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?

Thanks to all of you - I will most definitely give it a go.

I need a bit of advice, and please consider it as "Scooter Works for Dummies". I have a 2014 Taotao GT5 50, and wanted to remove the air box air filter, and replace it with a cone filter. I did so, and after a quick ride around the apartment complex, pulled it off and put the air box back on. The reason being, my scoot bogged out as I would accelerate. I obviously thought that with air filters, it was basically "plug n' play", and even more obviously, it isn't. So, can someone explain as to where I went wrong, and what can I do to fix this as an issue? Are there additional parts or steps I need to take to be able to use a cone filter instead of the box? Many thanks in advance.
