Yamaha Zuma pit scooter replacement parts

[Dragsinger]

Racers, I have a 2001 Zuma that I bought new to use as a pit scooter.

It has 725 miles showing on the odometer

I need a replacement carb. Does someone have experience with a reliable Zuma parts vendor?

Take the carb to shop that has a sonic cleaner , unless it broke in half.

My initial thought was "if" a replacement carb was reasonable price just replace it. [I saw some $40.00 - $45.00 carbs on some web sites]

With more checking an exact replacement is no longer available and those $40.00 range carbs are "universal" requiring some adaption.

So, as suggested, float, needle, gaskets, are in route.

I have messed with quite a few of these. Yes, you can make a replacement carb work, but they are pretty straightforward to dissasemble and reassemble. If you can get it aprt and cleaned out, you are better off. The two strokes are finicky if the carbs are not right. If the scoot has not run much, the rings might be sticky too. If you can get her started, run good quality fresh gas through it with some sea foam in it. They are good scooters. If you need aftermarket parts, I have had good luck with Athena brand parts.

I've got a 2000 Yamaha Raz and have the carb apart a few times. I know the needle and seat are very picky and it doesn't take much debris to get into trouble. The carb passages are tiny. Liberal use of carb spray cleaner. It was alot easier when I found a service manual online for mine. I would definitely recommend that route.
