Well thanks for the suggestions but I can’t seem to find it on any part diagram.

Thanks guys. I’m still researching it. The hoses are on the bottom.

This little plastic canister is part of the fuel delivery system but I don’t see any purpose for it. Gas flows through it when the engine is running but there is no filter or anything under the cap.

I retired early about 2 years ago and have become addicted to scooters! I currently have 6 in my garage! One was bought new but all the others were bought in various stages of used condition. I have learned so much from the posts on this board and of course from YouTube and trial and error.

This morning I took out the oil pump and cleaned it. Put it back in and checked the flow but nothing is coming out. Could this be the white smoke culprit? Not enough oil?

I have a 2008 Genuine Buddy that I’ve been working on for some time. It starts right up on the first push on the button but it never seems to get out of choke mode. It revs pretty fast so you have to pull back on the grips to keep it stationary. I’ve tried to adjust the idle and air mixture to no avail. Once it warms up, the idle returns to normal but after applying throttle, returning to idle takes about two to three second which makes stopping and staying stopped a challenge. It’s is also producing an irritating cloud of smoke from the muffler. Im trying to order a new carb but they are super hard to find. I was also thinking about replacing the reed valve and taking apart the oil pump and cleaning or replacing it. Am I on the right track? Thanks in advance.

Mine was doing the same thing. You can either drill a small hole in the fuel cap or disconnect the whole vent canister system. Drilling the hole was easier. If you get a rush of air when you take off the gas cap that’s probably what’s wrong. I’m gonna look for a replacement canister too.
