Is this supposed to have some kind of cover over the end of it?

I dumped the tank and put new fuel in it. The petcock is working. And I should replace all the black hoses that move the fuel?

So I bought this 2010 taotao about 2 weeks ago. It ran fine when I test drove it. I got it home and rode it around for a few hours with no problems. I went and filled it up with gas and about 15 minutes later it started cutting out at about half throttle. I cleaned the carb out and put it back together and it ran OK for a day. Then the other day it started to progressively get worse. It would stutter and run sluggish and then run fine. But now it is to the point where it will barely go over 10mph. And going up hills is out of the question unless I get off and walk it up.
Here is a list of the things I have done to try to fix it..
I cleaned the carb I adjusted the valves to .004 with a feeler gauge (didn't change how it ran at all) Drained the gas and replaced with new 93 premium gas and ran seafoam in it The float in the carb is good The jets aren't clogged I haven't replaced the spark plug yet because the guy I bought it from replaced the plug and the wire not too long ago Tomorrow I'm gonna put a compression meter on it but I really don't think (or hope) that's the problem
So I guess my question is what does it sound like to you guys?

Everything electrical works on my scooter except my front right turn signal (the bulb is good). Just trying to see if maybe one of these are why. I can't see where they would plug in to because there's nothing for them to plug to. I wouldn't be so lucky as to find out that either of these are why my scooter is running so crappy that I have to walk it up hills?? Probably not :-(

I Am just trying to troubleshoot why my scooter is running so sluggish. I think my next move is to just drain the gas and put new gas in it. I think I have bad gas cause the carb is clean. Petcock is working. Hoses are good.

Is it the carb drain hose? does it attach at the bottom of the carb, and not go anywhere? I Am just trying to troubleshoot why my scooter is running so sluggish. I think my next move is to just drain the gas and put new gas in it. I think I have bad gas cause the carb is clean. Petcock is working. Hoses are good.

For some reason my scooter will sometimes stutter when its going. I have no choice but to ride it back n forth to work . it makes the trip fine but sometimes it has that stutter. I hope it doesn't ruin anything by driving it. I don't have any money to fix it right now so hopefully she works out

Well yesterday I went to the tech section and read everything about the carb. Screenshotted all the pics. I then proceeded to take the carb off and apart. I cleaned it out and put it back together and everything seems to run fine. It does kinda bog down and wants to hesitate going up hills. I don't know if this is normally but it made the 15 mile trip to work at 4 am this morning... Thanks a lot guys
