leak at front tire and issues with starting (Adly GTA 50)

[dscooter]

Hey all,

I am new on here, and to forums in general. I have my second scooter, and Adly GTA 50, that has about 6,000 miles on it and everything has been going pretty good with it so far. I ride it about 50 miles 5 days a week to go to work. Anyways, I have two questions.
1) I have some issues sometimes when I am starting my scooter. Often it will not start when I use the ignition button and the kick starter, instead I have to use both of them at the same time to start it. I've checked the air filter and it seems very clean, as does the carburetor. I'm not really sure what it is cause sometimes it will go away for weeks at a time and then it comes back and if it starts and I don't keep my hand on the gas it dies away and then I have to let it sit for a minute before it will start again.

2) The other issue is that I noticed the there was a leak from a tube connected to the front wheel. It happened one morning and I have not noticed it yet. I have a pic of of it. It is coming from where the tube meets the metal.  Here is the link - tinypic.com/3ia98vna -  look forward to hearing back. Thanks!

With two strokes any sort of starting issue I would change the plug. They do get oiled up sometimes.

The tube going into the front wheel is the Speedo drive. A metal cable turns inside it. Oil is probably working its way down. Just wipe it off and make sure the connection is tight.
