ok so i go to do an oil change and for the first real good look at my used scoot and i find 2 things so far first as i take out the drain bolt on the gears all this black crumbly crud starts coming off and low and behold its been stripped the second thing is on my 150 there was a metal end piece on the line running from the bottom of the carb with a screw in it so the gas wouldn't run out the bowl the 50 has no metal end i see no gas coming out im not sure why gravity and all but shouldn't there be a metal end with a screw to keep the gas in

hey Jr
hows it going well my mc 150 was stolen in nov and iv had to take public transportation since ,at 7.00 a trip ,got my refund of 500.00 back and found a wildfire sc50 with only 630 miles on it so i wont have to walk no more. going from a 150 to a 50 is a little tough though and i was wondering what can i do if anything to get this scoot to do 50 mph without it blowing up . thanks for your time

im trying to get a camera

found the tear in the diaphragm now how do i replace the rubber i ordered on they sent me the rubber part but i dont see how to take the old one off to put the new one on

will check the air filter in the morning the starting problem goes like this it acts like its getting no fuel at first then it starts and dies then it acts like its flooded let it set and it starts and runs fine and the rest of the day it would start fine looking on the other boards and from memory of other posts i was thinking valves once that was checked i thought of crack in the manifold so i ordered one the picture showed 2 nipples the one i got only has one so much for ebay so i won't join the lines that's one question down i also thought of a pin hole in the diaphragm but couldn't tell how to replace it and the old one looks kind of stretched and old its probably simple to replace i just don't know how and i don't want to break it

ok JR did a tune up on my 150 for 2 reasons 1 it was getting really hard to start 2 it was almost time for it any way cleaned the carb was going to change the diaphragm couldn't tell if the little tube that the spring sets in comes apart or do you just pull the old one off and slide a new one on so i just put it back together with the old one still on i think that the problem because i did all the rest checked for spark checked for compression checked gas flow to the engine was going to put on a new manifold on but the one on my scooter has 2 hoses coming off it and the one i just got only has a nipple for one so i didnt put it on does it matter or can i just tie the 2 hoses together into 1 .sorry if these are dumb questions but as Ive said before im a cook not a mechanic
