Will it fit stock cases? We would like to see some tech on the build when you do it. I think it's a long over due retrofit!

Let me start by saying thank you to Alleyoop, Bashan and Tvnacman for all the support. Now I'm sure that it's a fuel problem or a vacume leak. Now I'll say that everything is stock but the stator upgrade I got from Tvnacman and that went off like a fox in a hen house. I could not be happier with that! I know that has nothing to do with my problem either. Now a little on me......I have been a mechanic all of my 38 years. I was born in a puddle of grease haha! I am also a nuclear cert. welder so the mechanical aptitude ain't a prob. Now I can't find that ACV diaphragm any where on the net. Does anyone know where to get one by itself? I ordered a carb kit 2 days ago and it will be here on the 27th but I could not find a kit with a ACV diaphragm. The carb is a Dashun #PD24J. I know I can get a carb cheap but it done pissed me off and if she wants to act like one then I will treat her like one!

Not supposed to be fuel on top "outside" of ACV diaphragm right? Then it bleeds to vacume right? Attachments:

It's still doing it a little but I thought I might tune it out now cause it did make a diff bypassing the pet cock. If I need it where can I get the ACV diaphragm by it self. I already ordered a rebuild kit yesterday that does not have it. Has everything else tho ie. needle and slide, jets, float and needle valve, mixture screw ect...... Thanks guys for all your help!

I think you might have hit the nail on the head. I thought It strange that when I took off the diaphragm cap that the top side of the diaphragm was wet with fuel. That's where I got the pin hole idea from. I'm gonna bypass it and let it gravity feed and plug the vac line and see what happens.

 this is going to be a long post. This thing was running great when I left Knoxville Tn headed home to Aiken SC. Ran fine for a few days after. Went out the other day to the store and from the time I left the house it started coughing at WOT. It's an Eagle 150 06 model 157QMJ. So I was thinking bad fuel cause I filled it from a gas can when I got home. That gas has been sittin for 2months or so. So I went and got fresh fuel and drained the tank and float bowl. No water in the gas so I said well hell. Pulled the carb and cleaned and inspected it and it's a good thing I did. Some dumb a** was in there before me and used a hard setting sealant on the bowl o-ring and it was chipping off and floating in the bowl. So I said to myself....self you found it. Yay!!! Striped the carb, dunked it and cleaned it up with a wire brush. Re assymbled it and no good. It's still doing it. Next was a valve adjustment at TDC. The exhaust was tight with no lash so I thought I may have found it. Wrong! Got rid of that pos torch spark plug, changed fuel filter and adjusted the mixture screw per Ally's method and specs. To no avail. No vacume leaks that I can find. The diaphragm seems to be pullin the slide up all the way at WOT. At this point I think I will completely rebuild the carb cause it might have a pin hole in the diaphragm. Maybe to much WOT from Tn to SC. 281 miles. Any ideas guys?

A pleasure to do business with. I was stuck 281 miles from home and I found john on this site. I had problems finding a "center taped 8 pole stator" also known I think as a half wave stator. Several shops around me had never seen one and no one could get it. John suggested that I convert to an 11 pole 3 phase since a was running an GPS also. Man he was there for me all the way. With his tech support the conversion was painless. As I said a pleasure! We will do business agian.

Got mine at advance auto. My scoot uses a standard 194 as I think most do. They are small plug in type.

Scoot is my only means of transportation. Looking for some opinions on what you guys think is the best winter gear. And where to get it. Thanks.

But with ac voltage only going to the rectifier and everything from there being DC do I still need one?

Good point on the auto choke. I'm doing away with it and the lights will be converted to DC. The resistor plugs to one green/black. When I test that wire it ohms out to ground. The one wire resistor ohms out 6.1 so I don't know. I shouldn't need it anyway cause I have fabed a direct injection for cold starts with a primer bulb like on a weed whacker and a small nozzle in the intake tube right in front of the carb. Works great! I am going to block of the fuel circuit in the carb for the auto choke. My system might be old school but it has not failed in 3 months. Thanks for the info man!
