Fuel valve is leaking..... Engine JLIPE40QMB - Have an input line, output, and vent... Vent line has a short hose on it with a screw (just a regular metal screw) and a clamp on the screw - like they are trying to shut-off the vent... but that's where the gas is leaking. There's also a vaccume tube on the fuel value - on the inside of the valve (toward the inside of the engine). Valve is separate from the engine.
The fuel valves I've seen for the two-stroke - do not have a vent valve on them... would that work as a replacement?
This model has a separate oil tank - that holds the 2-stroke engine oil.
Right now I'm getting about 20 mpg on a 49cc engine... so I believe most of it is leaking out from that "vent" hose on the valve.
Having a hard time finding replacements parts. www.Partsforchinesescooters.com seems to be the only place but I'm not sure that fuel valve will work for this model.
Any suggestions would be appreciated...

Re: Geely 50QT-21
welll....... chinese scooters are sort of known to have fuel (and electrical) problems... so i see why that response would be given
is the fuel valve connected to the gas tank? i'm kind of lost with your description. a picture would be nice.

Here's a picture of the valve.... I verified that gas is exiting the vent... which explains why I'm getting 20 miles to the gallon... and lots of gas on the ground
