Posted a few week's ago about the Carb on my wife's taotao leaking fuel. Replaced the Carb with a new one and that problem stopped. Now it will start and run ok for awhile then idles way down and dies out. Changed both jets from the old Carb to the new one and it didn't help. Ended up switching them back. Can't tell you what size are in the new Carb but the old Carb had a 33 and an 81. Any suggestions?

How long is it runs for a while? Is this after riding it around say 20+ minutes?
After it dies will it start right up again or do you have to wait for a while and then it will start?
Trying to determine if it is the valves that get tight after the motor gets hot OR it is the Carb that needs adjustment.

It revs pretty high for about a minute when you start it. Idles down to a decent idle and about 20 seconds later it sputters out. Whatever plug it came with is what's in there. Scoot probably only has about 20 miles on it. I wouldn't think the valves or plug would need work this quick... but then again, didn't plan to put a new Carb on this soon either.

Ok, turn the Fuel Ratio screw Clockwise until it stops and count the number of turns it took to stop. Then turn it out 2 1/2 turns and see if stays idleing.
