If it's not one problem it's another. I'm putting the vacuum leak behind me until I get a new carb and air filter. But now I just found out why I'm getting bad gas milage. My back tire does not spin freely, I even loosened the cable with the nut. I pulled on it and wiggled it around making sure it wasn't hung up but that didn't help either.

Wow take it back what is the name of the shop again? All these things should not be happening if a proper PDI was performed

Not sure of the name of the shop. To be honest I don't think it even has a name. The guy kind of uses a old building that sells fireworks right next door. Listed on the title that I got in place of business I believe he used his name. They sell the bigger scooters. the type i got the atm's and four wheelers. all chinese. But yeah I will be seeing about taking it back for them to check out the back wheel tomorrow. hope I don't get another line about how it is natural for it to be like that. Because I go less than 50 miles on half a tank. I've tried looking online to see how much resistance a normal scooter tire should have for the rear but i can't find anyone spinning it by hand. Is it suppose to spin as easily as the front? When I attempt to spin it it automatically stops as soon as i realease my hand. in 98 percent of the full spin it's snug but the other 2 percent it gets tough.

neither your idle or the rear wheel is normal. The idle may work itself out as it breaks in but a well set up bike idles smoothly with out any modulation in rpm. Tell the guy scootdawg said to quit giving you a line and fix it...

all cv carbs have that diaphragm

The rear wheel has the belt and cvt there, that provides some resistance.
The CVT will not allow the rear wheel to spin freely, however you can spin it by hand, but it'll probably stop spinning after a second or so....

If the rear really feels like it's 'braking' try to release the rear brake somewhat.

Thanks guys. Ya I tried telling the mechanic that my cuz has basically the same scooter and his don't idle like mine. Yet he insisted that they were different even though the owner told me they were the same the day I bought mine. The tire stops immediately after I let go. I loosened the cable near the tire. What or where else can I adjust it? The brake handle doesn't go forward any further. Oh and the name of the shop where I bought it and had it worked on is called vw company in shelburn Indiana. I'm starting to wonder if i can get my money back. Less than 100 miles on it and bought it 8 days ago.

too many probably too early take it back and tell them to fix it, give your money back or have them give you a new one

have you change the gear oil that comes with crappy oil in it also but, I hope the dealer will help you most of the time the dont

No I haven't changed the gear oil. The back tire also has a wobble to it like maybe a bad drum brake? like how I mentioned earlier that for 2% of the spin it gets tough. But I'm taking it back to them today. To do one of the three things you mentioned. This time it wont be leaving their shop until it acts like a NEW scooter.

The tire can wobble somewhat, they're chinese tires, not made under a fine tolerance. just as long as the metal part of the wheel/drum doesn't wobble, it should be good.
One thing you can do, is try to remove the rear tire, and see if perhaps the drum compartment got damaged?

If the brake lever feels loose (you've loosened the cable quite something), the brakes should not be slipping.

its a new bike you shouldn't have to touch it or check anything in the first 30 miles. Not that you shouldn't check everything just that when you do it should all be good. Take it back and don't touch anything and give them a reason to void the warranty.

I've never messed with a scooter engine, but I know Urals. Ural brake drums tend to be machined a tad off center and will get tighter/looser as they rotate, which gives a mild surging sensation during braking. Just food for thought.

JMHO, but I think if I was having that much weirdness, I'd just spring for a new carb. At least then you could mark off the most complicated of the possible issues. Sounds like you purchased from a shady "dealership" that did no more than finish bolting it together (which is a common problem, no?).

Hey everyone. Sorry I ended up just taking it back to get my money back. The lady that issues the checks will be in tomorrow so I'll get my money then. So I'm sorry I took up everyone's time. I appreciate all the help I got. Thank you.

So are you looking for another...?
