Just got a scooter given to me to get to work but was pritty bad state. I have done all the plastics sanded back damage and resprayed and new decals. It is not up to some of the scooter pics on this site but looks very good to me. I have change battery,spark plug and breaks. Now I want to drop the oil as very smokie can anyone tell me were to find sump plug on this scooter.

Any other tips on reducing smoke or if can use engine cleaner (the stuff u add to petrol) please let me know. completly new to all this.

I have to say started as a way to get to work but just love the scooter world now completly hooked this scooter will do me until afford a new one.

there isnt a sump plug lol? smoke to be lots of things, too much oil, shitty petrol, oil mix or piston rings.

clean the carb out and put fresh fuel in, might solve it?

i was looking all over the place now i can stop lol. I was told it had one so thought going mad not being abile to find it. :emb: (told u new to this)

how do you go about cleaning carb is there a link to how to do it. is there no way to drain oil then from a scooter how would i do it if wanted to change oil filter then. cheers :up:

its two stroke oil mate, dosnt work like a car, the oil mixes with the petrol.
if you wanna clean the carb, disconect all the pipes and throttle but remember where the pipes go, looses the clip that holds it onto the inlet then strip the carb. leave it in some carb cleaner then blow it all out with a air line.

its all pretty simple stuff to do once you learn whats what mate and you will find yourself making excuses to work on it :rofl:
