Oil Leaking Up into The Air Filter Compartment?
Hi everyone...
I have a Viva Xenon Phantom R4i 150cc scooter (GY6 engine).
I recently had work done to my bike including:
new high performance 30mm carb and intake.
high performance V8 carbon fiber exhaust
I had the piston chamber bored out to 170cc and installed the whole bore kit - new larger piston
racing roller weights and clutch springs
new racing magneto
The local shop that did the installation for me said that installing the high performance air filter is not recommended. They advised me to keep the factory air filter on the bike so I did.
I've had the bike out of the shop for 2 days and decided while breaking it in to take it on a trip about 50 miles away.
When I got to my destination, I noticed that oil was splattered all down the plastic under the seat between my legs area.
I noticed a crack in the plastic in the air filter compartment. I saw that oil was leaking from that area. I took the screws out of the cover and saw oil in the compartment and some on the tube leading up into the filter compartment. The air filter soaked with some oil. I cleaned it up and put epoxy on the cover to fix the crack.
What should I do?
Is the bike driveable?
Should I rinse the air filter with water to clean it of the oil?
Should there be oil in that compartment?
Thank You for any and all suggestions!
-Mike
