Im Wondering if the vacum hose that goes to the fuel tank is needed casue on my scouter if the vacum hose is taken of the fuel tank and blocked it goes faster cause no feul starvation caused by the vacum hose sucking the air out of the tank when at high speeds

It is needed it stops the fuel from flowing if there is no vacuum. It is there to cut the fuel supply when the engine is switched off.

That cable also does carb prime does it not?

I been running my bike with just a pump bottle hooked up to the fuel line, it works on choke but sucks it dry pretty quick. Putting holes in the bottle floods the bike.......

And results in locking and fuel leaking out of the exhaust after a few hundred M of push starting.

Need my friggen fuel tank back :|
