I've recently purchased a chrome air filter for my sym symply 50cc 2008 and i purchased it off this site 

www.racing-planet.co.uk/filter-power-aluminum-shield-2844mm-connection-chrome-p-12872-1.html?cPath=1456_41682_41698&sessID=9410876a7bb5d8de67c2c9879689dfe5#.U52eNvRDvD0


and it came back yesterday and me and my granch was installing it and we took the old air filter off and it had 2 pipes connected to the old air filter but the new one only has one hole to put one pipe in and we connected it with one pipe connected to nothing and i rode my moped up the street and it started OK but when i drove for about a minute it lost all power and would not go any ideas on where we went wrong

Sounds like a vac leak but John is correct, without pictures we're guessing. When you take pictures, don't get way up close, get back a little so we have some perspective. I'm moving your thread to the clinic board. Welcome to the forum. Rich

I don't think leaving the other hose disconnected is causing the problem What I think is the problem is that the chrome piece is allowing to much air and not enough fuel and the motor is starving for gas. The other hose is coming from a Canister and it is either from the gas tank vent canister or from the valve cover vent or from the EGR emissons canister or valve. All of which would not create that problem from disconnecting the hose from the air filter.
