has anyone had any problems with the above?
we bought the above kit (came with black tipped plunger ) & tried to fit into a SH1/20 Delly carb, no success.
the plunger kept sticking so used an original red tipped plunger, success, but, when fitted back on scoot it spewed out fuel within 5 secs
stripped again, placed float in cup of water & it floated.
compared dimensions of new black scootopia float to an original 5gr float. original is slightly smaller in height, scootopia pivot position is slightly higher
put original red tipped plunger with original float & hey presto, no leak from the over flow.

You know what they say.

Yep had similar problems with the scootopia kit, tried chopping over a few different needles and float bowls ( scootopia and OEM) no joy- bloody thing kept sticking and leaking in the end I tried a red tipped needle and a clear plastic float bowl from a Jettex carb which ( fingers crossed) has done the trick. What a bloody faff! Paul

^... watch out for possible fuel starvation as some of the red-tipped aftermarket needles are a fraction longer than the originals.
