Same scooter, same issue I think. Just bought a 2007 built Roketa 250 clone used w 3300mi and the previous owner neglected to mention that it runs out of fuel at 1/4 tank (or maybe it broke after I bought it 2 weeks ago) . Arrgg. My 2mi walk on a high speed rural hwy gave me time to reflect on how much fun this scooter might be.

So, I found this thread and thought I'd just pop out my sender and I started rooting it out. Holy carp whatta beast to get to. It's a front tank wedged in tight behind the radiator/fan and under the backbone tube, surrounded by the outer rails, backed up by the mid-frame uprights. The outer plastic panels were unreal enough to jockey loose but even when those are off it now looks like the only way to remove the tank is out through the front after removing the rad/fan. Clearance on top of the tank is about 1/4".

• At this point I'm committed (or should be) so, any sage advice on what I absolutely have to remove to get that sender out of the tank?
  

• Can it be tilted enough after removing the side mounting brackets (of course one of which has an impossibly stripped bolt) or will the whole radiator need to go?
• If the float is shot, where/how can it be found?
• It restarted after putting 1/2gal in the tank and ran well so I'm feeling pretty confident it simply ran out still showing 1/4tank, but maybe it's something else that's intermittent?
  

Here's a couple pics of what I have. Thanks for any good advice. Bad advice,......not so much. Mike

PS, that collett type stopper shown above is easily found at any hobby store. look for an RC plane control rod adjuster type connector.
