 Removed all extra emissions stuff. still have vacuum lock on gas tank. Little or no gas in fuel filter. For now I just cracked open the gas cap and let it rest on top. I can hear a audible hiss from vacuum. Scoot runs good so far with gas cap cracked open. Thanks again for the help. Going to scoot around today and see what this thing can do.

PS. Is there a better aftermarket fuel cap or vacuum petcock you recommend?
A better quality petcock and fuel cap would be great.

Also, can I just get rid of vacuum for fuel.... bypass the vacuum activated fuel petcock and install a manual?
: ) Just trying to bullet proof for future.

I took scooter all the way apart for a dang gas vacuum lock?!?!@  lol How do I fix this, cant ride without gas cap for long. Many thanks. Working good so far. Much better gas flow. |

ALLEYOOP~~! will check.... Forgot to mention... the fuel in filter is where you see blue line. About 1/4 - 1/6 the total fuel filter. And I have to wait for scooter to "cool" down until next day or few days for it to start back up again. Or else I just get the starter trying but no turn over. The gas filter rises slightly then goes down.    |

Just got this scoot, Taotao Roman 150cc GY6. Starts up cold like a champ. No issues, runs fine. Runs for 5-10 mins and then peters out and dies. Attempt to restart is futile. I have replaced and checked the following… 1. Carburetor: Replaced with new carb, same issue. 2. Valves: Adjusted valve clearances to .004 intake, .005exhaust. 3. Check spark plug. Looks good, No heavy deposits or not too white. *Noticed semi-clear gas filter is only ¼ full. Not sure if only ¼ full gas filter has anything to do with this or not. I “feel” that this is a warm up issues, after warmup / heat issue causing this. Please advise oh great Chinese scooter masters.      |

Sounds good to me.
Is there a GY6 engine on ebay or other scooter shop etc that already has bore kit and upgrades I can purchase and bolt on?
Im sure a few guys love to tweak these things out and sell them ready to go. I wouldn't mind spending some coin on that.
Thanks for your help and advice.

I just purchased a 150CC Chinese scooter!
Besides driving it off a cliff and entering free fall...
What engine upgrades would you perform to open this thing up?
Ive heard of destrict carb... not sure what that means.
Do they sell better aftermarket carbs for GY6 engine?
Im not interested in "major" work such as big bore kits etc. Just basic cheaper stuff I can pay guy at scooter store 200-400 dollars to get this thing faster.
Your help much appreciated.

Thanks so much Cookies and Cyborg,
Cyborg, thanks for opinion on Taiwanese scooters. So should I wait to buy a SYM or something Taiwaneese or walk over to Harley dealer with 13 crisp 100 bills?

Thanks Cyborg, that's the kind of info that takes years riding scooters to know.
On the BV250 I noticed a few counter weights on rear wheel. Is this normal maintenance or an issue?
