I've took my project scooter out today and had it die a mile into my ride. It has done this before and I think I've got it narrowed down to a fuel delivery problem. I installed a new petcock and clear fuel lines to see what's happening. Every time it dies, there is little to no fuel in the line just before it goes into the carb.
I have a brand new gas cap which is extremely tight. I'm wondereing if it's not venting properly. Where is the vent? What else could it be?

the tank usually vents to the charcoal canister might try unplugging it. make sure your fuel filter line to the carb is in a angle direction. might help. you can also adjust idle a little higher as well.

Had it out tonight for a test run. No problems! I loosened the gas cap to provide some venting.. seems to have worked. This scooter doesn't have any emissions stuff on it, I don't know if it was taken off or was never on there. I'll have to find a more permanent solution to the venting.

I was looking over the old gas cap and discovered a hole, the replacement doesn't have one. Revelation: the replacement is for newer model years with emissions equipment. The 04 didn't have this so venting was on the cap itself. Looks like an easy fix.

good to hear you found the problem. i was gonna tell you to drill a hole in the gas cap to vent it.
