Very happy with the results.
I got my 170 bbk installed and want to thank this forum for all the help and nowledge attained. I took it out to the highway today and ran it at 55mph Gps for about a half mile. It still had more power and Rpms but I don't want to take any chances and brake it in to hard. It was 32degrees out and a cold ride. Faster accelleration and less strain on the engine was apparent. I am running a drilled 133 main jet. Opened up factory air cleaner. Stainless suzuki straight thru muffler. And performance head. Valves. And cam that came witjh the kit. I used a rotary file in a high speed drill to mill a couple of spots in the crankcase so that the bottom of the 63mm OD cylinder would slide in easily. It was a fun project and am looking forward to warmer weather and some fine tuning.

This is my Tao 150 after installing the $30 Sukuki stainless steel car muffler. Looking forward to some good numbers after I install the 170cc BBK. I welded up a cone to make the 1 1/4 inch flex fit the 2 inch muffler intake. I used some black paint so you can not see the gorilla welds. Keep scootin friends. . 20 degrees here but I rode yesterday. The muffler has a removable silencer which I have not removed yet. Something to look forward to.

The first thing to do is check the coolant level. If it is too low there is not enough coolant to make the temp Gage shown anything. .

I got my Tao ATM 150A on the road and am working out the glitches. I gassed it up for the first time while on the side stand. It was very hard to start and after full throttle tries it finally fired up. It was flooded. While adjusting the idle screw I put a short level on the carb and discovered that it was way off being level. About 20 degrees. It was tilted in the same direction as the tilt when on the side stand and thus the flooding. I loosened the clamps that hold it and leveled it up. No more problems. They missed this at quality control. Mac.
