Alleyoop, that answers a couple of different questions. It's a new scooter, I've only had it for a couple months. But it's chinese and seems to have a lot of cheap parts. So I looked at the gas cap and thought the gasgate on my old scooters cap looks to be of a better manufacture quality. So I switched them. If this doesn't fix it, I'll drill that 1/16 hole you suggested.

That's a pretty smooth solution Davec. It assuages my main fear of dealing with that crazy cap.

Does anyone know where the fuel vent is on a 150cc scooter? I cannot see one in the neck under the cap. Is it the cap itself? Some discussions seem to indicate this. The impression I get is that fuel vents on scooters can be tempermental in different temperatures. I would like to discover a fix that would allow use in the widest range of temperatures.
Also, should I be worried about accidentally spilling vodka on the carbuetor?

Yeah, it does seem to need to sort of 'catch its breath.' I don't understand it. But now I'll look into this fuel vent you mentioned. Thank you.

Yeah, I watched a video showing how to do that. I've just been feeling squeamish about it. But I can see that I really need to get that lousy cap off. Thanks.

 I'm new here. This is my goer, my milkshake, Rickety Cricket. It's Chinese. It has narcolepsy. But it's pretty and it goes, most of the time. I'll be coming here to cry a river when I can't fix it. Apparently the link to the picture doesn't work. What else is freaking new? |

My scooter has narcolepsy. It sometimes dies. To cope with this, I got in the habit of adjusting the idle screw. I open the gas cap, put it back on, and tighten the idle screw a bit. That usually gets it going again. I think I need to get to the air/fuel screw for a more permanent fix, but it's covered with a brass or copper cap.
Why is the air/fuel screw covered? Is it for my own good?
