DC CDI

I own three scooters.
As for the carb.. I have changed out the carbs with the other scooter carbs and it still did the same thing. The other scooters run just fine.
I say it's running rich because of the gas millage it's getting. Aweful!
I tried a different CDI because when you go full speed, it goes just fine, then stalls out. You have to slow down, and then it will fix itself. So I thought it might be overclocking the stock CDI. It's not. Still does it with a racing CDI.
As for the oil.. If I knew where it was coming out I could fix it. It's coming out while I am driving and it's getting all over the engine. Then when I stop it all runs down and drips. It's hard to know where the leak is when the entire engine is dripping.
I thought it was the little drain off part that catches oil from the cam shaft area, but I plugged that up completely, and it still leaks.
I know a little bit of this stuff. I have fixed all three scooters by myself, but this problem has got me.

Done all that...
Again... The problem is not the carb, coil, spark plug, fuel enricher, CDI, valves, or air intake.
I guess I should explain in more detail... Carb is not the problem, been changed out. Coil, spark plug, enricher, CDI, air filter, are all brand new. The valves have been adjusted.
Still loses power and runs rich, no matter how it's adjusted.
Also has an oil leak that I can't find. I think they are related in some way.

This is a follow up from the old forums... I had bought a DC CDI for my Lance Scooter and it did not work at all. In discussion, it ended with "If I find one that works, tell us.." Well, I found one that works, and works great. This really revs everything up, but it still didn't fix my problem. What's happening is... Everything runs fine while it's cold. After it's warmed up, it starts losing power and at high rpms it stalls out. If I slow down, it rights itself, but still losing power. Runs great cold though. The problem is not the carb, coil, spark plug, fuel enricher, CDI, valves, or air intake. I'm at a lost now.

Well, I looked and I can't find the actual ingredients in brake fluid, just what it's "base" is. Which is basically vegetable oil. So it must be the additives they put in it that is so bad, which I can't determine what they are. Only thing I can find is, it's stuff to keep the glycerin from absorbing moisture. I guess I will just leave it at that.

Why all the danger warnings on brake fluid??
They are mostly glycol ethers, which is used in make- up, sun screen, and tons of other stuff we put on our body.
Please explain.
