I dint think it is electrical. And I emptyed the gas tank and blew out the gas supply lines. The gas had a few black specks in it. Checked the gas filter. The fuel pump has pressure. After I did all this it ran good. Started right up. I drove it for around 5 minutes. And later it would still start up good. But this morning I could not get it started. I give up. Please help  |

Those blacks specks could very well be coming off your fuel line. Have you changed the original fuel and vacuum lines? Also those specks may have clogged your jets. May need to clean carb.

Yes, those black specks are most likely from inside the hose and if they get by the filter they will clog up the tiny passages of the Pilot Jet.

I checked the fuel pump and it has suction, but no fuel comes thru it. I might have to get a new fuel pump. If I do I might just get an electric fuel pump istead.
QUESTION: I blew thru the fuel pump by mouth. Could that screw it up?

Did you check to see if fuel flows into the fuel pump? The filter could be plugged and in some cases the outlet of the gas tank sometimes gets plugged. Blowing into the fuel pump would not hurt it.
The fuel pump may be plugged up if the any crap got by the filter.

The other issue you have is those black specs you found in the fuel line. I am sure they found there way to your carb. You need to change both the fuel and vacuum lines to USA made lines. Your fuel pump may be an issue, and if it is you don't need an electrical fuel pump. If you change your lines and if you clean your carb including the jets and passage ways it will take a well charged battery to get the fuel from them the tank to the carb. For me it took a few minutes of hitting the start button for a few seconds at a time, but it did pump gas into the carb. We have the same linahi engine so I know it will pump fuel to the carb. Listen to Cruiser and change the fuel filter. If your fuel pump is clogged with crap you can replace it with this one. www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/eppages/mikunifuelpump1.php |

I am going to change all the lines this weekend and i am waiting for a new fuel pump i ordered. and also change the fuel filter & clean the carborator. and your right about not getting an electric fuel pump. the guy where i ordered my fuel pump from said not to get one because they had a recall on them & he only sells them as replacements. I ordered a mikuni high flow fuel pump. i will let you know if we get it going, thanks!

You are doing the right things and hopefully your scooter will start and stay running. The Mikuni fuel pump fits perfectly in the same spot as your old one.
