Pretty manly....
When I 1st got the skoot, just cleaning the carb (and tank) made a world of difference, for months!Your carburetor sounds like it needs a rebuild. :/
I showed the pictures at the bike shop and he said it is a vent line. It is supposed to have tubing hanging down so when you go thru water it doesn't pour in, which begs the question why didn't they angle the tap down to begin with.With just that pic I would assume that's the overflow. It should be attached to a line so if is does start draining gas it will go out the line to the ground instead of all over your 4 wheeler.
If it will start with fluid then you know it's a fuel problem. Best guess is the float valve is stuck and isn't allowing gas into the carb. Sounds like it's rebuild time.
