Small Amount of Fuel or Oil in Airbox By lileria (Read 1,912 times)

Ok, you were quite right. I removed the oil dipstick and waited a little over 10 seconds while liquid poured into a container I'd set up. It did smell like gas mixed with oil.

I noticed something today as well. There is a broken gasket on the valve cover. Is there supposed to be a gasket (broken or not) on the exterior of the valve cover. I thought a gasket would be lining the inside...I will try to get photos of this today if necessary.

That is a rubber piece comes in two halfs and it goes on the Edge of the PLASTIC shrouds, not needed but you can get them if you want.

Ok, I see. How can I make sure that any gas will not mix with the oil again while I'm attempting to resurrect this scooter?

You have to get it so it STARTS on 1 or 2 short hits of the starter. If you have to crank and crank to get it started then something is not adjusted right and if you don't fix it that is what you will have gas in the oil and you will have to change it more often.

Ok, I had some time today to replace the gear and engine oil. The gear oil that was drained was surprising little, I believe I inserted more than was in there. I did as you suggested (hit starter 2 short times and check the spark plug) and I can tell you that there was in fact moisture on it.
