So decided not to remove carb after consulting several shops. But I did call ScooterWest.com and after telling me "Dude, shut up and listen"LOL, I was told that the Piaggio Typhoons all come with a charcoal cannister for CA EPA emission standards and that many have the same problem as myself due to overfilling the tank and the cannister causes vapor lock in the carb float. He said to remove the cannister, or put holes in it and I spoke to the shop that I'm taking it to tomorrow about that and they said its possible and they would remove it for me if that was the issue. While I'm swallowing my Doityourself Scootdawg pride by taking it to a shop for the first time since being a proud member, I admit defeat! Chinese scoots are much easier, yet I don't miss my Quinqui 50cc, cause I was working on it all the time. My Piaggio never ran better than today with the new plug, rollers etc.(that I did myself) but this fuel issue is a real stumper!!
