Mikuni float needle

[fitzgr8]

I just acquired a Qlink star 50 scooter and was wondering if anyone out there might have a part # for the float needle on this carb? The carb bore measures 18.6mm and has JET50 stamped  just below where the slide cover plate attaches to the carb. 

Thanks,
Fitz

This may work. Hard to be certain with these scoots sometimes. Take a look and see if it looks like the parts of your carb.

You can probably locate other rebuild kits or float needles for these Chinese scoots as well. Otherwise you may need to replace the entire carb or find a QLink dealer.

So I got the new needle and now the carb overflows gas. Does anyone know what the float height should be? Also, should I be able to blow through the fuel valve? I think that might be my problem.

Thanks

Yep lower it till it stops leaking fuel ! Most Chinese scooters have no serious service manuals because they use so many different parts suppliers for the same product or model .. One model scooter may have 3 different carbs it uses . Basically when one supplier runs out they just move on and use a new supplier that makes it hard on us ! lol

Figured it out. The o-ring on the seat was bad causing gas to slip by it flooding the carb. Replaced the o-ring, filled it up with gas and it started right up with no problems.
