You have a 4T, but here's more info for you if you wanna learn more about antiques : 49ccscoot.proboards.com/thread/343/basic-guide-strokes-4t-worksYou almost got the name on a guess. The extender for your ratchet is called an extension. You can get them at Lowes, Sears, Harbro Freight, prob even Wal-Mart. You will need to know the drive size of your ratchet... most likely 1/4" or 3/8". If you aren't aware of that just measure the square bit that sockets attach to. 1. That is your airbox inlet. Tightening the clamp should fix any leaks. I'm guessing there's a lot of oil vapor finding it's way in there from the crankcase vent. 2. That's a spot for oil to collect and that can be drained, since you have an attachment to the crankcase vent. 3. The air filter should not be dripping oil. They're usually dry from the factory, and even if it were air fitler oil it should not be dripping wet. It sounds like you have an abundance of oil making it's way into your airbox. Haven't been overfilling the oil have you?

2 stroke scooters are faster and have more power. We like them because... well because faster! lol most are 4 stroke. they are making less 2 strokes now and most old bikes are 2 strokes but usually has nothing to do with it on here.
you mean like an extender to put on the end of the wrench to move it closer to the screw/bolt?
first picture looks like something spilled on the air filter hose.
not sure about the second one, maybe its a breather tube or something?
the foam should be oiled, whether or not it should be "dripping" I'm not sure.
Carb looks fine, clean even lol.
Sorry I couldn't be much help, I'm not to good with the 4 strokes and stuff.
EDIT: 90gtvert beat me to it, listen to him he knows his 4 strokes lol

Wow thanks for answering all my questions!! I probably won't have much new to say until I get some more tools and order the gear puck and speedo cable. I hope I can find the exact right parts that I need (I guess I will try to search for the manual for a Gator?). I'll post links here first to get your guys' opinion before I order them.
Also, should I go ahead and get an impact wrench while I'm at Lowe's since I'll probably need it for the CVT belt (they looked like I could get one for under $30 - does that sound right?)or should I get the case off first and have a look before buying it? I guess what I'm asking is, given my symptoms of "not having enough 'umph' to get up a hill" and general slowness, is it pretty likely that the belt is at fault, or is it reasonable that, say, leaky vacuum or fuel hoses, or a dirty carburetor could be at fault?
Again, thanks for all your help guys!! I am learning so much!!

under $30 would be a great price if you did find one.
if its an air powered one make sure you have an air compressor you can hook it up to.
I believe harbor freight has a $25 "emergency" 12v impact that I read worked for someone on here.
Definitely will need an impact to take apart the CVT along with a socket for the variator nut. (not sure on size of yours so you will have to measure)
its possible for a lot of things I guess for the lack of power your describing.
if it were an air to fuel mixture problem I'd expect to hear of surging stumbling or general strange behavior of the engine from you so I don't think that that is it unless you are leaving that out.
It could be that you have really low compression but I don't think it would start if compression was THAT low, so I think some part of the CVT must be messed up, but really can't tell from just that description.
If you want to open up the CVT first you can, but for working on the CVT and in general nuts and bolts on the scooter, an impact is an amazing tool to have.

ok thanks, I will wait on the impact wrench and first take the cover off and inspect the belt. I should wait because I definitely will not have an air compressor! So hopefully if one is needed the 12 volt ones I saw online for under $30 will have to work.

Truthfully I can't believe someone hasn't chimed in saying they have a puck for that rim laying out in their garage in a bin somewhere.

I'm having trouble finding a manual specifically "Gator"... I've heard that "all Chinese scooters are the same with different labels slapped on them" - Do I have the GY6? Is that the 139QMB? I downloaded the GY6 service manual and the 139QMB engine manual. Will these have part numbers or anything that will help me when ordering parts? Is there a better resource for finding what parts I'll need?
Fox I know you linked this one www.pccmotor.com/scspspdrgegy.html and it says it will work for GY6 49cc, have you used this company before, I will order from them I guess, and look to see if they have a cable too.
Thanks!!
Edit: This the cable that I need?? www.pccmotor.com/spspcagy6chm.html

You have a 139QMB /1P39QMB / QMB139 / GY6 50. Don't order parts just for a GY6 or GY6 125-150. Most Chinese scoots have no service manual specifically for them. We're lucky to get a comprehensible owner's manual. Don't mind the part numbers in manuals for the most part. It's easiest IMO to use sites like PFS and Scrappy that have sections just for certain engine platforms, checking out any pics and specs they share prior to ordering so it can be matched up. Some eBay sellers are good about posting lots of pics and measurements.

on these chinese scooters usually the engines are identical but the bodies and brakes speedo wheels seats etc. can be different.

I have bought from PCC a whole bunch of times but never online. I drive to them in person since they are only a1/2 hour drive. They are a good dealer. If that puck ain't right I will do something embarrassing on camera and post it. The puck has a slot in it that will fit over the little tab that sticks out on the fork tube when you install the puck. That keeps the puck from spinning. Important that you get that right.

To post pics and have them show up you click on the little icon above the post box that looks like a picture and a box will pop up. Then you paste the direct link into the box, click insert image and the pic will appear. After looking at that picture again, I am positive that you can remove that little spacer/washer that's next to the axle nut and put it on the axle with the small side against the wheel bearing and then stack washers up till you fill in that space and then you could ride it.

I just went ahead and ordered the parts since I don't have any washers anyway, total came to only $31 and it needs to get done so I may as well just do it. So in a week when they get here, I'll install and take pictures and then move on to take the cover off the CVT to look at the belt. So the contact information said Ontario though? I thought they were in California?

Ontario, Ca. is about 30-35 mi. east of Downtown Los Angeles. www.google.com/maps/place/1180+E+Francis+St,+Ontario,+CA+91761/@34.039813,-117.633676,5686m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x80c33490e88a1865:0xdea1391dae9a7851!6m1!1e1?hl=en-US
