I have a taotao 50cc with about 6000 miles on it. About a week ago, I smelled something I can only explain smelling like burnt trash coming from the engine. I rode home, changed the oil, gear oil and cleaned the air filter. Now today I rode it again and it started hesitating, jeeking back and forth it seemed like going up a hill. Any thoughts on what could be happening? Clutch is what I'm guessing.

Burnt smell is most likely the belt. It's slipping or is ready to break.
