Hey! I just found your videos on here! I'm so excited! I just picked up a running "Chinese scooter" for dirt cheap! It looks VERY similar to the one you have done videos on but it has cruzin150 and a model number (I'm assuming) on the rear fenders. Where and how did you find an owner's manual on these things?! I have watched what video's of yours I could find trying to figure out how to maintain this thing. 😂🤣 I look forward to your reply!

You can run the breather hose from the valve cover to your foam air filter. Most foam filters have 2 layers and you can just tuck it in between them. Basically this just allows the engine to burn vapors that come out of the valve cover. If you don't connect the hose to anything, that's OK too.

Over 15 volts is pretty high. Gel batteries are basically a normal lead acid battery, but the acid is less of a liquid so it can't spill easily. I'm a big fan of cheap Amazon batteries for scooters.

Hi. Was wondering if heard of this one. I have out of the valve cover breather fuel and oil mix missing out. I have replaced the oil obviously and a new petcock fitted. I also have new carb to fit. Just don't want it happening again if its related to something else.

@LabCoatPaul

2 жыл бұрын

A little bit of oil coming out of the valve cover vent is normal. It's part of the positive crankcase ventilation system, or PCV. Piston rings don't seal perfectly, so when the engine is running some of the combustion pressure and a little bit of gas, can get into the crank case with the oil. The breather vent on the valve cover lets those extra fuel vapors back out. The hose should be routed to the air box so the engine can burn those vapors. Too much oil or gas coming out of the valve cover can be caused by having your oil overfilled, having your carburetor tuned too rich, or bad piston rings.

I'm confused because these are far apart itself.

@LabCoatPaul

The PCV takes extra vapors from the crankcase and routes them back into the intake. If you have gas in your oil, some of it will evaporate and go through the PCV back into the intake. If you your oil has a lot of fuel contamination, change your oil. The purpose of the PCV system is to prevent vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. It’s an emissions component.

@piquecuriosity

3 ай бұрын

Thanks for your answer but still i did not get it exactly. As far as i know the only pcv component in this bike is a port on the petcock and a hose out of it to the air intake. So, when gases pass through the piston and escape to the crankcase then how our pcv component recall them from crankcase to petcock again. It is a long way and it should be some vacuum or any other force that gases to be drawn out again. but inversely once the gases escape down the piston there is no force to take it out again upward to my logic. Please tell me if i'm wrong. In cars, there are some other hoses crankcase to connect air intake and it is logical but in this bike there is no direct connection between crankcase and air intake. So, i just dont understand how the escape gases in the crankcase can go back to petcock again without additional route like in the cars.@@LabCoatPaul

LCP, get videos, I’ve got a couple questions which I hope you can answer. My scooter is similar however on my gas tank I have another hose besides the one for fuel. It’s on the right side of the gas tank and it runs to something I’d think is the pvc valve, then further runs to what I think is the egr valve, now the question I have here is can I just cut that hose and plug it up so no gas leaks out? Question 2, is it necessary to cut that piece off the air filter box or can I just drill a hole in and insert the hose? As for question 1, I can send you pix if I didn’t explain it well enough. Thank you, LW

@LabCoatPaul

If your gas tank is in the floor, like my scooter, you'll have a fuel hose going up to a pump, then to the carburetor. The other hose coming from the tank is a vent hose. It's routed to the charcoal canister to store the fuel vapors and burn them later. It's ok to leave that hose disconnected, but I recommend running it to the air filter box, so if fuel evaporates it can go back into the engine. Don't plug the fuel tank vent. It's not necessary to cut parts of the air box. I just did it to have the minimum number of parts.

There is actually another hose going into that canister as well besides the line from what I think is probably a pct valve. On the other side of that canister is a nipple or stud or whatever it would be called to which nothing is connected, so I was stumped and hoping I could eliminate that whole setup.

Yes, you can install a foam filter instead of the air box if you want. I recommend running the PCV hose to the foam filter so it still burns vapors from the crankcase. A foam pod filter will make your engine much louder. If your stock airbox flows correctly, a foam filter will not improve performance. A foam filter makes the biggest difference if you've installed a bigger piston and bigger carburetor.

If it's running out of gas, there are a few things to check. If your gas tank is lower than the carburetor, you'll need to check the fuel pump. If the gas tank is higher than the carburetor, check the fuel petcock. Disconnect the fuel hose from the carburetor and put it in a cup. Crank the engine and make sure you get fuel. It's also possible to get vapor lock in the gas tank. If your scooter dies after riding, open the gas cap and close it again. If it runs after that, you have a bad gas cap. You could also have a dirty carburetor. Take the float bowl off and check your fuel inlet valve.
