    Hello, I have this problem. I've had my scooter for a few years now, in the past going up the same hill didn't make it as choked as it is now, on top of that after a long ride it lacks power and I have to pull over e.g. to a stop, wait a while, and a miraculous recovery occurs. :P .

    Model in evidence WANGYE WY50QT - 7A a. On the sides it says Benzel Barnet. 05995 km driven.

    Other than that the scooter is unlocked, it used to be able to go 90km/h and now at 70km/h something like, I don't know how to describe it, it rings like a little chain and won't go any faster. I haven't done anything about it over the years because I don't ride much and I've been saving it, but it's this problem with the top end that has me thinking and asking you guys.

    I've taken the cover apart where the drive belt is to see what's there and how it's there, but I haven't deduced much, I've taken a video, maybe someone can advise/advise.



    .

    I noticed something else today before always when I fired up the scooter it would add gas and the wheel would spin in the air and in that air it would always spin a little bit now when the scooter fires up it doesn't have this so called suction and the wheel stalls.

    BTW what are these sprockets for and what are they because they don't spin?

    Hello.
    This "zembot" is from the starter.
    Have you checked the compression?
    Greetings.

    Actually it's the starter, now I see.

    I haven't checked the compression, I don't know how to do it (yet? because maybe I can find it on the net just like with the copter lubrication).

    Hello.
    My engine in a HANGLONG 50QT16 ran out after about 8000 km - the intake valve seat in the head fell out. The result - it was very hard to start the moped, total loss of power (no compression). To check the compression you will need a manometer for checking petrol engines. You can buy such a "mouthpiece" for a few dozen PLN on the well-known auction portal All...ro.
    Regards.

    The first follows from the second.
    If there is no so-called compression it means that the "engine is worn out" in very general terms.
    The cylinder has been scraped by the rings and the piston is unable to create adequate compression pressure.
    The rings have been so badly scraped by the cylinder that they are unable (despite sealing) to create adequate compression pressure, and what follows....
    Several more reasons can be given for this.
    Where did this come from?
    Stressing the "Pikus" beyond its capacity.
    Recommendations - fix it, thank Pikus and apologise to Pikus for this behaviour that knows no restraint.
    Clearly, other reasons will also be found.
    Here, clearly - wear and tear on the engine.
    Other reasons, worse for the whole machine.

    If this lack of power is caused by a significant drop in engine speed - especially when driving uphill, then as written above - a worn engine.
    If, however, it manifests itself by the fact that (when going uphill) the engine is running at high revs and the scooter is slowing down, the reason could be a worn belt and possibly a clutch.
    The clutch is the component you were spinning and asking/not knowing what it is.

    Greetings.

    Perhaps replacing the belt and the whole variator would help. Maybe the variator plates are already "worn out" and the belt has had enough, it doesn't pull as it should and there are slips....

    If you answer the theses in post #6, you might get a more detailed clue, otherwise we can only speculate. Unless you go to some mechanic.

    Well going uphill it's like this it rides going slower and slower the engine doesn't howl it doesn't get tired it just slows down and you can feel every bump of the bump giving it the revving power to get up the hill but these small scooters are almost all like this this this hill quite large and long but years ago it was manageable....

    When riding on the straight it went 90 without a problem and when I took an aerodynamic position it even went more :P Now at 70 it is already cutting off and doing as I wrote like little bells or keys from an aluminum can to shake in the bag

    And after prolonged driving it sometimes happens as if it runs out of fuel or something and runs out of power that when you add on the handle it does not change anything it gets weaker but keeps revving and you have to wait a while and a miraculous recovery happens everything is normal again here I suspect the fuel filter

    in the evening i watched a couple of videos on YT from "Centrum Motocyklowe" and i understood a few things and i already know what i can grease and what i can't check the compression and i will try to go to someone but the thing is that neither friends of friends do not deal with scooters because it does not pay them in money/time they prefer to repair motorbikes because they make more money and all i hear is i have no time i have no time I have no time and the services in our country do not have a flattering opinion more they broke as they did and you have to look for parts yourself because you know scooter = Chinese crap if you unscrew something you can no longer screw it and this type of texty from professionals because you know Service and scooter shop must turn around business tell your grandfather that it can not be repaired then buy a new one then the old one for scrap and they buy back after acquaintance for parts

    Today the weather was good and I had a chance to check it for the last time before leaving for a business trip on a hill, it went out completely on full power and I couldn't get someone to check the pressure on the pistons etc. so far I haven't found anyone with the time to do it, but I'm not going to do it myself because it's rumoured that something can go wrong with the electrical system that is responsible for the voltage at the spark plug or something like that.

    I would rather not make any effort with equipment that requires so little money. A colleague asked and we suggested...
    That's all there is to it. The machine is simply worn out. It can be resuscitated, but for what sins??

    Check the variator pulleys.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around the performance issues of a WANGYE WY50QT-7A scooter, particularly its struggles with uphill climbs and power loss after extended rides. The owner notes a significant decrease in speed, from 90 km/h to around 70 km/h, accompanied by unusual sounds resembling a chain. Responses suggest potential causes including worn engine components, lack of compression, and issues with the variator, clutch, or drive belt. Recommendations include checking engine compression, inspecting the variator pulleys, and possibly replacing the belt and variator. The owner also suspects a fuel filter issue due to symptoms resembling fuel starvation after prolonged use.

FAQ

TL;DR: On a GY6 50cc, an intake valve seat failed at ~8000 km, causing "total loss of power (no compression)". Start diagnosis by checking compression with a petrol-engine manometer; testers cost a few dozen PLN. This FAQ helps WY50QT-7A owners solve uphill power loss and post-ride fade. [Elektroda, D_Mrozu, post #18710059]

Why it matters: It points you to the right first checks so you don’t waste money on the wrong parts.

Quick Facts

Why does my WY50QT-7A lose power uphill?

Two patterns diagnose it fast. If engine RPM drops a lot, the engine is worn and compression is low. If RPM stays high but speed falls, the CVT is slipping from belt or clutch wear. Start with a compression check, then inspect belt, variator, and clutch. [Elektroda, DjMapet, post #18710623]

How do I tell belt/clutch slip from engine wear on a hill?

Watch RPM. High revs while slowing means belt or clutch slip. Low revs and bogging indicate compression loss and engine wear. "The clutch is the component you were spinning." Check CVT parts if RPM stays up; test compression if RPM drops. [Elektroda, DjMapet, post #18710623]

What is the small gear under the CVT cover that doesn’t spin?

It’s the starter gear. It engages only during electric starting, so it won’t spin with the engine running on the stand. That behavior is normal and not a fault. [Elektroda, D_Mrozu, post #18710054]

How do I check compression on this 50cc GY6 engine?

Use a petrol‑engine compression gauge. 1. Remove the spark plug and fit the gauge snugly. 2. Hold the throttle wide open and crank until the reading peaks. 3. Compare to typical spec and repeat to verify. Warm testing improves consistency. [GY6 50cc 139QMB Service Manual]

What compression should a healthy 50cc GY6 show?

Typical warm readings are about 8–12 bar (≈120–175 psi) with the throttle fully open. Readings far below this suggest leakage past rings, valves, or the head gasket. Re‑test after a teaspoon of oil to differentiate rings from valves. [GY6 50cc 139QMB Service Manual]

My scooter tops out near 70 km/h and rattles like keys. What’s likely?

Expect CVT issues. Worn variator faces and a tired belt can slip and rattle at speed, capping top speed. Replacing the belt and variator together often restores pull and quiet operation. Inspect for glazing, grooves, and cracking. [Elektroda, wojtek1234321, post #18711236]

After a long ride it bogs until I stop. What should I check first?

Identify the RPM pattern. If RPM drops with the bog, check compression for engine wear. If RPM remains high while speed fades, inspect the belt and clutch for heat‑related slip. Prioritize these checks before chasing fuel issues. [Elektroda, DjMapet, post #18710623]

It slows on hills without the engine howling. Is the engine worn out?

Yes, that points to low compression rather than CVT slip. You feel power fade while RPM won’t rise. “Here, clearly – wear and tear on the engine.” Confirm with a compression test before opening the top end. [Elektroda, folkswagen, post #18710061]

Is rebuilding a worn budget 50cc engine worth it?

If compression is gone and top‑end parts are failing, parts and labor can exceed the scooter’s value. As one expert put it, “The machine is simply worn out. It can be resuscitated, but for what sins??” Weigh costs before committing. [Elektroda, folkswagen, post #18882698]

What uncommon failures should I consider, and at what mileage?

An intake valve seat can drop out and kill compression. One rider saw this around 8,000 km, leading to very hard starting and no power. This is rarer than belt or clutch wear but catastrophic when it occurs. [Elektroda, D_Mrozu, post #18710059]

Should I replace the variator and belt together?

Yes, if the variator faces are worn or grooved and the belt shows wear. Swapping both removes slip points and recovers acceleration and top speed. Inspect before ordering, then replace as a set if wear is evident. [Elektroda, wojtek1234321, post #18711236]

What part was I spinning in my CVT video?

That was the clutch assembly. If it’s worn or glazed, it will slip under load while the engine revs climb. Inspect shoes and bell for glazing, heat spots, and uneven wear. Replace worn parts to restore drive. [Elektroda, DjMapet, post #18710623]
