Hey guys, so my et2 starts after a few kicks and holding the throttle all the way, but then dies and pukes fuel out the very top of the carborator,(the black part where im pointing) is this a tuning issue or is the carborator bad or what?

There's a gasket that goes under the black cap. Yours is probably torn/non existent causing air/fuel issues. Order a carb rebuild kit and refresh yours.
Two stroke scooters are definitely finicky when everything is not air tight. |

The plastic broke?
Is this a genuine Piaggio carburetor or an eBay generic? What's the status of the rubber manifold the carb plugs into? Cracks? |

It's a ebay one, and there are little cracks on the manifold, this is my first motorcycle of any kind so I didn't really know what to buy. When I bought it the carborator was clogged but when I tried to clean it I broke it so I bought this one and after messing with the tuning I got it to work but then it broke again, this fuel issue is new though
