on some scoot like mine the gas tank is set up high so theres really no way to zip tie the evap line higher.
what I did was I just basically plugged the hole there. before I removed line and plugged it I did however close it off then open up throttle on the highway first to see if there would be any change.
the way I did mine worked out great as the little vent hole on the gas tank was enough for venting.
when the storms pass here I can take some pics and post it.
but if your tank is low enough to zip tie higher than I would go that route, that what I was going to do at first but couldn't

I would snag it up before the cops inpound it from driving on it drunk lol, if its been registered before at some point you could file for lost title I believe, but im not 100% sure on that, its worth checking into though.

its a bummer about those engine kits being held up at customs on ya, is it the same engines I have on my bike in the photo?
theres not alot of power on the kits but they sure are fun to install on a bicycle and even more fun riding it.
There actually off road motorcycle engines around 2hp on the 66/80cc cant remember the HP on the 49cc.
there loud, sounds like your riding an off road motorcycle, but there very cool.
I can get it going 35 mph on a straight way.
I dont regret getting the motor at all, there very dependable.
I know a older guy around 75yrs old, that has had hes for years, haha the bike is falling apart but the motor is still awesome.

Sounds like there not organized yet either.
I hear ya about trying small businesses first. But unfortunately allot of the mom and pop shops really hurt themselves by not being better organized, or having a good business plan.

I love to fix stuff
My Motto:
If its not broken-
Take it apart anyway and lose some of the pieces, then it will be. ???o

well I got the wheel choke from HF, and my wheel goes in it but the part that swings up to lock the wheel in the back is to long.
The bottom of the scooter, the part behind the wheel is preventing it from swinging up, so not really sure what to do other than making me a wheel chock from wood, or modding the heck out of the chock I just paid 42 bucks for.
I think I will trying and take it back to the local HF, and hopefully that will take it seeing how I purchased at the on-line HF.
I really don't feel like destroying the chock to make it work.
Any suggestions on making a chock that will not let the scooter tip over?
I'm figuring maybe use 2x4's and/or 4x4's, I had thought of also maybe welding some steel together also as I have a Hobart 140 MiG welder, its not a high powered welder but it would work for what I would need.
Peace

Glad to hear ya got it working,
I'm starting to think about changing a few things on mine, I would like to have more power on take off and top end.
I'm not sure if both are possible though.

Ah, thats a good idea never thought about modding it like that.
I will have to do that if it dont fit.
As far as getting online price i may try that on something else cause i purchased the one online already.
