I installed the chrome air scoop , and changed my 42 pilot jet to a 45. it seems to like the change, I am at the middle clip on the needle and 600 feet above sea level. I am waiting for some parts to come in the mail for some cvt changes and I am thinking about painting the luggage rack on the back black. I am thinking this winter I will paint the whole thing black and have a friend of mine air brush some realistic looking flames on it.

where is a good source for chrome 13 inch wheels for my tao tao 150 scooter?

I wonder how long a motor will last without the two small piston rings that go directly above and below the oil wavy oil ring? It looks like im about to find out because i forgot to install mine lol. I have no desire to tear it apart again right away so Hopefully it will finish out the season. Maybey I will go even bigger on the next big bore kit? The scooter is running great and Im very happywith the added torque. The only problem is I want more torque. I ordered some 12 gram sliders and I have a set of 13/43 gears to install also.

That isn't much different than the gears I bought. I also have a little girl starting kindergarten.

I chose the A11 cam because I am also going to install lower gears for better acceleration and will be running the scooter in the upper rpm range often .

It has been a while since my last post and not a lot has changed on the scooter that I can really think of. I put some new shocks on it but they were a little long and very stiff. So they came off and I put the original ones back on. I have been having a hard time getting the carb adjusted . I cant seem to get it to completely quit backfiring during deceleration. When I ride around with my daughter at a reg pace then it never does it but when I ride alone and I am full throttle often it seems to do it quite a bit. They scooter has been great so far . I have done quite a few mods to it and ride the crap out of it and it seems to hold up just fine. Now with all that being said i can say that I damaged the motor but It is due to all my mods and the way I drive not the dependability of the scooter. ( it actually still runs great.)
A month or so ago I got rid of all the extra vacuum lines and canisters. I had a filter on the end of my valve cover breather and never had any trace of oil coming from it. Anyway there are these cheap $40 nitrous kits on ebay with the co2 looking cartridges that supposedly have nitrous in them. I ordered it . I knew it was dumb, It sat for a few weeks and i finally put it on. I took it down the block. used it on short bursts like the instructions said. I went one bock turned around and came back to the shop and took it off. It was laim to say the least. I drove it home about two miles and i had oil all over my floor board . It was coming from the valve cover breather but still ran fine. I rigged up a catch can but I had too much oil in the can the last week or two. So I knew something was wrong. (still ran fine though.) basicly little to no power loss. I bought a big bore kit from ebay and I am in the process of installing it now. I will post some pics of the rebuild and the damage. I had a broken piston. I am not saying the fake nitrous caused it but the problem started immediately after i used it.
