Just got a new Tao tao 150 and I cant get the float bowl off,,looks like they sheared the screws off after they put bowl on,,anybody ever see this,,guess I need to get a new carb if I want to mess with jets or clean it,,other than that I can take a chance drilling them out,,could be a disaster.

Yep they always send the new ones like that you can take a die grinder and slot them and get them out the carbs are so cheap I just buy a new one its alot easyer

you can take a dremel and cutter wheel and slot the flat screws and remove them with a screwdriver and replace with real screws, and take a drill bit to the plate over the a/f screw. easier to just buy a new carb though, but if your broke and got the tools go for it.

[replyingto=millsc]millsc[/replyingto]Ok sweet,,too hot out there to play around today,,from what I remember seeing,,the studs on the stock bowl where cut off so flush it would be hard to cut a slot in them...guess it will be a parts carb sooner than I think.

Well I drilled out the air/fuel mix cover and adjusted the mixture a little,,now it seems to run better,,before it wouldn't start when it was warm unless I gave it a little throttle,,not it starts right up cold ,warm,or hot just pressing the button.Also removed evap,relocated the tank vent with a fuel filter up high,starting to come along,,next week Ill install CDI,and order a new Gates power belt,,should have it as reliable as a Honda in no time...lol..yeah right  |
