? Is that supposed to flow freely or is there a way to get it out?
