Post by chuckklr98 »

2 stroke oil leak around air mix adjust screw in back of carb. 2t 150cc 08.

I cant seem to figure out where its coming from. Is there an o ring I need to replace?

does not seem to be coming from around the oil mix pump area.

if your talking about the puddle of oil at the back of the carb box don't worry nothing is leaking. they all do it

It's fuel/oil vapor chuffing back through the carb when you nail the throttle. Vapor and oil gets on the air filter, and the fuel vapor is sucked back in or evaporates, leaving the oil do slowly drip down into the carb body. messy things, those stellas, but I love a dirty girl.
