I get like~100 MPG, with my 110cc, if I dont drive like a maniac. :19:
30 is way low for a 50cc, remember a tank of gas does not = 1 GAL. :16:

thanks for response.. guess i'll have to measure how big my tank is.. i thought it would be at least 1 gal... after 30miles, my tank is empty.. could it be something wrong with bike that is causing it to suck up so much gas?? there is no gas leak that i can see..

30 miles/tank is still way low. Did you turn the pet cock on the Carb to reserve after the first main tank ran out? Try that.:16:

I too have a 50cc clone. My bet is that the line on the inside is eithe pinched or on the wrong bung of the tank. Mine was both! I took the tank out, put new lines on it, and fixed it all up. Your bike has a .66 gallon tank on there. Should be good for a 60 mile range I'd think.

air filter is not dirty... as for the pinched lines... is that something fairly simple to do?? i am mechanically inclined, but i have never taken apart a bike before...
