Re: Engine quits in hot weather

I used the jet that came with kit but it was the same # as the orginal carb. The kit also suggested I drill several 1 inch holes in the filter which I did but it wouldn't run for * so sealed up all but one.

I'm open to other suggestions. Including a statement like--YOU IDOIT ...

Re: Not enough vacuum

Wow!! AS you all say I'm backwards (as usual). Thanks for the help.
PS To whom ever asked how the bike ran in the 1st place. I had a vacum pump hooked up to the vacuum petcock line when running.

Re: Not enough vacuum

The petcock vacuum nipple is located on the throttle slide tube. Infact, the slide has a slit in it so as it moves up and down it won't block what ever vacuun is available at this point. My vacuum guage placed on the nipple indicates 0 vacuum. I temprarily solved the problem by applying a tee at the ...

Re: Not enough vacuum

I checked the vacuum directly at the nipple where the petcock vacuum tube is connected. Absolutely no guage movement. THis nipple is located at the throttle slide position. Any way I used a t fitting on another vacuun nipple and all works well.

Thanks everybody for your time

I live n KS. They require titles too. But many states like NY and MO din't require titles on 50cc's. So, if I were to buy a scoot w/o title I would tell the DMV I purchased it from MO that does not require titles and present a BOS stating it was bought from a made up address from a MO city and made ...

Re: Not enough vacuum

I made a new filter using 1 inch foam from a hobby shop. The air box is sealed with no leaks and the petcock is new--but I'm not sure if it's for a 49cc. I also have a 80 and 150.

Using my vacuum pump I only have to apply 0ne or two inchs of vacuum (bearly registers on the guage). Can the vacuum ...
