Did you get a sending unit? Wondering how much that sent you back. If you didn't have a fuel gauge I would think you were watching your miles closely.

Yes, I had to replace the sending unit. It was about $15 from www.chinesepartswholesale.com. Just have to pick the correct length for the rod on the sending unit. It was a direct mount and fit perfectly. And yes, I had to watch pretty closely. When I didn't know I had a fuel leak from my carb, I assumed I had more fuel then I actually did. What should have been a 1/4 tank was actually running on fumes! I've had a few close calls.. |

It's getting better but we still don't know why it won't keep running. It will fire and sometimes stay running for a couple seconds with the exhaust off. We are gonna try to clean the exhaust out again.

Have you taken the pipe of sounds like possibly there might be a lot of carbon build up on it. This is a moped right. I never owned one. How many miles does it have? You did a compression test and said it was 114 from 130 I believe. I would think you could get it running.
