My scooter is leaking gas from fuel line clamp broke don't know where it goes or to replace it Welcome to the foum. Once you get the plastics off the scoot, it should be easy to see where the fuel line is routed. You can get replacement fuel line at the auto parts store fairly cheap along with clamps. Just make sure that the line is fuel rated. Easy fix that you should have no problem doing yourself  |

 Usually you can look up under the back of the scoot and see part or all of the fuel system. Removing the seat (usually 4 bolts/nuts) should give better access if you can't see it otherwise. Most likely it won't be too tough to diagnose once you can see it. Just look for the area that's wet. Small engine shops are another source for small fuel hose and clamps.

 While you have access to the fuel line it is not a bad idea to change out the fuel filter if it has not been done in a while. Once you have the seat bucket out, you will be looking right at it...at least it is that way on my 49cc Chinese scoot. Bill

I would ask or look for Tygon brand(yellow)fuel line. This stuff is your best defense against today's fuels and additives that destroy conventional fuel lines(rubber). Don't be fooled by cheap imitations(pvc line). Most auto parts stores or small engine shops will carry this.

At first, I thought it was a guy on a bicycle but then realized it was some poor bastard on a scoot! Holly Crap! In the morning, I am checking my front wheel bolt for tightness. Bill |

Bill gets the credit for sharing this one. 49ccscoot.proboards.com/thread/15257/tsimis-video-clip-corner?page=3Or youtube vid here. It looks like he hits a ramp made of "transparent aluminum".(for all the Star Trek fans) Be honest I think he was trying to do a stoppie, and things went wrong. I still get a chuckle every time I see it. I found a gif of that "moment" and made it my avatar. Its not me. I will never have a scoot that wheelies.  |
