Does anyone know if TaoTao puts the washer in the clutch plate on the 150 like is often done on the 50 CC scoots to limit them to 30 MPH. Via gps my scoot seldom exceeds 49 mph. I have already replaced the CDI and spark plug and coil. I only run ethyl gas. I don't expect a bunch more, but 55 MPH would be nice.
I am a big guy, at 300 lbs so I don't expect to set land speed records with a 150CC scoot. But just hoped for a little better.
You think playing with the variator weights would do any good? Could the muffle be restricted?
Just playing 20 questions... LOL

to my knowledge you shouldn't find anything like that on a 150cc. is it new? i just bought a new 150cc Jonway and it was running lean. for awhile i could only reach 35mph on the speedo. drilled out the cap over the fuel/air adjustment screw, went from a 108 main jet to a 112 and replaced the needle with one i could adjust moving the clip down 3 notches.
works gr8 now, had it up to 60 on the speedometer (probably 50mph actual) with more to give.
easy way to tell if your scoot will benefit from doing the above, pull the spark plug to see if it is running lean or rich. if the plug looks good then you may need to play with the variator weights. mine came with 10.5 gram weights and seems to work good for me. i'm about 220lbs.

It's a new scoot, I bought it end of February, it was built in December 2013.

They are set very lean , the power is lost in the carb . Your a big boy if everything else is good with the engine , lighter rollor weights will help . Your welcome to call I can answer most of your questions and offer some tips .
