^ thanks for the advice, just ordered!

I kind of screwed up the other night when I was putting the air filter back on. I put the filter back on and decided I would let it idle for 15 min (hadn't run it in a few days)

So I put it on the side kickstand and went in to let my dog back inside from the back yard. When I returned to the garage my scooter was laying on its side (left side, same as air filter housing), gas was pouring out of it...It was still running, but bad.
I set it back up and it died. I assumed I flooded the engine so I tried to get it running again. I managed to get it running but not very well on idle. So I decided to hop on it and WOT it down the road and back to force as much gas out as I could. (Bad idea 11 pm at night in VA) I get about .5 miles down the road and decided I should turn around. When I turned around and gave it gas it died. So I was stuck in someones drive way for about 10 mins trying to get it to start again, eventually it did and i got home.
Is there anything I should do? I ran it again yesterday, and it wasn't running right. A pretty bad Idle, and it would occasionally die when i gave it throttle. I wasn't sure if the scooter has an evap canisters and maybe i just ruined mine when it fell over(idle problem). I haven't checked the plug, or the air filter (I wasnt sure if it would have fouled the plug, I figured gas wouldnt hurt the airfilter, but perhaps oil would get in it?).

Will it just take time for it to idle normally again?
Im hoping it just still has some gas in the chamber or something but its been over a week now. so im getting a little bit worried it maybe something else.

*another quick question- Is it normal for a scooters performance to drop when its pretty cold outside (30F)

Thanks a lot guys

^ Thanks for the advice, im just going to stick with the old box. Ill check out ebay and amazon for the foam filters.

Awesome thanks guys! I definitely think im going to go with an 80 I don't want to the boom lol Thanks for letting me know that there are gains on the 80cc I think id like to get an average of 35-40 on flat land to keep up with 35mph traffic.

thanks guys!

^ I was doing some searching last night and noticed that. Im thinking the 100cc kit may stress my crank and break it, so maybe an 80cc kit? would that even give me much more boost?

Ill probably stick with the 100cc since 80s the exact same price and I want as much bang for my buck as i can get. Im just wondering how long the bottom end will last lol (4k miles and almost 7 years old)

Would 80cc be cheaper in the long run/give me the same gains?

thanks!

Im almost positive this is my scooter:

Hey guys im thinking about buying this for my scooter:
www.ebay.com/itm/291020773879?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l4448&_trkparms=gh1g%3DI291020773879.N1.S2.M1211

Would i need to replace anything else if i put this in/would it work on a roketa 50cc scooter?

I noticed there were a lot of you tube videos on installing them so i doubt that would be to hard.

thanks!

I think you're right! thanks, i wish the site had some prices.

I replaced my tail light today, and took the tape off (which turned out to be a nightmare) One piece was completely held on by the tape, and on the other side i found a crappy metal bracket with screws screwed into the plastic covered by tape. Turns out fixing the plastic may be a bigger pain than i realized.

I test drove it on a some what steep hill yesterday and it was only going 15 mph and seemed to be loosing even more power. I was wondering if I replace the air filter and plug if this would fix it a little bit?

I don't have an impact wrench for the belt right now, so that's on hold.
I'm wondering how much money I should pour into this thing and if its actually worth it. I figured with the plug and air filter it would go faster up these steeper hills (because 14mph is definitely not going to cut it for me & I live in SW Virginia where there are quite a few steep hills) and those 2 parts wouldn't cost me much maybe only $20 max.

So would it be possible to get the scooter to go at least 20 up a steep hill, with only a few minor upgrades?
