So I have a Baja 150 CC Retro scooter and the fuel valve isn't working and I cannot find a replacement OEM part. Anyone have any ideas on how best to get fuel from the tank to the carb? I have looked at other bikes but not sure which one would fit. The OEM part has a vacuum system for shut-off. Willing to not deal with that if I could just get it to run.

The actual problem is that gas leaks through the vaccum system and into the cylinder. As you can image that has caused all kinds of fun.

They are just vacuum operated petcocks, Where is the tank on your scooter back higher than the carb or up in front lower than the carb.

If the tank is above the carb any Vacuum operated petcock will work.

Or am I not understanding your intentions?

If the starter spins, the relay, wiring or switch is bad. If the starter dosen't spin, the starter needs attention.

The clicking is your solenoid and normally if it clicks the solenoid is bad.
Alleyoop

While you wait for a new Solenoid to arrive you can start your scoot by jumping the SOLENOID.
Turn the KEY ON and using a Screwdriver touch both terminals on the SOLENOID.
Here is how to do it:

Any other ideas on how to solve this problem?
