Does anyone know about how many miles you should get on a tank of fuel with a stock TOMOS Nitro 150 with 7,900 miles on it?
I ran out of fuel recently and I got 61 miles out of a full tank of fuel.
The bike runs good but it does seem like it's running a little rich you can tell because of the smell of the exhaust, I have checked the valve gaps their ok, changed air cleaner, spark plug and I've replaced all the rubber hoses going to the carb.

I've heard of people having gas come down the vacuum line on the vacuum petcock that's gone bad.
Other than that I'd say its prob your carb. maybe the float height is too high?

I have changed all the fuel and vacuum lines but I didn't think about the fuel valve. My scooter has 7,900 miles on it now and I have never replaced it. Its an inexpensive part so I might just go ahead and order one anyway.
As for my carb, I've never touched it, I have noticed that my fuel consumption has increased over the past 6 months I just haven't figured out why yet.
How many miles to a tank do these normally get? I know there has to be someone else out there that owns a Nitro 150

no idea, I've only got a taotao 50.
you should be able to tell if its bad by pulling the vacuum line from the carb after its run a bit and see if gas is dripping out it. also, maybe your new air cleaner is more restrictive?

I had the issue with backfire and excessive fuel use before air filter switch.
This is ridiculous on a full tank of gas don't matter if it's city or highway miles I get between 55-61 miles out of a tank of fuel.

Does anybody even use these forums anymore? I've noticed since it switched from the old name that I hardly get any replies like I used to.
