Forum Newbie
I realize it isn't a lawnmower but maybe someone could help or tell me of another forum to try. I purchased a Sikk scooter at a garage sale for $15. The seller stated it had not run for years. I figured it would be a good project to do with my 13 year old son to learn about engines. We replaced the fuel lines, filter, and the spark plug is clean and there is a spark. The next step was to clean and rebuild the carburetor. I figured out the carburetor is a Walbro and the model is WYJ. I ordered a rebuild kit for this specific model (from Amazon), but when it arrived it had extra gaskets, so I guess it was more of a universal kit. We cleaned the carburetor and installed everything however gas started leaking after we primed it. The gas was leaking between the primer and the spacer gasket, (primer -> spacer gasket -> diaphragm -> next piece of carburetor). I removed the spacer gasket thinking it was not needed however it still leaks. Does anyone know where I could purchase a specific repair kit for this carburetor or even better a new carburetor I could just bolt on? One last question, in one of the photos there is a light blue gasket between the carb and the engine. It is made of some sort of paper and needs to be replaced. A new one did not come in the kit, can you tell me what it is called? I attached a photo of the scooter. and the carb. Thanks
