Hi everyone... I have finally gotten some time to work on my scooter today. i changed the oil and cleaned the air filter and the rest of the air filter case assembly all of the way back to the carb. Still having the same problems. I did take pics of where the leak is coming from.   |

If it is blowing into the filter... would this explain why it is barely moving when I twist the throttle?

I forgot to mention that last week, I had my back tire changed because I popped a flat... and they of course had to take my back tire off to do this. I am not sure if they messed something up with the variator or what..

and now it just "won't go"... I think I may have blown a gasket somewhere and maybe oil got on my belt? Is this a possibility? I checked the dip stick and I did indeed put just a little too much oil in it, but it is just over the dipstick measurement... It was leaking oil before but just a very slow drip. I'm thinking I may have put too much oil in it and busted a gasket somewhere. I am almost at an end with this scooter... I have told myself this is the last thing I am going to fix on it pending how much it may cost to fix this last thing... Any suggestions as to what I need to check?

OK... thanks... the pdf you have here for general maintenance says 28 oz... I read as little as half a quart. I wasn't sure if there was a difference in quantity between engine sizes... the pdf doesn't really specifiy

carb came in yesterday... it has a plastic cap over it... I can't unscrew it... should I just pull it out with some pliers??? and I was curious as to which direction to turn the screw to enrich or lean the mixture, and what would be the best procedure for testing this.
