    Yellow cone-shaped thing

    This is a stupid question, but oh well.

    I got my bike and there is a yellow cone-shaped thing that came with it, but was not on it. I have to think it is fuel-related, but where exactly does it go?

    Sounds like an inline fuel filter. Probably best it's not installed if that's what it is. If the in-tank filter is in good condition it's about all you need. If not, a free flowing inline filter is needed.

        The bike was previously owned by a gnome. It is a helmet.

          How did you know it used to belong to a gnome!?!?!? It was my friend Sam's, the biggest gnome who ever walked the earth.

          That makes a lot of sense.

          So, I don't need it, right? I thought it might be some kind of fuel flow regulator, since I'm getting such crappy gas mileage.

            Well, basically you are right! They basically regulate the flow so that at WOT, you get excellent mileage. The downfall is that it makes the bike run like poo-poo-poo. Then I get infinite miles per gallon becasue the bike isn't worth riding.

            You have another problem if you are getting bad mileage, either carb or spark related most of the time.

              Nah, the only thing they are good for is providing problems for bored people to solve. LOL
