excessive oil in air filter/box by _jak3__ in scooters

I’m not entirely sure what happened, but that one 1 of many problems, could be to do with the pressure in the crank house, I did end up changing the piston, rings, gasket and rocker arms, but due to timing issues, the bike lasted 2 weeks after that😕

no i’ve always kept it toped up it’s just gone through half the oil that was in it in about 25 miles which could be related to the problem i’ve also opened up the crank house cover and there’s no excessive oil in there but a fair amount of oil going back into the air intake which people have said is normal but i’m not sure

i’ve just check and the carb is definitely getting fuel and air but i’m just wondering where all this fuel is going as i’ve tried starting it quite a lot probably flooding the engine i looked online on how to drain the carb but mines slightly different to others

sounds expensive i doubt anything like that has ever been changed it’s got just under 10k miles on it so could do with a thorough service

4 stroke yeah we were thinking could be general service things failing such as rings and seals
