1. What did you have to remove to see oil pump gear? Was the gasket intact or did you install a new one?

2. When you say that you have replaced the valves, are you referring to cylinder intake/exhaust valves or something else?

Incredible that they make such a crucial part of the engine of plastic material.
I would be willing to bet (even though I am not keen on conspiracy theories...) that this could be a part of "programmed engine failure". I cannot explain this in any other way.

Gf's A125 has 30.000 kms and I wonder if it should be replaced...

The 125 has a chain and sprocket instead of the plastic pump.   I meant to mention it before, but it slipped my mind.

There are probably a lot of Markos in Croatia, but there is a fellow who goes by "narx" online who had a Firefox 180 that was pretty heavily tuned.  We used to chat online a good bit.  I never knew if he got out of scooters, or what.  He linked me to some photos of the country once and all I can say is that it looks like a beautiful place!  I think I'd have to avoid working in the living room or parking lot and work on the scooter on some beautiful beach.

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS!
I remember now seeing chain somewhere in "exploding diagrams", but for some reason I was thinking the chain drives valves, not oil pump? Or it does both?

Checked online, narx lives in the capital of the country, I am 150 kms to the south, on the coast.
They say the country is nice, but I think that is propaganda, the same goes for every country. Every country (well, almost every) is beautiful. I have been everywhere, from Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan to Egypt and Turkey and I liked most places I saw. I guess there are some nice things to be seen in U S of A too.

Pfft.  Videos on 4-stroke stuff?  No way!

...

Acutally, I've made a Ruckus valve adjustment video but... don't tell anyone.

Anyway, here are those photos:

I wonder if this is whats going on with my scoot

Pull out your oil screen, and look for plastic bits. It would make for hard starting, and VERY short run time
