I have a 2013 TaoTao ATM-A 150 EVO. about 3 weeks back I was riding on an expressway and noticed that even at maintained throttle, the scooter would bog down a bit. I stopped at a wal-mart for some things I needed. I came out and the scooter wouldn't start. After getting it back home and doing a whole lot of checking it was determined I had a bad stator. Fortunately. the person I bought it from left a new stator with some other parts. After replacing the stator and getting spark back I fire up the scooter. Everything seemed find so I put it all back together. Now when I drive it and it warms up it bogs down seriously. From about anything higher than 70 kmph it would really bog down. The person I bought the scooter from had also thrown in another scooter that I have been using for parts. I thought maybe a carb problem so I took the carb off the parts scooter and put it on the running one. Still bogs down. It only bogs down after it's warmed up. But I have noticed it seems less responsive than before I changed the stator.
So my question is can anyone direct me where to look at fixing this problem?

With milage it closes up. Once close to closed at Temp. valve train expands with the high rpm heat and slightly Hangs Open One or Both Valves. Cools down to ambient temp and starts back up and then repeat. Adjust your valves if you have Not. |

Thanks for the reply. I ordered a new carb on eBay and while waiting for it to come, I adjusted the valves (intake .004 Exhaust .005. I'm not sure how well I did because after I installed the new carb and test rode it, I could hear the valves distinctively. I will probably have to re-adjust them. Even with the new carb, it still wants to run like it's gas starved at higher RPM. I may have to break down and take it to a shop.
