Should I move my fuel pump to the left side? (I don't know if there is a mount for it?) also I'm using 1/4 each fuel hose, is that good or should I be using another size smaller like yours?

My gas line come off in the bottom left front, then (whoever) mounted the pump on right front frame, so then hose goes under across from right to left to get to the carb. ok, that is where I'll place the fuel filter so I too can get to it (thanks).

Alleyoop, How far from fuel pump do I install fuel filter? Another thing, the hose from the fuel pump goes under the engine and up to carb, Is that the right way to run that hose? (like always, thanks for your help)

Hi Alleyoop, I'll answer you here too. There is a tall hill going out of town in Nanty Glo, if I can get over it most of the time I'm good, but I do have times at WOT it will choke, my set up concerning my fuel filter is this, hose from gas tank to fuel filter, hose from fuel filter to pump, hose from pump to carb, (not filter after pump) could that be the problem?

going to work the other day, climbing a hill and it shuts off, drifted down hill to a local market, my scoot would no start no how, cranked it until battery went dead, called wife. she came and I jump scoot, but still no start, so got it towed home, next day notice my fuel filter was only half with gas (bottom half) so I drained gas think it was plug, changed fuel filter (the pic is the new one) check for spark and didn't seem to have any, changed spark plug, got spark, still no start until I sprayed cleaner in carb (diaphragm area) fired right up, so today test drove it, acting the same way, what the heck is going on? (JR told me to check diaphragm for tiny hole, check it, no holes. I'm just wondering if my fuel pump is going bad? here is pic of scooter running, my fuel filter isn't totally full, upper end goes to fuel pump, what do you think?

Going to work yesterday on my scoot and it shut off, couldn't get it started, drain the battery. called wife, she came and I junped the scoot, but it just crank, crank, and crank, no started had to get it towed home, looked at it last night, check my fuel filter and noticed that the gas was on the bottom half of filter and wasn't reaching far enough to reach the other end of the hose to the fuel pump, I was low in gas, I'm going to get some on my way home tonight, got a fuel filter like alleyoop has, maybe have a piece of dirt in tank?

I know when I adjusted the valves, I had the spocket side right on, the arrow on the other side wasn't dead on, but very close. when started it seem to be good. I'll start with the a/f ratio screw and let you know how its going and (hey I may forget, so Merry Christmas)
