Maybe he, she, they sugared your tank. You fuel will flow fine, but the jets would be jacked.

Thanks Bashan. With my tanks setup, the clearance is very tight. I think I'm gonna plug it completely and drill the cap. I never fill my tank all of the way. There's a brace in there I fill to. I don't know what the volume is, but the gauge reads full. Either way, I work only 3.5 miles away. I'll post with the results after I get to that mod.
Thanks for the advice.

Right on! Thanks John!
I will do that. My only concern, is that the cap is enclosed within/under the seat. The bucket area may smell of gas, but it does have an escape. More or less just a preference, not a concern.

Thanks for the response Rich! I had you until the "U" thing. I'm a picture person, mostly. I was thinking of drilling a 1mm hole in the top of the cap. Off of the tank, of course! Sound good?
Thanks again!

I want to remove all unnecessary vacuum lines.
I will keep the carb line.
I am switching to a manual petock.
My conundrum: What to do with the gas tanks vapor tube. The one that goes to a one-way valve and then on to the emission system canister (which I want to remove).
So far any kind of vapor lock has not been an issue. My gas cap is not ventilated.
Could I just seal it up and just remove the gas cap every now and again?
Thanks.

One other thing, when I went from 13 gram rollers to 13 gram slider my RPMs dropped by about 1000. No joke, I have been watching them. Now instead of 5000-6000 accelerating to 30+ I am at 4000-5000.

I have the exact same scooter. When that happened to me, it was a loose CDI wire. Now, it may not be the same issue, but double check the CDI connections. Not the white plug, but the actual wires going into the white plugs. My decided to die while I was messing with the idle screw, so it threw me off. Don't let the gas situation jade into not looking elsewhere.
Also, my fuel filter was installed backwards, from the factory. Just an FYI.

The OEM rollers from my 150cc were in pretty good shape, and 13 grams. I replaced them with 13 gram sliders and noticed an immediate improvement in take off (smoothness) and acceleration. Just my .02¢. I also replaced the entire variator assembely, so there are probably several contibuting factors.
