Anyone know where I can get the manual for a 2003 Derbi Boulevard or in a pinch Vespa #T 4 150 (same engine)? The fuel line on ours came off and caught in the exhaust so has a nice melted middle with both ends dangling loose. Obviously I won't be riding the scoot to a shop to get it fixed and I don't have a vehicle with me that has a trailer hitch to take it to the shop so looks like whether I want to or not I may be doing some wrenching unless I can find a mechanic in Breckenridge who will make a house call. It's either that or pull the battery and wait until my husband comes up with the SUV but that won't be for some time. There's an auto parts store nearby I should be able to buy a replacement line at.

Pull the line and take it to an auto parts store. They can get the correct diameter from that. The manual will only give you a part number.

The derbi boulevard is the piaggio fly so look in the wiki at workshop manuals and you will find one there

I already had the smaller piece of the melted in parts fuel line with me when I went to my class today. Picked up a new fuel line if I can figure out where to connect it.

My understanding is that the Derb we have uses the ET 4 engine. Never heard anything about it being the same as a Fly.

It's a Leader engine. Same as the GT200 and *lots* of others, including some non-Piaggio marketed bikes.

Damn there is a lot of screws to remove the plastics on it. Once I got to where I could see things it looked like the fuel line was intact. So I said what the heck and fired it up. Started and ran with no fuel escaping. After running it for 15 minutes I started putting the plastics back on . I have no idea how whose fuel line got caught between my exhaust and its plastic shield but apparently it wasn't our Derbi's or the BVs since both are running without issue. Weird!
