I've got a little over 1,000km on the scooter. Bought it new 2012 TaoTao 50 (49cc). Live in Florida so the carb screw has been adjusted per season. Today I did a gear oil change again and thought I'ld check the air filter. When I pulled it off, I noticed oil on the filter and what appeared to be oil coming out of the hose that attaches to the carbureator... Pictures located here: drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B97byuS4_lCLMmFXMDNhUXh0U0k&usp=sharingThere is no smoke coming from the scooter like a cracked head or anything and it has very low mileage as well. |

When my valves are not closely adjusted this happens to me EVERYTIME.
They can't be Intake:.003 and exhaust:.005
They have to be close like In:.003 Out:.004
The oil is comming from the valve vent cover. There should be a tube leading from the valve cover the the air-box snorkel.
EVERYTIME I mis-adjust my valves this happens,
Overtime the valves close up. Sometime one closes before the other
Even though its new scooters are still flawed. Chinese like quality or quality.
Ive seen new scooters come with valves set too tight from the start.
I have a 2012 Tao Tao CY50-A
It responds better to .004 Intake and .005 exhaust but closer to.oo4
If the bike dosent start by its self within 1.5 seconds of pushing the button, something needs to be adjusted.

Normally, if you have a spongy air filter, for good operation, it is best that it's lightly drenched in oil. Oil filters out smaller particles that would otherwise go through the pores of the sponge. |
