I finally have luck on my side lol. I found that the white oil was white due to the oem carburetor having almost no seals still good on it. In fact it needed so much work to fix that I just bought a new carb. I bought a performance neochrome exhaust system, which fits well. Well not on the old cylinder head. I installed just a new 50cc cylinder head. I was going to get a big bore kit but the thing wasn’t even trying to start with the old carb and I wanted to make sure the low compression was fixed first before any mods. I installed a new 50cc piston and new rings, and the new head and the new exhaust fits like a glove onto it. And I nearly screamed when I finally heard the thing running. After spending like 4 hours figuring out why it wouldn’t start I realized I put the darn cam lobes upside down. So the valves were reversed lol. I fixed that then ruined my driveway by forgetting a valve cover. It runs great, and the new stator is working. I’ll give it a good warmup tomorrow once I install the fan and the plastic ducts. I’m not done with this scooter yet and my next step will be modifying it as much as I can. Thanks for the help so far though! This forum is the main reason I’ve gotten this far!
Also the oil is now yellow but I know from previous experience building a motorbike for a friend that two stroke oil turns yelllow if used in a 4T. So simple fix!! Yay!

I picked one up for $100 a few months ago. It is quick for a 50cc (compared to a 4 stroke anyway) Mine had a bad fuel tank and damaged plastics, so it is now in the process of getting some custom frame work, motorcycle gas tank, cafe racer style seat and custom headlight/turn signals to come. I love the yellow wheels. It rides much smoother than other scooters I've been on.
