That would just create a leak and bog on you, you may want to just give it a little whack and see if it frees itself. I mentioned to tilt it if you can if not you will have to take it off.

Check the pin that goes across to hold it or does it have a screw to hold it down. If a pin the pin may be out and not centered. SEE THE PIN HOLDING THE FLOAT  |

YUP! The float pin was danglig sideways on it's mount in there and fell off of its tab when I lifted the float out. NOW, what I need to know is, does it suspend in this orientation...  OR this orientation?  If you're not sure offhand, I don't expect you to hunt for the answer. Let me know and I'll hunt |

Look at the Alleys pic with the float and needle as long as you're there make sure the rubber cone needle tip is straight and not concave,, please

Thank you, cyborg. It was nice and sharp and no concave. My question above was actually about whether it mattered which side of the wire (that the pin dangles from) is oriented toward the front. Will it make a difference in how it behaves? I'm not sure. I'll try it one way . If it doesnt behave, I'll turn it. I should have annotated the pictures, to make that clearer. I couldn't find any clear close up pics to be sure by. It's back in the scoot since last night and ready to give a go, after I get some chores done Thanks again! |

By the way, I found an easy peasy way to get access to my air fuel screw..... The ram air insert on the side of the scoot pops off with just steady, firm, finger pressure...  Strait back there, between the 2 hoses is where the adjusting screw lives  |

I see it BUT it looks like it is plugged I do not see a SLOT for a screwdriver?? If it is plugged you cannot adjust the carbs fuel mixture. You have TWO options 1, drill out the plug or 2 get an aftermarket carb 24mm.
Also when taking a carb off take if OFF the intake manifold DO NOT take the intake manifold off to many times otherwise you will have a leak there. The intake MANIFOLD has a rubber gasket around its outlet and that get smashed to much and will not seal. So you ALWAYS take the carb off by loosing the CLAMP that holds the carb to the INTAKE MANIFOLD. You know that rusty clamp and screw (LOL).

If you drill it out use a 1/16 drill bit and only go 1/8 in then get a small pointed screw and screw it in and the plug will come out. Do not drill more than 1/8 the otherwise you will be hitting the mixture screw behind the plug.

Thanks Alley, its there though. It's obscured by the hoses.
Haha, okay. Yes, I have taken it all off twice but, will leave it attached if need be, another time.
Now, the initial adjustment is all the way clockwise then 1 1/2 to 2 turns counter, yes? It's running very low at first start up but, I do know it is out of adjustment. At least, I hope that the choke is not acting weird now. I was very careful with it.

Good, I could not see it, but anywhos initial yes at least 2 turns counter clockwise from the closed position then see if the idle changes turning it in either direction and you want to find the highest idle from that adjustment.
The choke BY DEFAULT should feed it extra fuel when you first start a COLD motor. As the motor warms up the ENRICHER starts to cut off the extra fuel. So very easy to know it is working or not. You can take it off and look at the plunger if it is retracted which is the default it should feed extra fuel on a cold motor. IF the plunger is sticking out about 1/4 from the base then it is not working.

Ah now I see it (LOL): Here is what the ENRICHER would look like in either position: COLD MOTOR RETRACTED:  AFTER 3-4 MINUTES motor running EXTENDED:  |

..BAD TO THE BONE..
