Gas gauge not working and oil light on.

Ok I got the thing running. Now the issue is the oil light is stuck on and the gas gauge doesn't work. When I 1st got the scooter the oil light wasn't on. It has oil and gas in it. All other things on the cluster work.

Re: Need for me speed please

Re: Wont stay running wont drive.

Ok I figured out the issue of why it wouldnt run. The exhaust was clogged. Got it cleaned out and now it starts right up and sounds good.

Now a new issue. It doesn't want to stay running when under a load it goes for a few seconds and then just shuts off.
