Wow, that's pretty cheap...When I get paid for doing my web design, I'll probably just buy that one. But as of right now it doesn't appear to be causing any problems beside the fuel infinitely leaking out and eventually just filling the carb. It's not overflowing the carb or anything like that.

Well my petcock isn't leaking, but it doesn't stop fuel from flowing, however. I think the case with this is that my gasket was in wrong, so the fuel was leaking from my carb, and as a result of my petcock not stopping the flow of fuel, it would just leak from the carb and the carb would constantly stay full and never stop leaking.

I think I have a bad pet cock, seeing if I take my fuel line off it POURS gas and won't stop. But it's always been like that..I've just been too broke to get a new one.

Either somebody has been siphoning my gas tank when I'm not looking, or the fact that I've lost a half a tank of fuel over a 7 hour period and a strong smell of gasoline in the garage says I have a leak -_-

It's a 139QMB engine. It doesn't have a specific model, but it does look like the TaoTao VIP (the one with two headlights, not one). I have not yet swapped out the regulator, as I didn't think it would make a difference, but I have a few regulators I can throw around.

It's not the CDI. We have tested several.

Okay, well I took my multimeter and did a continuity test. I put one probe on the black wire coming from the ignition and then the other probe onto the frame of the bike, and it reads 0.00-0.01. Does that sound right?

But in this case, both the killswitch and ignition fail to kill the engine as if the ground was completely missing, but if the ground was missing, all the other electrical systems would fail, would they not?

Anybody know what kind of lights I need for my dashboard? I have a few burned out and I don't want to tear it all apart and then put it back together if the bulbs are universal. Or maybe it's just like all the other chinese stuff and there is no specific parts for anything  |

This has been going on for quite a while now, but most of the time, my brothers killswitch and ignition do not function at all, in any combination. As if it's not grounding the CDI's spark (which is probably the scenario). But here's the weird part: If I unplug and replug in the small 2-wire (black and black/red) connection from the CDI, the bike will die, and then if I plug it back in, the killswitch and ignition will work UNTIL you raise the RPM's. Once you hit about 2000 RPM and try to kill it, it will surge down but then will come back up as if it's not grounded and it will stay like that until I unplug those wires again. If I let it sit at idle however, the killswitch and ignition will continue to work.
Weird...right?

I'm sure I've mentioned how my brothers Vespa Piaggio Ciao doesn't run somewhere in here. And seeing how you guys got the Razz running, I am hoping you can help with this as well! Keep in kind that this Vespa is an actual "moped" with pedals (does that violate the "Scooter"doc rules? ). The problem with this thing is that you pedal to start it and it won't stay running. If you pedal fast enough the bike will actually fire (we can only hear it with the muffler off) as long as you keep pedaling, but the throttle has no effect, and if you stop pedaling the bike also seizes to run. Not sure if it's a carb or motor issue. But a little bit of help on where to look would be great appreciated! |

Little bit. It only hurts if I bend it now but I can walk on it without pain for the most part.

We just helped a friend. We had a 3-person riding thing going on last summer before it broke. So we wanted to get it back up and running so we could all ride together. Since we got it running last night, we all went out riding today. I should get the action cam video that my brother took of us all riding and post it here.
