I guess the real problem is I don't know what Im looking for.Do I have to take the wire harness off and inspect every wire? Why would this just have suddenly happened?

I charged up my battery for my taotao and connected it in the normal way, both reds to the positive, and the black to negative. I bumbled around for a couple of minutes, and was startled to see smoked rolling up from my red wires on the positive post. I took them off as fast as I could, but they are scorched, especially the one with the fuse. When I oped the fuse box, both metal ends were detached from the glass tube.

Why would this have happened? I appreciate the input. I need to fix this but I dont want it breaking over and over again.

Hi. I just replaced a carburetor on my gy6. The stock one was impossible to open so I used a high performance carb that I had laying around, which I bought to go with an 80cc big bore kit for another scooter.

Anyways, this scooter in question does not have a big bore kit, just a fancier carb. It runs good, but it is using fuel like crazy. I went 10 miles and it went from nearly full to nearly empty. Ive checked for leaks, and there are none. When I took the carb off to check my fuel lines, i found that all kinds of unburned fuel was in the big hose coming off the back of the carburetor. Is there anything I can do about this, other than buying yet another carburetor?
Thanks for checking out my post.

So Advanced Auto carries it. The guy just told me not to soak my carbeurator in carb cleaner because it will swell the rubber rings. I have never heard that before (to not soak it). I also went to Seafoams website and there is a testimonial where some guy says he soaked his carb IN SEAFOAM. Ive cleaned and rebuilt carbs before, but now I don't know what to think. How should I use the seafoam (just add it to the gas?)and should I not soak the carb? I can't see all those little ports getting clean without soaking it for at least a few hours.

Hello all. Last winter I drove my scooter to work early in the morning, it was cold as hell out. After 9 or 10 hours it was even colder weather, and the scooter would not start for anything.
Since then I took an unfortunate vacation, courtesy of the state, and I still can't get it to start.
I checked the spark plug and it was fouled, so I cleaned it. When I tested it I got a pretty good jolt ripping through my hand, but it still didn't start.
I checked my valves and the cold had closed them up tight. I set the top to .003 and the bottom to .004 (I made sure it was all lined up).It still won't start and I'm worried that I will kill the battery if I keep trying.
I can see fuel in the filter.
I thought perhaps it might be a fuel delivery problem, but I'm not really sure
Any suggestions?
I know I am forgetting something I once knew to do, so reminders are needed....
(I'm on house arrest so if I get permission to go to the store, I can only do it once. Please list anything possible you think I may need to pick up).

Thanks.

Hi Alleyoop. It still wont start and there is gas in the fuel filter. So I I don't know whats next. I have the top valve set at .03 and the bottom at .04

Here is the video. I just cant see that I am doing anything wrong...
