Hey All,

Let the fun begin. Any help would really be appreciated.

I'm a newbie to scooters. I bought a 2006 250cc Tank Urban Touring and love it. It reads around 5000 miles (if accurate). Until recently a few problems like th speed-o-cable broke and the fuel level sending unit went out but otherwise a good scooter. On the last trip, the scooter stalled and would not restart. It seems to be a vac or coolant line on the carb that came off, but I'm not sure which. You can see the two fitings the line joined in the pic.

Doesn't make sense that the scooter will not even start if its just the coolant line. I put it back on the scooter and it started and ran fine. 10 miles or so later the scooter stalled again. It was the same line that had come off.

Would anyone know what specific motor is in this scooter? I find a lot of manuals for 250cc motors but I'm not sure which is correct or what motor to buy parts for.

Are the two fittings in the pic part of the cooling system or vac system? After checking I noticed the radiator line to the overflow tank was kinked in two places. Would this cause the line to blow off the carb or something else?

I found the engine does not have a thermostat in the housing. It never ran hot the way it is (unless that is what caused this problem). Does this motor need the thermostat to run correctly?

There is a line on a fitting at the bottom of the carb, by the drain screw that is not connected to anything else. Is this for draining purposes or does it need to be connected to something?

Any explanation of the lines on the carb would be a really big help.
