Hello.

I am having some trouble getting my scooter to run idle. i can get it to run but not idle.

I have done everything i can think of.

Here is an image of my carburetor and i was wondering if someone could tell me what number is what. i think i know what is what but i need to make sure.

Also the golden connector labeled number 6 is clogged, and i can not blow air threw it no matter what i do. this is connected to a line that seems to go down and inside the engine.

i need to know what is what of those numbers so i am sure that i am connecting it the correct way.

any help would be greatly appreciated :)

i am new to the forums :)

my ideas are:
1: manual choke
2: vacuum line
3: gasoline intake
4: gas throttle
5: no idea
6: no idea

and like i said, i can get it running as long as i keep turn the gas up.. but it wont idle.

regards, hedinn.

My Zuma carb is different than that one, but I can help you in the right direction. If 2 is a vacuum line, then 6 is your oil feed line from the oil pump. (The hose that goes "down into the engine.")

Your other guesses are correct, and 5 is not used I believe.

Do not run the engine if the oil feed is blocked or disconnected, you will seize the engine and then have to buy a new cylinder kit.
