Hello again,
I went to try and adjust the fuel to air mixture screw tonight and I was having a hard time because the frame of the bike was in the way and I didn't want to tear all of the plastic off again. While I was looking around I saw that the fuel filter was installed backwards from the factory. Once the engine was primed the bike fired right up and I suspect that could cause fuel flow issues. I tried to record the white smoke I was seeing before but once the bike was started and running for a while I couldn't see it any more. I'm not expecting that it is fixed 100% so I will reply back tomorrow after I drive it to the gas station and fill it up.
Thanks for all of your help,
Chris

I will in the morning, I am a pilot and I have a decent understanding of how 4 stroke engines work so I am quite sure that it is a fuel issue but I have no idea how to fix it. Once I close the mixture screw and reopen it I will get back to you. I should have some more info in the morning.
Thanks,
Chris

Its hard to see the smoke, I have to use a flashlight and shine it on the exaust to see it. It does smell like fuel. I will take some photos and video tomorrow with my phone / gopro but I have no idea if I can actualy get the bike to start.

So it seems that the scooter is still having issues. I had a hard time starting it today, once I did it started spewing white smoke when I opened the throttle. Im thinking about just replacing the entire carb. Is that a good idea? What else should I try?
Thank you,
Chris

Hello again,
I recieved the parts from Ebay and am happy to report that my bike is running now!. I replaced the spark plug with a preformance plug (the old one was black) and that seems to be helping to burn all of the fuel. I tore out the emissions cylinder and blocked off the hoses as I was told to and I am hopeful that will solve the venting issue. I also checked the air filter to make sure that it wasn't running rich and the filter looked good.
Thank you all so much for your help, I will post updates if things start to break down again.

Thanks, I am ordering the parts I need from Ebay to try and fix this today. Ill find stuff to shove in there and let you guys know what happens. Im going to replace the spark plug and remove the emissions canister first and then try adjusting the carb.

What is the best way to block off the connections from the air box and the vacume sources?

Yes the white smoke does smell like fuel. Yes there is a canister on it, is there a tutorial on how to remove it? I don't live in California and my last scooter didn't have one. I will get the tools I need to do the valves. On a side note I went down to my bike today and it started up without any issue but I am sure the next time I try and start it up it won't  |

Hello,
I recently purchased a 150cc GY6 scooter and it ran fine for a while but now at 700 miles I have been having problems. While riding the scooter it will bog down, I originaly though it was a problem with a vacume being formed in the gas tank so I would remove the cap and then crank the bike and it would restart. The problem has become worse, I am geting white smoke out of the exaust and it is becoming harder to start the bike. I am planing on replacing the spark plug because I suspect it is fouled at this point and working on the carberator this weekend but I was hoping some one might have an idea of where I could start to trouble shoot the issue.
I can also say that when I would crank the engine over for a while I would smell fuel but now when I crank it over I don't smell anything.
Thank you,
Chris
