My NST 50 is identical to your scooter, except yours looks much better than mine. When I pulled my carb to clean it the wires from the enricher ran over to the frame on the right side (facing forward) of the scooter. They met up with the frame above where the starter solenoid (the part with the two red caps) is then ran down the frame rail towards the coil. (the coil is bolted to the frame and is covered by a black rubber boot) The enricher plug is usually in that area, between the starter solenoid and the coil. Could even be farther forward than the coil as the wires from the enricher are longer than they need to be for this model scooter. (one size fits all) My wires doubled back on themselves and the plug was between the two parts previously mentioned. Take hold of the enricher wires where them meet the frame and gently push/pull on them and watch for movement along the frame rail. That should lead you down the right path.

When I watched your second to last video I noticed that your carb wasn't connected securely. This could allow too much air in causing runability issues too. The intake manifold (black rubber mount in front of the carb) has a slot in it that when properly mounted keeps the carb on straight. When the tab on the carb is in the slot you know that the carb is in the right position. The air intake on the back of the carb needs to be pushed up tight all the way around the rear opening of the carb and both clamps need to be snugged down to prevent air leaks. Hope this helps.

You are doing just fine! Being willing to get into the insides is 90% of the battle. You've got a great scooter there and it will be running good again soon.

If a 10 inch wheeled scooter and a 16 inch wheeled scooter use the exact same speedo drive hub, then the compensation would have to be in the speedometer head.

What I was trying to tell Skikman was that if the drive unit he was looking at was the exact same as his old one it wouldn't change the reading on his speedometer regardless of the one inch difference in wheel size.

Sometimes I see what I want to say in my head but it doesn't come out clearly.

Is your enricher on the carb already plugged in to another connector somewhere else on the right side of your scooter? If so then the plug in your video is probably just an extra not used on your model.

I agree cookees. An armed society is a polite society.

And by the way Luke, I've always had guns around. Gotten mad many times and never once pulled one out and shot anyone. It usually boils down to the value one places on human life. Those that don't value it will always find an implement to kill with. Even their bare hands.

I think most scooters headlights dim somewhat at idle, I know mine does. I think that is the nature of their charging systems. The engine needs to be at or above a certain rpm for full charging output and that is normally above idle speed.

I see from your other post that you checked all of your wiring connections. I would next make sure all ground points are in firm contact with bare metal. Weak grounds cause resistance to the flow electricity and could have a negative impact on your charging rate.

Short rides also can drain the battery over time as even a properly charging scooter doesn't recharge the battery as fast as automotive alternators. So with each start up you are taking more out than the short ride is putting back in.

Ok, I replaced the fuel lines tonight after work. She started up and settled into a good idle. I didn't see any leaking so I went and ate dinner while I let it run. Revved it up a few times and she sounded good. Checked everywhere and no leaking gas anywhere. ;D I put the body back together and when I was done I had no left over screws and I didn't even break anything.

It was getting dark and I'd had a long day so the test ride will have to wait until tomorrow. Hopefully I won't even have to play with the A/F mixture. We'll see.
