First Ride Today -- No speed control/Fuel leak

[Venice Motor Bikes]

The carb slider needs to go down a lot more at 'loose throttle'!!
When the engine starts, it's going to rev way too high!!

It's hard to tell, but it looks like the carb slider might be in wrong.

Here's a good thread with lots of instructions on how to assemble the carb properly...

Hey thanks for the help guys! I got it all figured out, un-assembled, then re-assembled my entire throttle/carb assembly, not sure what I did differently but it's perfect now. : )

My new "RAIDER" fuel line will be here Friday, so I'll make sure my that's all nice and tight and non-leak free.

Twist some galvanised iron wire around the places where the fuel lines meet the nozzles.

I'm glad you got it handled!

Be sure to mix the gas & oil at 24:1 for the first 2 gallons, then change it to 32:1 for the rest of the bikes life. (Email me if you have any other questions).

That is great that it has worked out for you. Have fun riding.

So I got the fuel line today http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ZTGLFC/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00


So as I was trying to connect the fuel line to the gas tank, I noticed the smell of gasoline (some was still in the tank, but the valve was off and the cap was closed). But the gas cap started leaking. It seemed to have a dent...

1.) I want to get this thing riding tomorrow, if I go to some auto shop will they have these kinds of gas caps/what do I ask for?) OR is there a temporary way for me to cover the tank until the one I order coems in the mail?

2.) Is fuel line supposed to be difficult to put on? With the stock fuel line it was really easy, but with this 3/16", it seems almost impossible. I got it on, but not exactly to my full satisfaction...
