If it's coming out the carburetor bottom, it's probably just a drain line and doesn't connect to anything.

SOURCE: need spects for carburetor main jet

http://www.cmsnl.com/yamaha-yz125r-2003_model11245/partslist/A-12.html

Site above has all the parts and specs for your bike. Jet ranges are large for a YZ as many mod's are available and riding conditions contribute largely to a peaky 2 banger. Start with #40 pilot, and #420 main. Trial and error from there. Cheers.

In many case when you rejet your carburetors you are only changing the mains and the needles(to get rid of the acceleration bog) If they give you several size jets to try, be sure you are putting the right sizes in the right spots. Yamaha typically will run one carburetor leaner than the other. Depending on how the cycle is running , I have known people to match the jets in both carburetors. Check the color of your plugs to double check if you have set the cycle up correctly.

2008 Touring 250 de tank scooter repair manual

Sorry I dont have a such information but however I can suggest a few general steps to take to troubleshoot and repair the issue.
  1. Check for spark: Remove the spark plug and connect it to the spark plug wire. Hold the plug against a metal surface on the engine and try starting the scooter. If you see a spark, the ignition system is working properly. If there is no spark, you may need to replace the spark plug or check the ignition system for problems.
  2. Check fuel and vacuum lines: Inspect the fuel and vacuum lines for any signs of damage, cracks, or leaks. Make sure they are properly connected and free from any obstructions or blockages.
  3. Check the carburetor: The carburetor is responsible for mixing fuel and air to provide the engine with the proper fuel-to-air ratio. If the carburetor is dirty or clogged, it can cause a loss of power or difficulty starting. Clean or replace the carburetor if necessary.
  4. Check the fuel filter: A clogged fuel filter can restrict fuel flow and cause a loss of power or difficulty starting. Check the fuel filter and replace it if necessary.
  5. Check the fuel pump: If your scooter has a fuel pump, check it for proper operation. Make sure it is receiving power and is pumping fuel to the carburetor.
If you're unable to diagnose and fix the issue on your own, it may be best to take your scooter to a qualified mechanic or dealership for a proper diagnosis and repair.

I took scooter for a ride everything worked fine get back to garage and fuel is leaking out of carborator to which it drained the fuel tank. Do I need a new carb or what's the problem.

Jason, You can replace carburetor or have the old carburetor rebuilt to fix your gas leaking problem, either float is stuck or if carburetor equipped with a solenoid shut off, are the actual problem likely.
Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

Scooter not getting gas to carb.

Silly question, but are you sure you are getting gas through the line? Could the line from the tank be plugged? How about the tank port?
Is there a fuel shutoff?

Znen 125t-f scooter starts but wont go

Make sure the airbox and filter are in place and securely attached to the carburetor. Check that the carburetor is secure in the intake. Make sure no vacuum hoses are missing or ports are left uncapped. Verify that the spark plug cap, ignition coil connectors, stator connections, and grounds are not loose. The fuel lines/filter could be partially clogged. The float level (in the carb) could be set too low. The carburetor may need to be cleaned. Carburetor jetting or adjustments could be off.

When primed will run for a short time till fuel runs out

Hi Charles
Sounds like you have dirt/debris in your carburetor jets, fuel passages or a diaphragm that is becoming non-flexible.
Check/Clean/Replace your Air Filter, a dirty air filter can make your engine run to rich with fuel.
Also be sure to check and clean your spark arrestor in the exaust,if you have one installed on your engine.
Note: ALWAYS USE COMPRESSED AIR TO CLEAN YOUR JETS AND PASSAGES, VERY IMPORTANT.
Note:Before you disassemble the carburetor:
Write down on a piece of paper or take a picture of how the linkage attaches to your carburetor for later reference when you go to reinstall your carburetor.
Mark each piece with a awl, or some kind of instrument that will make an alignment scratch before you disassemble the carburetor into separate pieces.
That way you will know which way it goes back together when you reassemble it.
Sometimes you can get by with priming the carburetor or by using a very small shot of starting fluid and letting it run a few times like that, and it will flush the gunk out of the jets,but most of the time you will need to rebuild the carburetor.
Be sure to check your fuel tank for water and dirt/debris, if there is water/debris then you need to clean your tank.
Check you fuel line condition after a while they will degrade and need replacment.
Check/Clean/Replace your fuel filter if you have one, normally they are located in the fuel tank of chainsaws and weedeaters.
When you remove your fuel lines from the carburetor be sure to make a drawing to how the lines are connected to the carburetor or take a pictue for later reference.
Normally the big line will be the line the fuel filter is connected to inside of the tank.The smaller of the two lines is the return to the fuel tank from the carburetor after it is pumped thru the carburetor by the primer bulb.
Make sure you are using fresh fuel...and oil if your using a two cycle chainsaw or weedeater with the oil to the right mixture...too much oil as it can cause hard starting and excessive smoking.
If the chainsaw/trimmer is over a couple of years old, then I recommend that you buy and install a new carburetor repair kit,because the diaphragm will get hard and that will cause it to be hard to crank.
The diaphgram may look good and flexible, but it can be deceiving and not act as a fuel pump as it should because it has become too hard and will cause hard starting,start and run and shut off, etc.
When you clean your carburetor, I recommend that you use a laquer thinner type cleaner to clean and dissolve the laquer build-up in the float and needle jet passages.
Be sure to remove all plastic and rubber parts before using the laquer thinner because it can dissolve the plastic parts and render them unuseable.
Be sure to use COMPRESSED AIR to blow out all the fuel and air passages.The higher air pressure is needed to blow some of the trash/debris from the fuel or air passages.
Be careful when blowing out the passages, because there are sometimes small rubber type seats in the bottom of some of the passages.
Keep in mind that the float (if you have one) for the carburetor must be level when you go to reassemble the carburetor or follow the instructions you get with the carburetor kit, or you could also ask the parts man that you get your kit from.
When you clean your carburetor and remove the jet screws, you will first need to lightly seat the jet screws.
But before you lightly seat the jet screws count the number of turns it takes to seat the jet screws from their original position.
Be sure to mark the turns down on a piece of paper.
That way when you put the jets back in, you know to lightly seat them first and then turn them back out to their original position before you started.
Note:
The little spring inside of the carburetor goes under the float arm.
That is where your fuel inlet needle/float valve is located...on the arm at the end.
Normally there is a small indention in the carburetor base and a small protrusion on the underneath of the float arm where the spring will be in the right postion for installation.
The spring will set in the indention and you will install the float arm with the needle/float valve and float rod into position over top of the spring,you will push down until it is in position and then you can tighten the screw that holds the float arm assembly in position.
Once you have your carburetor cleaned/rebuilt that should solve your problem.
