Ya it stalls when I ride it in the snow. I had adjusted the idle higher to see if that will help. I'm sure you have figured out I now next to nothing about mini bikes.

Should my bike be leaking fuel from the drain valve constintly well riding?
Also what is the mixing ratio 50:1? What is that exactly?

float needle maybe stuck open ? causing leak , as for 50 :1 it mean the ratio of gas to oil .
this is for 2 strokes , and 2 stroke oils must be used .
So for 50 parts of gas , you have 1 part oil!
so , 50 ml of gas equals , 1 ml of oil .
1000 ml = 1 litre

1000/50 = 20 x 1 = 20

so on 1 litre , you need 20 ml of oil.
to break it down further , a teaspoon is 5ml , a tablespoon is 15 ml .
So 4 level teaspoons to 1 litre of oil is 50:1
this is a lean mix , and should only be used after a break in period ! Most manuals on the bikes you have purchased tell you the best method to break bike in with !

So for the break in period I would need to put 40ml of oil in 1 liter of gas?
