1988 Elite Carburetor Gaskets and Fuel Petcock
Posted: Tue Nov 27, 2018 5:19 pm
Good afternoon!! I’m a new guy with a recently acquired 1988 elite es. I have what appears to be the common fuel
leak from the carburetor. I’ve read on here about the float needle leaking, as well as the petcock. Can anyone tell me if I can find a float bowl o ring or gasket set for this carb? I think the nq50 float bowl o ring will work, but I’m not sure. I was checking some things today and noticed that the vacuum port on the petcock was blocked off, and not attached to the intake. The scooter runs well, so I don’t know if I have to run a new hose. I’m going to do the vacuum check on the petcock to check for possible leaks as well. Does the vacuum line need to be connected?
