Answer
Hi.  I'm not surprised about the Haynes manual.  They're great for dismantling components, but not so great when it comes to “Where does this pipe (or wire) go, etc”?

Although I’m not an expert with the  “Peugeot Elyseo 125”, the fuel systems on these scooters are not typically too complicated, so lets see if we can work this out.  

I have a friend who’s in the scooter business (and owes me some favours) so to get you running again as quick as possible, let’s do this.

With a digital camera, take two or three close-up - good quality - photos of the carb and engine.  Email those pictures to me, and I’ll return them shortly with notes and diagrams showing where each of the pipes, hoses, etc goes.

How does that sound to you?

Email them to pjeeves@telus.net

Cheers

Paul
