General Discussion / Re: fuel flow question

Thanks for all the advice from everyone..  I took off petcock filter and it had a lot of rust/gunk inside.  I cleaned out with gasoline.  I charged the battery.  The scooter starts and will idle for a short time.  If I try to slowly rev it dies.  I checked the fuel flow to the carburettor and that seems to be flowing OK.  Is it most likely that the carburettor needs to be cleaned?

Tortoise, thank you for the child aspirator tip.  It worked well.
Today I will test spark and fuel flow.  Thx.

I have a Kymco 50cc Super Fever that was left abandoned at my son's house.  I think that it may have a fuel/carbureter issue.  I disconnected the fuel line just above the fuel filter so that I could drain the tank and put in fresh fuel.  The fuel is only dribbling out at a very slow pace - a drop every couple of seconds.  Shouldn't the flow be faster than this?  Might the fuel petcock need to be cleaned or replaced?  If it needs to be cleaned, any advice on how to clean it?  Can you think of anything else that might be causing a blockage?
