I do not use a speedodometer I just use my ears and intuition to gauge my calibration. |

I have done alot on this beauty over the winter I repainted a new color theme and re-built the engine and got rid of the old style seat and trunk set-up, it is now a luggage rack seat from a motorcycle with a custom made seatpad oak bottom. and fabbed a re-end cowl from the stock front fender. This is completely modded out 50mm bb, a9 cam, 24mm carb, stock cdi, airplane grade lithium battery, the Heavy duty starter, new bendix, new tires front and rear, the 44mm performance stroker crank, performance exhaust and header, hologen headlights, and LED tail. With an 8 in stretch on the engine mount.

Hello I Have a 2011 Tao Tao w/a 100cc/50mm BBK new HP coil replaced cracked intake manifold still has stock carb and jet is stock as well. Its not completely broken in yet as for the rings. I took it for a test run yesterday and idle was good throttle was responsinve. all good for a short time of a longer 5 mile run didnt go so well and i think it's the CDI. Here are the symptoms: On the way back from the 5 mile run was about half throttle and started losing power slowly slower slower yet... a consistant slowing down not a sudden pop or sputter or anything like that. but then it eventually died. so I popped my trunk off and overlooked everything everything looked good to me. let it sit for a few 5 mins then it started right up and i made it back home That was the stock CDI unit. later i went for another 5 mile run and it did the same thing so i switched to the performance CDI and got it started but it didnt start easy and it bearly started but its ran good all the way back with no problems. CDI STATS: Stock CDI 43 mph via GPS starts easy idle's lower then the performance CDI, long rides it overheats or burns out. Performance CDI top speed 45.28 mph via GPS starts extremely hard unless a squirt of starter fluid is used idles higher then the stock . Im considering buying another CDI unit Ive always had problems with CDI units it seems they are super weird. My question is what would you do or check because maybe its something elese im missing? I think the performance one advances too much at start and is why it starts so hard. maybe i need a new fresh battery but my battery is still ok but goes pretty dead if you have to keep crankin it. the stock one is definatly shot or gettin there fast. I need something durable and easy start at min. Also what causes them to go out? is there something im missing? thanks for reading my thread and your input is apreciated .  |
