Hi guys, I repaired someone’s scooter and would like to know what they would be charged for the repair if done at a shop, etc. Here’s what I did: Removed and cleaned tank (no rust, but water and dirt) Replaced fuel petcock Replaced fuel filter Cleaned carb Lubricated throttle cable
Not trying to charge the person but would just like to know. Also I realize since I’m no professional it took me quite a while to do everything.

Would take maybe 2hrs to complete. New filter 10 bucks. Some brake cleaner 5 bucks. Petcock 20 bucks. Small stuff like hose clamps 10 bucks. Gasket set for the carb 20 bucks. Hourly rate for a moped/bike shop maybe 60-80 n hour? Not sure whats a realistic price over there in the usa. It would say to keep 200-250 bucks total in the back of your head. Could be less or way more if parts are worn or broken. Why not call a shop and ask? How you dismantled the entire carb and put the parts in a ultrasonic cleaner?
