Yeah right now I can't even get it to ride, I have tried it with every setting in between on the carb fuel ratio screw. I started with the idle screw 2.5 turns out from all the way in also. It still seems to bounce at idle and stumble when I rev and die when I let go of the throttle ... What's next?

Alright I am getting a little frustrated, I adjusted the fuel ratio screw, the idle screw, cleaned the carb again, got a new fuel filter and fuel lines. It still seems to be bouncing a little at idle. If I pull back the throttle quickly it bogs, if I pull it back gradually it climbs but seems to stumble a bit, and when I let go of the throttle the Rpms drop all the way and it just dies.

I don't remember how many turns it would have been from the original setting behind the plug, if I had to guess it would have been about 7 full turns, I started out just doing 1/4 turns and waiting to see what happened so I forgot to pay attention to the total count

K I have it set to two full turns out counter clockwise like you said but I'm gonna have to wait till tomorrow to test it and mess with it. It's almost midnight and Im sure my neIghtbors are not happy with me for revving it at 10 pm let alone 1130. So it'll have to wait. Thanks again so much for all the help to this point. Ill let you know where I am at tomorrow with it

in your bouncing idle post i see an arrow pointing to the fuel ratio screw at the bottom of the fourth picture on the float bowl, but i am not seeing anything in the picture or on my carb. is there another plug that needs to be removed? im sure im goin gto feel dumb once you point it out.

Hey guys I've got a 50cc taotao that I just picked up. It's my first Chinese scoot. I got it as a project. It was not running when I got it, I charged the battery cleaned the carb put a new spark plug in it and I got it to fire. But it will only stay running for like 10 seconds and only if I have the starter cranking for a while and only if I have it cranked to full throttle. I cleaned the carb twice and drained the fuel tank and lines and it seemed to run better for a second or two then died out again. Any help would be awesome, thanks!
