Honestly I didn't take it off, I watched a video on youtube and simply just followed it and it slipped right on, no damage to the belt. (Man that sounds stupid lol but it's how I've fixed a few problems so far). I am going to harbor store tomorrow to pick up the a wrench just got off the phone with them. I'll take it off tomorrow and take a look at what is going on and update.

Honestly I don't know what rollers are but I'll definitely research it after this post and see if I can do that tomorrow as well.

Thanks guys!

It's a 2008 Chaunl Longbo Adventure 150cc LE (LB150T-12) GY6, it has 2400 miles on it, I bought it at 1900 miles about a month ago. When first bought she dripped a couple drops of oil out of the air box, which has since been fixed (overfilled on oil), they removed the air filter as well probably due to it being soaked but I have since bought a new one. I've cleaned the spark plug, adjusted the air/fuel ratio, replaced a couple bulbs and just pretty much cleaned her up. She has been riding great for the past 2 weeks, roughly 45-48 on the odometer with me and my wife on it and honestly the same with just me but that's really all I need for the city. I took her out to lunch on Sunday and when riding home we felt a nice jerk and everything completely died, I pulled over and tried to start it up and it was a no go, we waited about 5 minutes and started it up and it sounded fine so we jumped on it and went absolutely no where ha. Everything sounded normal she revved up great but the wheel didn't budge even on center stand. I figured hey it's an older scoot probably just the belt. I left her in the autozone parking lot (my scooter) and came back today with a brand new gates kevlar belt, I opened it up and sure enough the belt was beat to... however I was able to confirm I had bought the correct belt size. I changed the belt and put it on center stand with the cover off the crankshaft case and revved her up and I could see the (I believe) clutch rattling really bad when first revving up (however the wheels were now spinning on centerstand). After giving it more throttle things would seem to tighten up and running smoothly (no more rattling) and wheels spinning fast. So I closed it back up thinking I had handled the problem and thought maybe the rattling was just due to no cover. I started it up (clutch still rattling badly) and it jerks bad and goes about 10MPH, I couldn't leave it at autozone so I thought f it and ride it home (no truck access) it turns out the clutch rattles horribly and it continues to jerk until it seems to catch and slowly but surely accelerates up to about 55-60MPH on the odometer with me on it. So the belt fixed my top end but in this whole situation it seems something malfunctioned in my clutch and now it has no low end until it just decides to catch itself (keep in mind only on FLATTTT ground) and accelerates normally and ridiculously smooth.

Sorry if that's too much info but I figure I'd like everyone know exactly what's going on so I can get some great input from all the vets to get this issue fixed and her back on the road.

Thanks again..

Hi guys Im trying to swap out relays, can i hook this up? instead of ordering online and waiting can i use www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/Novita-Turn-Signal-Flasher/_/N-9cjef?itemIdentifier=69839_0_0_  and which wires go where? ty in advance .

Hi all,

I have been messing around with my scoot and have gotten it running better, today while I was adjusting the carb air/fuel my turn signals and hazards stopped working randomly, everything else works, headlights brakelights and horn. They are not blinking on the dash either, the switch and hazard button feels normal, I pushed it off the center stand to test out my adjustments and went for a ride and noticed they weren't working but the previous ride I took they were which was about 30 minutes prior. I doubt it is the bulbs since they all stopped working at the same time, I checked the fuse by the battery and it looks good. I think something came loose but not quite sure if I need to take the plastics off to check if they are all good to go. Any suggestions? I'm not familiar with the wiring on these things either but I learn quickly.

Update on jerking, it got better after my first adjustment then I adjusted it again and it got worse as far as top end speed and when it jerks. I changed the oil and got some seafoam in her crankcase, I will be adding seafoam to her fuel tomorrow morning. I will also fiddle some more with the adjustment to see if I cannot get it just right.

Ok so I bought the air filter and installed it, I noticed when I removed everything in the air box there was some puddles of oil, the guy at the shop said it was spitting oil back up and probably caused the last air filter to become soaked and was probably why it wasn't there. I cleaned the box and checked the oil, I noticed it covered all the X's on the dipstick plus about half a inch which may explain why it's leaking oil? I tried to follow the oil and it kind of makes sense, it's dripping all over and made a puddle on some plastics by the fan on the bottom and is dripping from there. Well I removed all the oil and cleaned the filter and put in roughly 27-30OZ its half way up on the dipstick now. Seems to have more power behind her now but she is still jerky but now around mid 40's and upper. I can tell the scooter is feeling better from the changes but now I think I need to adjust the fuel air as suggested but I'm a bit cautious cause I'm new to this I wanted to try all the "easier" things first. Any input from anyone on what else it could possibly be besides the air fuel ratio being off? After reading a post on here I noticed people talking about a Japanese carb starting with a H but I can't recall the exact name, well it has that with all the original markings as Alley suggested and a spare used NGK spark plug so I think someone else took the time and maybe lost interest. The gentleman I bought it from said he paid 180$ to have the carb rebuilt while he owned it (he owned it approx. 9 months) so I think it wont be a huge repair. I just have to continue familiarizing myself with the thing. I'll keep this updated just in case anyone else runs in the same problem.

The oil is dripping mostly after running for long periods, since cleaning the air box and getting rid of the oil in there it hasn't leaked that I've noticed, I ran it for about an hour after changing the oil and cleaning the box.

That's awesome such a fast response. Going to buy one tomorrow and hopefully fixes my power problem. Once that's handled then onto the oil..

Thanks Alley
