New guy to the scooter world

[Blackspree]

Hi I'm a new guy to this world. My wife always wanted one so started my craigslist search and found a good one for $350, so today is my first time taking the body apart I downloaded the online manual I noticed some things look out of place. Here's a pic I notice I missing the oil container and oil lines coming off the pump are pluged. Is my first two-stroke this is my first scooter.

Hello...

Your 2-stroke oil injection system has been bypassed. I have seen the oil pump check valve stick slightly open and positive flow oil 24/7. Its not hard to get used replacement pump if that is the case.

You will need to run premix now. Its been a few months since looked at the carb mount on a spree - but something looks amiss.

Looks like the cooling shrouds are missing off the cylinder. Keep in mind the scoot is air cooled and these shrouds and absolutely necessary to keep your piston / cylinder from overheating (piston seize).

If not running... start with new plug, clean carb, clean air filter (and re-oil), new fluids - should start if you have enough compression.

Best of luck.

Thanks I removed the cooling shrouds to check put the engine thanks for telling how important they are. The guy I bought it from told me to run 1:50 oil mix. I got a new plug yesterday and added seafoam to the mix as well
