Ok, sounds great. I'll give that a try first and let you know how it works out, probably toward the end of the week. Thanks again.

Hi guys, Carlster again. Lately my fuel gauge seems to be acting up. When it runs low on gas and I add more the gauge seems to be stuck where it was when I added the gas even when I know its full. Some times it seems after I hit a few pumps in the road it will go up to where it should be. It seems as though the floater thing maybe getting stuck. Is there a quick fix for this that anyone may know of? I'd hate to have to keep going over pumps on purpose just to see how much gas I have, lol. Also wiggling the bike back and fore a bit seems to get it on stuck as well. Its a 150cc Chinese Roketa with the fuel tank on the floor board just behind and in between where your feet rest while riding. Thanks in advance for any help anyone has to offer.

Hi again scooter docs, I have one more question if you guys don't mind. Is it normal for the fuel filter to empty when the throttle is opened? I noticed when I had mine on the center stand and running, that when I opened the throttle to give it a good rev. the filter looks like it would empty but then fill right back up when I released the throttle. I'm thinking wouldn't this cause a problem if I was to ride near top speed for more then a few minutes? I am new to the whole scooter seen and this website has helped me a great deal. I really do appreciate all the helpful advice you guys have been able to give me. I'm hoping that this will be my last question for a while.

Lol. Thanks Sprocket. I'll do a condom check in the am.

Thanks for all the great advice guys. I've narrowed it down to something between the gas in the tank and the fuel filter. After cleaning the carb, adjusting the values, setting the idle speed and adjusting the fuel mixture it happened again, so what I did is I reinspected the line again and there didn't appear to be anything wrong. So I removed the gas line from the filter and just stuck it into a small glass with gas in it (after killing the battery twice trying to get it to start) and after only two or three seconds it started right up, I was amazed and happy. Next I took the filter off and blow it out from both sides with a compressor. I let the engine run out of gas by taking the line out of the glass (which I was surprised at how long it took to finally run out) then I reattached the filter and the same thing 2-3 secs and it started no problem which is better then usual. So I again let it run out of gas and then reconnected everything. It Started and run for about 2 mins if that and it shut off again, and then would not start no matter what I did. So I disconnected the line again with the filter still attached and put it back in the glass of gas, and wouldn't ya know it 2-3 seconds it fired right up with a weak battery and run great this time I let it idle for a good 20 mins no problems I even tried to see if I could get it to stall out, it wouldn't which it normally would have after idling for that long. So that's where I'm at. I had to stop for dinner. It seems to me that the problem lies somewhere between the fuel filter and the gas in the tank. Any ideas? And thank you all again for the great advice. You guys really seem to know your stuff.

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I'm glad I was able to find this site, it seems like it can be very helpful.
I have just got a new scooter and I'm having issues with it right off the bat. After going through everything and tightening up many nuts and bolts and replacing the headlight (already, because the one from the factory was wired wrong and caught on fire after about 15 mins after I finally got it started). At this point I must say that I'm not enjoying my new scooter at all. Any way I beleive I have worked out all of the numerous minor "kinks" there is still one that I haven't quite work out yet. It will start ok and run good, but at random times usually when idling or once at about 5 mph it just stops, no sputtering or anything, just like turns off. When this happens it is incredibly difficult to restart. I usually have to give it a skirt or two of starter fluid.Once it starts again it seems to run fine until the next time it happens and then its the same thing. I can only get it started with a few skirts of starter fluid. If its running good and I turn it off it seems to restart just fine. I'm beginning to get very frustrated with it because its unpredictable as far as when this will happen and considering its brand new I've been stuck quite a few time (I now carry the can of starter fluid as part of my tool kit). If I could just get this worked out so that its reliable and I wouldn't have to be worried about getting stuck everywhere I would be so happy with it.
It's a : KAIT MC-16K-150
So far I must say I'm not to impressed with it.
My other question is there is a clear hose in the engine compartment that I have no idea what it does or if it my be part of the problem. When it was running I removed the plug that was in the end and it almost seemed to run better (or it was just a coincident, like I mentioned when it running in run very well). I'll try to add a picture of the hose I'm talking about.
Any help or advice anyone can give me would be very greatly appreciated. I'd really like to start enjoying it instead of getting headaches with it.
