Yea, I was working with the carb, and I noticed a hose running from the front of the engine (actually at the top of the "jug" I suppose), and it runs to the intake hose between the carb and the airbox. I removed the intake hose, and the hose from the front of the engine, and I noticed there wasn't much wetness in the carb or the intake hose, but the hose coming from the front of the engine appears to be wet. Also it is a vacuum hose as well. I turned the idle way down on the carb, and I haven't had any more flooding problems. I'm assuming the fuel/air mix was out of wack. Cus one way gives you more fuel and less air, and the other more air and less fuel. I believe I was getting to much fuel and not enough air, thus causing the gas to fill into the airbox. Eitherway, I appreciate everyones help, if I have anymore problems I'll ask.
I do have a question though. I recently completed the break-in period on my scooter and it says to change the engine oil after the first 300 miles. It also says to change the gear lube after 300 miles. I used Quaker State Ultimate 10W-30 for the engine oil, and MasterPro 85W-90 GL-5 Gear Lube. I was unsure at the time, but should I run 10W-40 for the engine oil? I didn't think the oil would need that much viscosity for a moped, but you never know. Also, is that an adequate gear lube to use?
And another question, does anyone think it worthwhile to add one of those "Performance Boxes" to my moped? A friend told me that they plug in next to the battery, and its pretty much like a Cherry Bomb for a four-wheeler. Just enhances torque and speed. If it's a good idea, anyone know of a good brand to buy?
