Take a few deep slow breaths.

O.K., What I am about to tell you requires no mechanical genius. You changed the fuel filter so you know where the fuel line is. Follow the fuel line to the carb disconnect the fuel line and place the end of the line in a jar or something else to catch gasoline. Once you have done this crank the engine for a few seconds. If you get no fuel in the jar follow the fuel line to the fuel pump it will look something like this,

or like this,

There are three hoses attached to the fuel pump, a fuel in, a fuel out, and a vacuum line. Make sure all the lines are securely attached, and follow the vacuum line to the carb and make sure the vacuum line is secure there as well. Test again by cranking the engine. If you get fuel in the jar the problem should be solved, reattach the fuel hose to the carb and crank the engine, it should start. If you do not get fuel in the jar, the fuel pump is the problem and it will need to be replaced.

If you get fuel to flow to the jar (after removing the line from the carb) and the engine does not get gas something is wrong with the carb and it is time to make a carb help post.

I get a similar result on my bike. But it is from men, and, they moon me.

How many times do you need to be told not to exaggerate? (Perhaps two million times?)

But, on point. The last time I kitted a 50cc two stroke I started with an 86 jet and then went to an 84, but, that was going with a 65cc kit not a 70cc kit. You may want to start with an 88 jet and see where you should go from there.

I knew that many of the dealers, and importers, with a lesser reputation have left the market. I did not realize that the majority of the scooter was for the smaller size. I just hope that there is enough demand for the 250acc scooters to come back.

By the way, I have just noticed today that searching the net for Scooter Depot does not result in finding their web site. The complaints about them are still there, just no web site.

Oh, how I did love the location of the oil filter on a Rambler I had.

You could go this route.

Or, see about getting the top end for the 200-4t from Europe.

Or, see this. . .

I have no experience with either bike, but, I would go with the Honda Elite. Why? Well that bike has an odd clunky look that is cool in its own way.
