Hey Zombie.. I got a Lancer 150 just like yers..mine has a vacuum canister? (Don't know correct name) after fuel filter..its attached to frame by bolt..mayb they left yers off?..that could explain screw in line? Mayb??..feel on frame below ( bout 3ins) from filter n c if there is a tab w/bolt hole ..also got my light kit but can't install due to hi/lo bulb socket config..my kit has H7 bulbs n only one on lancer is H7..high beam..so since mine is under warranty I ordered another headlight bulb assembly..will keep u posted on progress..also the kit is Opt-7 HID conversion kit..got off eBay..www.opt-7.com..SKU # E-MT2-3XT7-H7-8..cost me $36.99/free ship..the setup seems to b able to work w/a few minor changes..both bulbs on..but on LANCER hi/lo bulb r different..open yers up n you'll c what I mean..hope all this ramblings help..keep the rubber down

Thanx fer the links Alleyoop.. Will order soon..got another question.. I want to get rid of my breather box/air filter set up on my tao tao Lancer 150..thinkin that I could use radiator hose n generic cone air filter instead..am I thinkin correctly? Seems that my setup has a long "travel" distance from carb to air filter..bout 24" from carb to actual filter. Thinkin that if I shorten distance it would allow better air flow n mayb a lil better giddy up n go? What do u n Cyborg think?

Thanx Alleyoop n Cyborg..the tutorial was enlightening..I'm a ol Triumph rider n I took off the amal carbs n replaced w/mikuni which had a crossover tube n manual choke..this scooter business is all new( n sometimes foreign..lol) to me..w/out this forum n guys like u I'd b down w/a messed up scoot..gonna check out the manual choke( where can I get one?) That sounds more like what this ol saddletramp can understand.. Also Cyborg.. Got light kit..need to get high beam socket to allow install..the bulb socket config won't allow both bulbs to b installed...( one is H1? Low.one is H7? High) so to use the Hid kit I need 2 high beam sockets..kit is H7 ice blue.. Got it on way..will keep u posted. Thinkin bout runnin both as Hi/Lo..or mayb just both on all the time since they r 8000k..later gents..its 59 out there n my face wants wind
