I have a 150cc TaoTao Quantum Tour-2016 model. I need to replace the carb.
here are my questions
1) what am I looking for in a carb? They can't all be the same- I don't wanna spend more than needed.
2) can I go with a bigger carb? What are the implications of doing so?
I currently have a stock 24 mm carb- maybe get a 26mm if I don't have to change a bunch of stuff
Thank you all in advance- gotta get her up and running ASAP, but I need to make an informed decision

Almost all the CV 24mm direct OE replacement are the same. should be plug-n-play.....
I would Not recommend a Larger Carb (26mm). Without a Free Flow Exhaust.
The Exhaust Head Pipe is Smaller Diameter than the Exhaust Port Is, If you want more Air and Fuel in One end you Need to do the Same with the Exhaust. Keep you intake Velocity Up with the Smaller Carb.
I do have a 26mm on mine, Uni Filter and Free Flow Exhaust. and She runs Very well for a Stock Internal GY-6 150cc
And Beware!!!! There are Fake 26mm Carbs out there, I have one and am vey embarrassed that it took me so long to discover, the Vendor is a Sponsor so Il keep it to myself.
I have a Link I can provide showing the Fake 26mm Next to a Real 26mm CV carb, I can also provide a link with lots of pictures of the Head pipe.
Oh and if ya pony up for the NIBBI 26 it is based on a Mikuni and requires Different Pilot Jets than what you may already have,The Pilots can be purchased from Jets-r-Us..

well, i took the seal off the air/fuel screw, and fiddled with it. The jet kept falling or popping out- leaving me bumming. it's all my own fault, I know.
So, anyway, I got a Universal Carb made in Japan from a local shop- paid too much, but I'm back in the saddle
