    If your scooter has a vacuum operated fuel pump, you need more hose and connections , your description is correct if you have a scooter without a fuel pump, using only gravity feed to the carburetor

    • @LabCoatPaul
      @LabCoatPaul  Год назад +3

      That's correct. Scooters with the gas tank in the floorboard will have a fuel pump, and scooters with the gas tank mounted higher than the carburetor don't need a fuel pump.

    I just got a BMS Prestige 150 which is CARB compliant. First thing I did was remove all the PAIR/EVAP crap, the stock air box and installed a NIbbi intake tube with a UNI foam filter. I ended up with a shit load of hoses vales and canisters which I tossed in a box. Valve cover vent hose I just stuck into the air filter until I install the oil catch can inline. As far as the gas tank vent hose, I just cut it short and stuck a small filter on the end. I dont think I would route the tank vent hose back into the intake unless it had a vented gas cap. The tank has to be allowed to breath as the fuel level changes. Routing the vent hose back into the intake would pull a vacuum on the tank which could cause fuel flow issues. I bought a nice fuel cutoff switch to replace the petcock but I decided to leave the petcock in place for now. I just dont trust the valves in the carb alone to hold back the fuel when the engine is off.

      hi and question on taking the pair out. the question is can I reroute the crankcase vent hose to the intake hose at my intake manifold rather than taking it to the front side of the carburetor?

    So i got a POS chinese scooter for free and shes running great, thanks to your full rundown of the "fix everything" video of chinese scooters. I did notice from this video that my crankcase ventilation has a tiny hole at the top but nothing is connected to it. No hoses or anything. The scooter runs great tho. Should i leave it how it is or do you think its necessary to get a hose leading to the airbox or air pod

    Thank you for you videos ,,,I have 150cc chinese scooter, running great, new carb, I decided to do an upgrade and add a uni intake, I used a custom raidiator hose to fit under the frame,and remove some emisions, and stock airbox, I changed main jet from 103 to 108 and no matter where I move the idle or mixture screw, it starts, then just dies and after 30 secs no warning, it gets very boggy on throttle and when I took it down the street it was not as fast and was a bit "chuggy" and "bucky" this happened with 100, 105 and 125 main jet, the vaccum hose from the manifold is connected the same and the PCV and the other emisions vent that were going into the old air box are just vented into the air and zip tied to the frame, do have any idea what happened? The scooter was running great before I did a few things, could it be the needle? what do you think?

    Hey Paul, thanks for the vidz. But, I'm still having problems. I've got my lines exactly the way you do except mine still won't start without being bottle fed fuel. Then once that runs out it dies. Or sometimes it'll stay idling fir a few seconds lo ger giving me enough time to pull the throttle but as soon as I start to turn the throttle it immediately dies out. I'm racking my brain trying to figure this out. I did not hook up my enricher either. Surely that's not the problem I would t think. Plus it looks like the oil from the valve cover is feeding down through the gas line filter. It went from yellowish to gold almost brown. I'm super lost on this right now. 50cc gy6, new carb, new cylinder, head and piston. Rings are clocked to spec. Valve lash is set. New cdi, stator, flywheel, coil, plug and wire,fresh non ethanol premium and still same thing. Starts if I hold my hand over the backside of the carb but soo dies as well. I'm frustrated to say the least

    • @LabCoatPaul
      @LabCoatPaul  Год назад

      You might be running too lean. Check to see if there is an air leak between the carburetor and engine. Make sure your intake manifold has the spacer that goes between the manifold and head. If you're running the stock carburetor, the idle enricher should be connected.
      It's possible your new carburetor has the wrong size jets for your engine too.

    Besides the vacuum hoses that you explained, there are two
    other thicker black hoses on my Evo 150cc Taotao scooter. They start off at the
    right-hand side of the scooter. One of those hoses goes to the front of the
    scooter's where it is connected to the engine. The other thicker black hose is
    connected to what looks like a black canister at the right-hand side of the
    scooter's frame. It is located on the frame between the fuel tank and the
    ignition high-performance coil box. However, at its end, this thicker black
    hose (about double the size of the other vacuum lines) is not connected to
    anything on my scooter and is just hanging by itself. I am suspecting that it
    is the reason why the scooter is not starting. Also, on the left-hand side of
    the scooter's frame, there is what looks like another black canister which has
    two hose connections, one small another one bigger, but then there are no hoses
    connected to it. I suspect that the lose thicker black hose that is dangling in
    the middle of the scooter fell off from that. May that be the case? However, I
    don't want to connect that hose to the black canister on the left side of the
    scooter because I am not sure that it is supposed to be connected there. So
    far, I have searched in vain and have not found a RUclips video with an
    explanation of the purpose for those thicker black hoses on the scooter. Are
    they part of the scooter 's vacuum system? Please advise. I look forward to
    hearing from you. Your explanation will be highly appreciated.

    • @LabCoatPaul
      @LabCoatPaul  5 лет назад +1

      The big fat hoses and canister are your evaporative emissions system. Theoretically, the evap system takes fuel vapors from your carburetor and gas tank and stores them so they don't evaporate into the air.
      What really happens is all that stuff is very low quality and doesn't work, so you're getting fuel vapors out into the air anyway, probably flooding the engine, and you might have some vacuum leaks too. Just rip all that stuff out, and keep only the minimum number of hoses mentioned in this video.

If you drop your scooter and it doesn't have a petcock, it will spill the entire contents of the gas tank through the carburetor, on to the ground.

    Paul, I think you helped me out with a small problem I'm having. I transferred to a UNI air filter from an under the seat filter on my Tao Tao Lancer 150. The old filter had an extra line coming from the plastic ext. hose that connected the air filter and the carb. I removed that line and put a cap on it and that was a " no no" it started leaking a little gas on my CVT cover. I now see that it must be run back into the UNI filter, is this correct? Currently it runs from my engine head to a "T" connector and all the we way back to the end of my CVT cover. I vented the line today and can actually see the vapors, which I assume should be going back into my UNI. No wonder I had big problems with cold starts, been using a lot of starter fluid.

    • @LabCoatPaul
      @LabCoatPaul  6 лет назад +1

      The valve cover should be vented to the air filter. This will suck up crankcase vapors. The gearbox hose (the one at the back of the CVT cover) does not need to go anywhere in particular. This just protects the final drive gear seals from leaking when the temperature changes, because it equalizes pressure.

    • @kachiskid

    Hi Paul...you seem to understand these scooters. I was wondering if you could give us some advice. I have a peace sport 50cc that isn't getting gas right now. It started out with different issues and we are troubleshooting and replacing parts, and now the gas isn't moving. We have replaced the carburetor, fuel lines, fuel filter, cleaned air filter, changed oil, changed gear oil, replaced cdi, and we bought a replacement fuel valve switch, but the nut was put on upside-down to what we need and the threads don't match up. The threads we need to hook up to the gas tank is on the opposite side and they flared that so the nut won't come off. What we have noticed is there is no gas moving from the gas tank to the fuel filter. (that's why we ordered the fuel valve switch thinking it wasn't working right) I'm wondering if it's a vacuum problem? Can you give us any advice or suggestions?

    • @LabCoatPaul
      @LabCoatPaul  9 лет назад

      +Julie Crispin The fuel valve that bolts on the fuel tank has a vacuum line. It's a safety feature. When the engine is running, vacuum opens the valve, and fuel can go to the carburetor. Often times this part can be bad (even if it's new), and will leak fuel or air and not let fuel through. You can simply drill through it and cap the vacuum port. Then you'll have all the fuel you need.

    • @LabCoatPaul
      @LabCoatPaul  2 года назад

      The fuel petcock has a vacuum hose going to it that opens the valve when the engine is running. It's a safety feature. If you drop your scooter and the engine is off, the fuel will stop coming out of the gas tank (unless your gas cap leaks). You'll need to cap off that vacuum port at the intake manifold.
      Without a petcock, if your fuel inlet valve in the carburetor gets stuck open, you'll get a puddle of gas under the scooter and it will be hard to start, but once you get going it will run ok.
      I don't recommend removing the fuel petcock, but as long as the fuel inlet valve works fine, you should be OK.

      Ron King Scooters with carburetors don't have a fuel pump. The part that has a vacuum hose is a fuel safety shutoff valve. Engine vacuum opens a diaphragm that allows fuel to go to the carburetor. It doesn't pump the fuel. It just shuts off the fuel when the engine is off. It prevents spilling gas if you crash your scooter.

    • @davefancella
      @davefancella 3 года назад +1

      That's not entirely true. If the fuel tank is below the engine, there's a vacuum powered fuel pump. In that case, use the other port in your intake for the fuel pump, or use a T fitting if you only have one port in your intake.
      I've had both kinds. ;)

    ok, my hose set up is confusing and im trying to simplify it to get my scooter started... I have 2 lines coming from the top of the fuel tank, one on the left and one closer to the center. The hose on the left just goes straight to the petcock on the port that points away (the one that's most by itself looking) The hose coming from the center goes to a T connector which branches off to both the petcock (the port that points forward, not the bottom port) and the bottom of the carb. Lastly we have the lower port on the petcock, which goes to a T connector for the intake manifold and the top of the carb. Now let me get this layman... I'm supposed to take the center tank line, to a filter, straight to the bottom of the carb. Then on the carb I connect the upper port to the port on the intake manifold. Then for the left tank line I... I think that's it for fuel lines lol. The EGR stuff I get, just gotta find my one way PCV it's prolly in the air box I took it off and went with a cone filter... There's a third port at the top of the tank, by the gas cap, that looks like it's prolly the evap, but it's capped off...

    should the vaccum hose leak gas when i remove it? i believe my hoses are clogged it's been sitting for about 2 months without start now I am having trouble getting it started or when i do get it started it wont accelerate. do you think it's cloggeed

    • @LabCoatPaul
      @LabCoatPaul  7 лет назад +1

      That depends on which vacuum hose you're talking about. If you're talking about the one that runs along side the fuel inlet hose, that goes to the bottom of the fuel petcock (on or near gas tank), then it could be the cause of your problems. The fuel petcock is a vacuum operated valve that allows fuel to flow from the gas tank to the carburetor only when the engine is turning. The rubber diaphragm inside can go bad, and you'll get gas in the vacuum system, and not enough gas in the fuel inlet of the carburetor. This can cause hard starting, bad acceleration, or just make the scooter not run.

    Do you have a link or blueprint of how the fuel line goes on? Also is the scooter in the video a 50 or 49cc?

    • @LabCoatPaul
      @LabCoatPaul  6 лет назад

      The scoot in the picture is a 150cc. The fuel line is simple. Gas tank has a vacuum operated valve on it. Line goes to fuel filter, then to carburetor. If your gas tank is in the floor, your tank hose goes to a round pump thing mounted on the frame (that has a vacuum hose), then to a filter, then to carburetor.

    Could you re-do this video to be longer with more explanations? Some things are confusing. First, why do you need to feed crankcase fumes back to intake? Why do you need one way valve there at all? Secondly, you show that all you need for a vacuum is one hose to jump 2 locations. What about the peacock valve, doesn't it need vacuum, did you make the fuel feed by gravity only? So many questions. I am still hazy, why did you need to bridge those 2 vacuum points on the carb... Also, about feeding crankcase fumes back to intake, you are feeding fumes that no longer have oxygen because it was burned off, this defeats the use for intake that adds oxygen to fuel mixture. If you add gas that no longer has 20% oxygen, you are fiddling with the proper oxygen to fuel mixture.

I seen a hose sticking straight down by the kick start... it only leaks gas when I kick start it but no leak when I try to start it with the start button. I looked under the scooter and I a evap canister.. does that hose go to the evap canister?? if so which tube does it connect to? one is bigger than the other.. or does the hose even go to that canister?? idk please help

    • @LabCoatPaul
      @LabCoatPaul  7 лет назад

      You should take the carburetor out, and put a rubber cap over the lowest port on the carburetor instead of the hose. It's the carburetor float bowl drain. It sounds like the hose on yours is leaking. You can also check out my carburetor tuning video for a closer look at the carburetor here: ruclips.net/video/6EYTQsi1YJc/видео.html

      Check your hoses for cracks and replace the hoses if needed. If the hoses don't leak, but fuel leaks out of the carburetor, you may have a stuck inlet valve. Remove the carburetor from the scooter and remove the float bowl. You can then check the operation of the inlet valve.
