At this point I really need help getting this bike fixed. So I am offering the first person to help me figure out what is wrong with my bike $50 via Paypal.
I am true to my word and kind of foolish with my money
I will most definitely pay you the money if you do figure out my problem though.
So this is what I got. A 50cc Taotao about 1 year old with somewhere around 6k miles. My problem first started about 3 months ago, I was driving home and my belt broke off. After that when I got a new belt I noticed that I was having over heating issues, so I went into my CVT and had replaced the Clutch, clutch springs, torque springs, Variator and roller weights all with performance quality gear.
After that I was still having over heating issues, so I changed my gear oil and after that I noticed that the heat was not coming from that area, I have fully synthetic oil already. When I had my second belt my bike was still going pretty decent but around 35 mph instead of 40-45 mph, over heating would still continue and after a while it seemed like the belt was slipping or something, I then found that it was my clutch pulley and it needed to be lubricated so when I did that my bike seemed fine and was getting about 40-45 again almost about 50 mph, overheating would still continue and after about 2 short rides the lubricant was burned off and needed more.
Then my kevlar belt broke, and when that happened my bike went to , when I got a new bando belt made of aramid cord, I hopped on and my top speed was about 10 mph and after a 2 min drive down the street and back my bike was already over heated in my CVT.
I then went to explore further so I opened up my piston and saw there was scorch marks along side the piston so I figured that I needed a new piston.
Also before I checked the piston I thought that maybe there was something clogged in the muffler so I took it off and tried running it and when I did I blew something I think and now it sounds like a lawnmower.
So I bought a new 47mm big bore kit, put it all together and lubricated the piston and cylinder like I saw on youtube and set the gear and that thing that has the fan on it thats connected to the engine to the right spot so the were set or something. I now have it running again but still sounds like a lawnmower and wont go above 10 mph and I say 10mph while its on the centerstand you can tell that the wheel isnt turning fast at all on WOT.
I have spent over $300 in trying to fix this and still haven't gotten anywhere, so I really need help because this is my only transportation to work and back at this moment and I am waiting to get my license.
Thanks for any help,
Connor
