 250 JCL scooter wont idle, and fuel coming out of carb. Will idle for short while after start up. Then when its starting to die if you keep throttling it fuel begins to come out of this black hose on left side, opposite of the throttle cable. Bike had not been parked for more than two days before this happened. I really need help this is my primary way to work. I have no mechanical skills so I would also appreciate photos showing exactly what needs to be done. Attachments:

First: If it's dying during idle, either the idling screw needs to be tightened or the valves need to be adjusted. You can check out how to do either idling screw adjustment or valve adjust in the "how-to and information database" threads connected to the Scootdawg home page.
Second: These Chinese fuel and vacuum hoses really suck. One of the best things you could do for your scooter at this point is change all the vacuum and fuel hoses out with 3/16" diameter hoses from your local auto parts store, and use the screw tightened hose clamps rather than the spring loaded brass clamps that you have on there now. This would be my best guess for why you have gas leaking out, however, someone else may have a better answer.

Sounds like the float level is set to high thus allowing gas to be pumped into the float bowl and flowing out the overflow tube. My 2 cents worth

The floats could just be stuck though - you might try tapping the carb a few times with a hammer and see if it stops. I'd still take the carb apart to clean/check/adjust the floats. |

Sorry I don't but I assure you when you find one there won't be a hammer involved...
