Wait, how can I verify the engines actual cc's? I'm starting to believe I got ripped off. Yeah, I assume it does.. I took it out and tried turning it on while grounded and saw a blue spark.
No I haven't checked the valves. How do I do that?

Mira yo estoy teniendo un problema grande con mi motora.. no esta ... (alguien habla espanol?)
LOL, just kidding.
Okay, I own a 150cc 4t 139QMB.. not too long ago I posted a forum saying that it was "spitting oil" which it did, from its vent hose on the CVT. I took off my cvt cover and gears and etc.. noticed that some of the crews holding it (the gears in) on behind the clutch.. so I took it all apart cleaned it up a bit.. installed a new gasket since my old one was torn screwed it all back on together voila! put everything back into its place.. I turned the scooter on a few times and it ran good.. when I placed to CVT cover back on.. and got it under way.. it turned on once.. and then wouldn't turn on again.. I charged the battery a bit more... it would turn on with the cables connected, supplying electrical current to the battery. I tried turning it on today.. and it doesn't want to.. I tried charging the battery, nada.. I checked the spark plug.. it's got a spark, I took apart the carb to see if there was any dirt inside (did not touch the jets, had a bad experience with that on a previous scooter). Placed it all back together.. then nothing again. I noticed on the side there's a round object that has a green connector and a black one but the wires were on the opposite meaning the green connection had the black one one.. and the green cable was on the black connector.. switched it and VOILA! it turned on. (this was yesterday). I simply can't get it to turn on and I need some help.. today is my last day to fix it.

Thanks Spandi, I appreciate it. I got a question for you.. how is it possible to detect and oil leak? because if my mechanic said he changed the oil recently.. and now I'm out of oil.. there's got to be something completely wrong with it. I noticed my muffler was smoking up a lot the other day, after a ride or when I'd stop at a light. Does anyone know if there's any members here who are from Miami who could genuinely help me? because I feel like I'm getting lied to some where around here.

Spandi, I got a quick question.. we actually filled up the engine oil earlier today because according to my mechanic.. he had already changed it.. yet today it had none according to the guy who did a quick check up on it. we put in oil already.. how do I know if I have enough? I'm sorry for all these retarded questions.

btw, I read that you shouldn't fill it up to the filler hole.. it would be wayy too much.

Hey guys, I need some serious help. I was driving to work today and my scooter started to spit out oil from the CVT.. it has a little hose attached to it and I don't know why it started to squirt it out.. I'll admit.. I own a 150cc and I was speeding on my way to work.. I had to cover about 12 miles in less then 15 miles.. as I started to drive I began smelling something odd.. as a result I saw it shooting oil out. Now I have a 12 mile ride back and only 4 bucks.. can someone help me out? Attachments:

Hey guys, so as you might know.. a few days ago.. I posted on here asking for some help after I had cleaned my carb..but still wasn't able to fix it. Well, I actually came across who was selling a 150cc for 300 bucks and I gave him 100 bucks PLUS my old Zongshen 50cc. Let me tell you.. BEST thing I ever did. One thing I was curious about though was.. what are some good modifications to help out my new 150cc?
At the moment I don't know the make and model of it..but I do know its fast compared to my 50cc (no sht sherlock!) lol.
I was thinking about changing my air filter, belt to kevlar, roller weights(how many grams do you reccommend?) I'm about 6' and weigh around 230lbs.
Also another thing I noticed is.. when I shut off the engine.. the exaust lets off smoke from the outside.. as if it was burning? I believe the guy who sold it to me spray painted it along with the cvt.. could that be the cause for it?
Thanks for checking my post out!

How do I know which valve is which? I don't have much experience within this field. I'm more of a techie type of guy lol.

Hey everyone, thanks for taking your time to read my post.
Quick run down.
I own a Zongshen 50cc and I just cleaned my carb, changed my rollers, and the belt. Now the issue I have is... before I made any of those changes.. when I slowed down for a red light and got to a certain speed.. it would idle in an odd way.. meaning when the light would go green and I'd accelerate it would take me a good twenty-30 feet to actually begin to accelerate. I cleaned the carb and it ran great then I shut it off.. for about 20 minutes, and I was back on square 1. I don't know what to do anymore honestly. If anyone could help me, it would be incredibly appreciated.
