The fuel filter is in the fuel pump which is located inside of the FUEL TANK...

KOs link is good info.

Consider: what does fuel quality have to do with headlights and turn sigs?

The scooter needs > 12V for normal operation and your battery... albeit young... is my prime suspect.

Thanks for the replies guys, I wrote that on behalf of my 19 year old son. After work today, started checking it over, apparently 400 miles of hi-way driving was enough to vibrate the negative battery cable loose. tightened it up and ALL is back to normal.
