It was good for about a day, ran totally normal. I filled it Tuesday night. I drove it 2x on Wednesday for about 15 minutes each time and when I went to go for 3rd ride at night, that is when it started giving me some crap. I put 1oz sea foam into the gas tank today. I haven't tried to start it since. I let that soak in while I was changing the gear oil and before I opened my scooter up. That little bar that u look at to gauge how full you are filling the gas, is it NOT good to fill it up to where its just about touching the bar. I know never to go over it but should I do less than the gas just about touching it when I fill it? Is it a big deal to fix if I flooded the charcoal canister? I'm pretty sure I know what THAT is on my scooter.  ![]() fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/282702_1704272627081_1845967276_1159615_4795797_n.jpg[/img] This thing? the lil canister seat belted in w 3 tubes coming off the top? |

Meh, the video is not telling me, it plugs directly into the bottom of the carb though (underneath)
I think its a drain hose to the bottom of the carb bowl.

That left side hose was a little loose, you were right, good catch. I tightened it. I could prob use a bread wrapper tie to tighten it on there too LOL. So no need to do anything w/ the CDI, if it seems like they are in there good, its good to put away? The hose leads to under the carb and is attached to it. I'm looking at a video now that will tell me the name of where the hose leads to. I'll tell u in a second |

So you are saying the hose on the left should have a clip on it like the hose on the right next to it has ( in the last picture I posted) Can you just buy those at an auto parts store? Its so tight where I'm trying to feel for where the hose leads to but it FEELS like it leads into the bottom of the carb. I'm going to go feel it up again  |

Wow nice diagram sprocket, thanks  Oh I do have a hose going to the front of those two bolts and gold clip its just in the front of it and not between like in Alleyoops pic. Should I unplug and plug back in or somehow tighten the wires in the CDI box? is it okay that one is missing from the bottom left? |

Hmm, I'm looking at Alleyoops pic and there is a gold clamp and 2 bolts w a lil hose thing between them but no hose thing between my gold clamp and 3 bolts. Maybe I should try to look further there?

Yay. I found 2 things. LOL. It seems like its not that long of a hose, maybe 8" or so and it SEEMS to attach under the carb.

Alleyoop, thanks, that worked. I found the spark plug, it was like kinda in the same area but on the side and IN, damn I hope I can get my socket wrench in there. LOL. Kind of strange place for it, for some reason I thought this thing would be like on top / easily accessible.  It lead to what I think MAY be the CDI box, it was next to my battery, under where I put my feet on the scooter.   This looks like the diagram of the CDI w the 2 plugs next to the 4 but they are round. For some reason I was thinking they would be square. Its attached to a little rectangular box and of the plugs only one is missing. The ground on the left. Is this it? I think it may be. If so someone told me to remove the plugs and squeeze them so it will fight tighter, see if any are loose, etc.. I see a lil thing on the side u can press to release but there is also this tiny slider thing on the top that is looks like u have to stick a tiny pointy object into to get it to release as well. I don't know if I can tell if they are lose w/ out unplugging then plugging them back in. They SEEM fine. Sorry for being such an airhead about this guys. LOL. |

Okay, Ill see if i see something similar in that location. Thanks. I MAY have found the CDI all tucked up in the side but its hard to get to so I'm going to take off a side panel and look further.

Turtle 8, good to know I can match up some replacement screws / bolts if need be. I have a thing full of random screws at home that I've collected too so maybe I could find some in there before I hunt for them at the hardware store. Ya duct tape sucks |

Wow, that sounds great. I don't really go over 25mph. I'm very careful with bolts and screws, but this is my first time touching any of them and they are already starting to strip a little. Like the gear oil bolt where you put that in started to strip a little and the bolt to take the seat off for the first time started to strip a little. Such cheap crap parts w these Chinese scooters  |

Wow I feel like a dip now for thinking I could fix scooters on the side for extra cash. I can't even figure out my own! Maybe just oil changes on the side? I have that figured out at least. LOL!

I looked again I still can't find where the spark plug is... unless.. it could be this thing..  This thing is a cap held on by 2 screws and screwed down to a big black thing that the carb is held down to. I guess I assumed that the spark plug cover was something that you pop off? Not something you have to unscrew to get to? Or could that be the case? I didn't see any wires coming out of this though. It would be much more fun to keep going out side and looking if it wasn't 95 degrees out w blazing sun. LOL. I feel like a complete dip that I can't find a spark plug for God sakes Ok, I'm going to go look more though |

I made a video. The guy I'm seeing says I sound like a stoner in it. I was a cheerleader for 4 yrs and blonde for 3 so yes I sound a bit valley girlish but I don't smoke herb. LOL!! Mthomas I will go try to find the spark plug again. Ya the green wire from the enricher goes to that white thing that is right now plugged into nothing. I'm not sure what " the auto may be on " means but I did smell some gas when I tried to start the bike this morning. I decided to not try to start it more than once and walked to the auto parts store for some tools |
