My kids Gio 50CC has decided to cause us some issues...

It takes FOREVER to get it running... Choke doesn't work at all... tipping it up on its front wheels seems to help... but seriously, it's a pain to start... even tried starter fluid...

Once it's going, it's easy to start.. .but the original start... sometimes It's easier just to forget it...

I was gonna buy a new carb off Ebay, but figured if I could find a rebuild kit or exploded view of how it should look, maybe I can fix this one.

The guy who had it before me had it off and I was wondering if maybe he put it back together wrong?

One other symtom is that the line from the bottom of the float bowl, contantly leaks fuel... I have ot bend it up to stop...

So... any suggestions... Please !

 

Hia.

Between me and my neighbor we have 6 gio quads, we have found out (the hard way) its just cheaper and easier to buy a new carb, Stock ones are only about $50. They can be tempermental but fun!!!!
