The scooter runs for a couple miles then shuts off, there's a strong smell of gasoline. It only starts back up once it cools down. I proceeded to adjust the idle to 2000 RPMs next i looked for the air\fuel adjustor but where it supposed to be there is no screw to adjust. I have a photo but it wont let me upload, so here is a video.

the picture is clear cut where the screw is, but on the video you dont see a screw. Is that a cap im supposed to remove? if so how? Right when I start the video that matches the picture you posted. by the way how did you post an image?

Here is a video on drilling the plug plug out.
Now I have to tell you, sometimes the screw behind the plugs do not have a SLOT for a screwdriver to be able to adjust the fuel mixture. Most just go and buy a aftermarket carb for $25.00 that has the screw available.

x a valve adjustment comes to mind . I would look to make a valve adjustment first .
go to photobucket.com open an account then upload from your computer .
check the bolts on the intake manifold make sure they are tight .

Ok, I'll do a valve adjustment. Here is cold start video.
Can you tell from this wether it needs valve adjustment.

Starts really good I do not think it needs a valve adjust. If the valves where tight it would be hard to start, it starts right up which is what you want. Don't Fix if it ain't broke.  Alleyoop So what if any problem do you have NOW? Alleyoop |

When the engine is hot it shuts down, it starts to bog down. It usually happens after I have ran it at constant high speeds. There is a hard smell of gasoline. I wanted to adjust the air fuel but it has a cover where I can't adjust the fuel. Does it regulate the air fuel automatically?

One thing I forgot to mention, I was told by John at valley scooter to drill a hole on the gas cap. Do you think the is too small. I will post a pick when I get home. They had me do this because of pressure build up??

have you replace the vac lines and gas lines if the vac lines suck flat at speed it will cut the gas off have you check the enricher it may not be extending and cutting of the extra feul for start up
