You can get the vacuum hose at your nearest small engine dealer or repair shop. Its 1/8". If youre going to replace the vacuum line you mine as well replace the fuel line with a clear fuel line as well which is 3/16". take the two lines in and tell them you want to replace them with yellow tygon line.

Or you can order fuel/vacuum lines online at a bunch of places such as treatland.tv

Can you guys get these Motobatt batteries in the states?

http://motobatt.com/

model number MBTX4U fits Dios, Sprees, Pals. They are slightly taller I believe.

I have fitted these to 2 different scooters. They rock! They do not lose charge much at all, good cranking amps have always been reliable and certainly in this country are reasonably priced. I would not go back to a standard battery. Also here they are not classified as Hazardous goods so very easy to buy and have shipped.

I firmly believe it is worth looking around for these batteries and buying them if comparable/reasonable priced to standard batts.

Thats my 2c worth!

The vacuum lines are the same type of line that the fuel lines are. For clear lines the tygon yellow line is great doesn't harden up, and easy to get, home depot sells it has most of the different sizes here in Canada, or your local small engine shop is a great place to go get it. The regular clear lines you buy at the hardware store don't work all that well for fuel as it hardens up really quick and can leak.
