i bought a new bike fired on the second pull and worked fine the next day it wouldnt start at all so i took the carb of drained the float cleaned it put it together and it worked for 2 minutes and died and now its leaks like mad even though its clean and everything is tight then i realized after looking at my other bike the line is missing from the carb does anyone know where i could get one?? also its a giovanni and the carb is from some freaky chinease or japanease place.

check your float bowl the gas may be leaking form there as for the engine not running make sure your carb gas line is open you could get that hose from canadian tire probally also check your spark plug and see it it is flooded or may need to be gapped

The needle is/was probably stuck and/or dirty. If you didn't clean your fuel tank before your first fill you could have some problems because there is junk in them from the factory.

Install a fuel filter and that should solve the junk issue. Then pull off the carb again and clean it well and retry.

If your carb was made in Japan I don't think you would be having problems with it.

If you can post a picture someone could probably identify it for you.
