So it was raining earlier today and i just put in the new diaphram in my carb and took it out for a spin to see how it ran. There were some wet leaves before a stop sign and when i was breaking my wheels locked up and slipped on the leaves. I skidded with the scooter for a while, thank god there were no cars coming because i skidded past the stop sign into the middle of the road. I got up and wasn't hurt to badly. I do have a good amount of road rash though but nothing like broken bones or anything like that thankfully. The scooter was pretty fine. It started up after a few tries and after a little throttle started to idle. It is running fine but unfortunately did get scratched up. I come to all of you forum goers for two things with this post. Please watch out for wet leaves and poor conditions in general and drive cautiously. Tis could have been a lot worse than it was. And also if any of you know how to do paint repair or how much scooters cost if i wanted a proffesional paint job? I could try to order new panels if I could find the, as well. I love my scoot, I named her Kaitlyn and want her lookin back like the day I got her.

Worked like a charm! That dremel trick was perfect! So I put in the new diaphram and the only problem left is when I rev it twice and make it go vroom vroom, the rpms drop very low for a second almost about to die and then go back to normal.

Ok, in the morning i will see if i can get that stripped screw out of the new carb to replace the diaphram. Now is there a better main jet to use? The #80 didn't perform well so what is your suggestion oh wise Alleyoop ?

Ok cool. Thanks so much for your help. Now i just gotta fix my breaks

The stock jet in the NEW carb was not marked, the stock jet in the OLD carb that i put into the new carb was marked with 83 on it. Ok i will turn the mixture mixture up a little bit more and see if that helps. Cause after bolding the throttle for a a little while it will idle fine.

I had already done that but these screws were in there really really good. So the scooter already runs better with new main et and pilot jet in. The old main jet in the original carb was actually a #83 main jet. So do you think i could go up a size then? Or leave it at that and try to put the new needle in? Also i am having a problem with the idle. When i start it it starts for a second and then dies because it isn't getting enough fuel so i have to keep it revved for a little whole before it can run on it's own. Now i tried upping the idle speed but then the idle is wayyyyyy to fast after the engine is warmed up.any suggestions?

You got it! I will do that soon!
