Hi guys,
A little background of my scooter adventures. Bought a 50cc tao, installed 83cc kit, varitor, cam, cdi, wiring, removed the epa garbage, exhaust, high flow filter. All went well but had backfires when letting off the gas. By the time I realized the gasket where the exhaust met the engine was missing, the backfires had blown the back of the new exhaust out. I put the stock exhaust with gasket and stock airbox back on. No matter how hard I tried, I could never get the exhaust gasket to completely work. I would always hear the engine start loud, as if there was no exhaust, then quiet down as presumably, the copper gasket expanded. Fast foward to buying new exhaust again, but this time, instead of the ring style gasket, I bought the nyc performance flat gasket. At the same time, I changed my bendi starter clutch and bought a new battery. It now has a hard time turning the engine over, although it still does. Pretty much, I have 2 quick shots, tops, for the engine to start. If not, the brand new battery won't have enough juice to kick it over. The kick start works, but unlike before, it doesn't just snap right back up. It kinda slowly rises back. It also has the rare tendency the bounce back halfway through a kick. Sooo my question, did having all gaskets tight now increase compression? Is my new battery bad? Did I screw something up installing the starter clutch? ? Thoughts?
Thank you!!
