Thanx Cyborg n Diver..checked enrichner..no fuel coming from there..gonna check/change pilot jet tm..hopun this will take hesitation out of start..got great acceleration all the way thru throttle now..wwhhooppee!!..if I can get bottom end responce fixed I'm done messin w/it..lol..keep the rubber down

Hey scooter ppl..Alley,Bashan,etc..I have a Tao Tao 150,I have installed a 26mm carb(rejetted w/110 main),added cold air intake(took stock airbox off),removed enrichener,n have a heck of a time tryin to find right A/F mixture. I have started 2 1/2 out n adjusted per 4t carb tuning posted here. It only runs great when A/F screw is bout 3/4 turn ccw from closed. I understand that these need to run a lil rich but when I try this it runs crappy..my question is since I have increased air inflow, would I still need to adjust A/F screw as directed?.. I should add that I have a "unrestricted" cdi n coil installed too.my top end is great(50+)..n she accelerates well..except from stop..lil hesitation then she runs right out. Any suggestions? All replays will b appreciated.. Also can y'all reccommend a good quality cdi/coil setup? Provide link if possible...I got mine off interweb from scorpion products.thanx n keep the rubber down

Ok scooterppl..I just put in a 26mm carb n a stainless cold air intake/air filter..turned air fuel screw 2 1/2 turns..adjusted to set idle..now I have good mid n high acceleration.. But it bogs n recovers after its warmed up..only happens from slow down/stop..when I give it a lil throttle it bogs fer a sec or two then picks up..more throttle better performance.. Any thoughts on this? PS installed new plug n ran fer a few (20 mins)..pulled plug..some soot..suspect a lil rich but understand this is better than lean..mayb adjust carb needle? All replys will b appreciated.. Keep the rubber down

Ok folks changed oil..no motor honey this time..no smoke or noticeable decrease in compression or power..think the scooter gods have blessed me..ordered new 26 mm carb n intake manifold..figger this one comes w/correct size main jet..lol..also took breather box out/off n installed stainless air intake tube w/generic air filter..runnin ok but bogs down at lil past half throttle.. Hoping new carb will rectify..it still will do 50 very comfortably.. Very pleased w/Tao Tao brand so far..now to the headlights..will keep posting progress..keep the wind in yer face n the rubber down

Thanx fer the feedback(sarcastic as it was) on the carb screws..gonna order 26mm carb n intake manifold n b done w/it..Thanx Cyborg..I value yer opinion on these matters..keep the rubber down y'all

Got 1300+ on it now..oil change due at 1600..will not use motor honey this time..fingers crossed..will update in a couple daze..keep the rubber down y'all

Well folks thanx fer the feedback..I put ring sealer in with the new oil(by the way this is third oil change..first was b4 I even rode it..second at 500 mi n this one at 1100)..so far no more smoke...it also runs just like it did..same rpm level..same giddy up..I really can't tell a difference..will look fer oil in breather tube tho! Will check oil level too. Also a lil more info..I had to come to an abrupt stop from bout 40 mph right b4 I noticed smoke from tail pipe..think mayb the sudden stop forced oil up into manifold n out pipe? ( just hoping/guessin)...will keep postin progress..gonna order new head kit anyway..its under warranty so won't cost much..just some elbow grease n a few scrapes..keep the rubber down n the wind in yer face
