Faulty Carburator

I am due to take a look at a Chinese scooter and on the phone I was told that the tank can only be half filled as it will otherwise flood the carburator.

Apparently it was serviced and the mechanic took it apart, cleaned it, etc, but still the problem exist.But I don't know if the mechanic knew what he was doing or maybe the service never happened. I will ask for papers.

Now this scooter I am told is 2009 year with 950 miles on board with asking price of 350 quid. What do you think?

Is it expensive to repair a carburator? Knowing this I can probably bring down the price...

N.B. This would be my first scooter!

Don't

aye what burridge said, don't!
save your self time, money, blood, sweat, tears, heart ache, tantrums and probably an accident!

just avoid chinese! no offense to any chinese scooter owners but really don't

save up another £100 quid and get a decent 2stroke like a aerox , piaggio etc

as all above have said, don't! but if you're adiment, sounds like it is either the float in the carb or your fuel tap, it'll be hard to find parts for these. could be something simple or a complete ball ache, go for a reliable make if you want my advice.

Don't forget the possibility of a temper tantrum.
Which can end up going very bad when one is wielding a large spanner.
