I have a 50cc Taotao GT5 upgraded to 80cc. Been some issues, but they were relatively fixable, except now, after the latest run to the shop it won't run any longer. It'll start up fine while on the main pedestal, but once it's down, it sputters, backfires, and will only go about 20-30 yards. I did notice yesterday when I was tearing it down that the shop that replaced my lower and crankcase failed to replace my performance spark wire, and all the other performance electrical stuff that was installed when my BB kit was installed. Seeing this, it stands to reason that there may be an electrical issue, as there is no juice at all, after only one or two electric starts; I've resorted to kick-starting.
Any suggestions or helpful thoughts?

Any suggestions or helpful thoughts? Does either of your stands have killswitches in them? If you can kick start and it will stay running then it may not really be a electrical issue unless it's a loose wire but even then... When you installed the BBK did you change the main jet to an adequately sized jet for the new size engine? Did you check to make sure there is spark by putting the plug on the engine case and attempting to start it while looking for spark? |
