So I guess what I'll have to think about doing is to convert this absurd "electric melt wax" enricher to a cable operated manual one. Here is what the internals of the enricher looks like:  The circuit is normally "ON" {!!!!  !!!!!}, meaning when you first turn the ignition on the enricher is set to aloow extra fuel and air into the carb. Then, over the next few minutes, the electric part warms a special wax that melts and allows the plunger to descend and block the fuel and air passages, turning the enricher "off". Only in Asia would such a kludge be designed! Here is a commercial "convert to manual cable" deal that does, supposedly, just that:  This way you can have the choke handle come through a hole where you want (for me, above the gas cap between the legs, in front of the engine compartment) and control the enricher as needed. The alternative is to somehow just plug the whole thing up with JB Weld and attach the choke cable to the throttle (my carb has an extra slot for this next to where the throttle cable attaches) and run a normal "choke" that simply opens up the throttle a bit. Looks like a good idea, converting it to manual.I think I might do that too eventually, it would be nice to be able to press a button and get extra gas when you need it. I like the idea of manual choke also. I seen kits for them online, and they appear to be a simple install. My thought is the less electronic parts the better. Simplicity is beautiful. |

If you want to get the most out of your scoot and not spend to much buy a 28mm carb and use the 110 main and a 38 pilot . tune the CVT with lighter then stock weights so that your rpms can reach 7500 on a straight run . u don't want to be able to redline on a straight run. I read u "derestricted you air filter ". Not sure what u did but u want to run a uni like the pic below. Also if u have the extra cash u should by a high performance exhaust. Without the exhaust your looking at around 80 bucks possibly less. With the exhaust around $180 . with these mods you should be able to hit a gps verified 60 - 65 mph .  First off, thank you for the reply. I plan on sticking with a standard size carb. Not sure of the exact size, but it's was listed as standard for a 150cc on Scappy Dogs. It has K14D27 printed near the air intake. As for derestricting the air box, I was referring to slightly rotating the the intake for better flow and removing all the junk gasses that get tossed back into it. I would rather have the gas, crankcase, and valve cover vent to the atmosphere then back into the carb. That way It won't mess with my fuel:air ratio and "gum up" the engine. I noticed from past topics that increasing air requires increasing fuel input. CVT is next. I have lighter weights, springs, and spare parts ordered. I just want to make sure the engine is purring before I tune that next. Right now with the stock setup RPMs top-out around 6000-6500 on a straight and flat road. My goal is to have a finely tuned scoot that will loosen teeth fillings, but not look modified. I want less attention as possible, which is why I'm reluctant to switch to a pod filter.

Howdy everyone.
I'm new to the site, and need a piece of advice. I have a 2014 TaoTao Powermax 150cc and am starting to mod my ride. So far all I have done is break it in, remove all emission control devices ,and derestrict the airbox.
My first major tuning project is the carburetor but I am unsure of the stock main jet size. I'm going to swap the stock restricted carburetor for a standard unrestricted from Scrappy Dogs. With the airbox mod I know I need to increase my fuel ratio.
I don't want to tear into the stock carburetor in case I have to resort back to it as a spare or fall-back.
Any ideas?
Joey in South Texas.

We've done it, it's the official 49cc scooter ScrappyDog license plate. Same size as a standard motorcycle license plate and has that same official look from a distance. Don't be caught out there with a big void where your plate should or might be and put on a ScrappyDog plate. Free with any purchase over 100 dollars as a promotion. We're getting these printed up next week and I'm sure they will go fast. Simply make your order online or call, put in the notes section "free license plate" or mention it during your phone order, and it will be included. www.scrappydogscooters.com or 702-689-6035 www.facebook.com/Scrappydogscootersi.imgur.com/42RHsVU.jpgThat's good to hear. I'm new to the world of scooter, and plan on making a few modifications. Next you should do license plate covers for the ones that need to be registered. I just got a 150cc (TaoTao Powermax) which forced me to get a cover. i.imgur.com/Qoz30jFl.jpg |
