So after messing with it for the last couple of hours, I noticed the exhaust is kicking out some white smoke. Look at the carb, but it seemed pretty clean to me. Any idea what might be causing the smoke? Bad gas?

Hey all, new to this forum. Have had my Taotao atm50 scooter for a little over 6 months, and have enjoyed it to get me all over. Moved to Maryland from Wisconsin in August, and haven't had a problem until today. Started heading out to grab a bite to eat today, and the scooter ran fine all the way to the sub shop. Afterwards, as I was leaving, I noticed it started okay, but had no power when I would throttle it. Sounded like it was spitting and sputtering, and did this the whole way home. Couldn't crack more than 10 mph unless I was coasting downhill. Even died a couple of times on the way home, and would start harder and harder each time I tried.
Just cracked 3400 miles, which puts me due for another oil change today. Not sure what caused the scooter to throw a fit, as it was fine when I started out. Could it be the temperature? Only about 40 degrees here today. Or is it something else like fuel ratio, spark plug, etc. Only upgrade I've done on the bike was a performance CDI swap when I bought it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
