Don't expect much more than you found in the gearbox; they don't hold much. That bottle of gear oil will last a long time.
I've thought about China Riders decals and t-shirts. I'd display 'em with pride. Did you remove the filters on the quads?

i have no idea where the filters would even be ......there was only one drain plug on both machines.....where would the filters be? and the gear box on hers has allot more space in it for oil than what came out.

ok dunderhead me found out through google that the plug i removed on the 150 (with the spring) was in fact the filter location (i didn't quite remove it because of the spring and just re-installed it after the oil was drained) so will remove it again and pull the filter out and clean that tonight after work.
is there a filter on the zong 250 as I could only find one plug on the underside of the motor.

I'm not 100% on the 250, but I'm guessing that there's a cap on the left side that's similar to the cap you removed on the 150. The filter lives in there.

well found both filters and cleaned them up and re-installed.
filled up with new oil and took them for a burn around the block a couple of times .....mine goes like snot but hers still seems to be lacking.....me thinks an overhaul is around the corner for the 150

A less restrictive muffler and a free-flowing air filter are worth a few ponies. You need to re-jet to compensate.

It depends upon how long it was running. If it went for a good run and you have an oil control problem, it's not normal. If you only ran it for a minute and it read low, just give it a few minutes and check it again. The oil pump sends oil to the top end, and it takes a bit for it to return to the bottom.
