I finally got some time to install the carburetor back on the Primavera. The carb slips easily onto the manifold, but there are a few tricks. First, you have to put the air filter on the carb before you put the carb on the manifold. The posts that the air filter sits on are too long to allow the air filter to easily slid on the carb with it fully in place. Next, it is much easier to deal with getting the carb on (and off) with the gas tank out of the scooter. Since the tank is held on with just three bolts, that is a no-brainer.
With the carb and gas tank installed, it was time to fire her up. Vrrroom! Yes, the repair was a success, and the scooter is idling fine. No revving, and no chirping. I think we have a runner!
