Dies No Throttle=Spark
I just installed a Red Coil, the Boot doesn't fit as tight as I would like, The Cooling Fan Blows Loose the Plug Boot and she dies as you Described. I would search in the ignition system.

I have a 2014 Taotao 150 and would like to remove the evap emissions crap, got the pair system figured out, would like help removing evap. Also wondering if the 26 mm carb that scrappy sells would be a benefit  On That Carb swap, Do you have any Mods such as intake and Free Flow Exh? I had a 26mm laying around and just did a Write up on another Scooter Board, 24mm to 26m Carb Upgrade. Lots of Pics. If you have both Intake and Free Flow Exhaust I would recommend it for the what $54 and change. One of the Most important things to think of on going bigger carb. is keeping the Velocity Up. A big hole dumping into a straw will do no good. With the Exh dumping a bunch more air in without a exh, to get rid of it. Its all about the Combination In addition I already knew I had to do some Vari. tuning as my RPM's were too high. Then I discovered a fairly significant problem with Header Pipe. With Exh,Fix and 26mm carb pickup up some rpm's. Tore into the Vari. found my belt climb was not for snit, went from 11 gram rollers to 13 gram rollers. This Total pckg of a exh. fix, tune Vari, 26mm carb I went from a Chinese 52mph to a Chinese 65 mph' So maybe real world of 45mph to 55mph, She's a runner |

The only way (not worth the time) to check if Studs were over torqued is measure the Length to the .001
We would check SBC Rod bolts wight a gauge, If Over-Revved the Rod bolts Stretched and will be longer.
You may have drawn up ( upset) the metal around the Stud, give it a good close visual maybe try to come up with a edge to check flatness, check with studs Out. If so unless you could re-surface the cases (not worth the time) have to buy new cases.
Good Luck.

Ya know, thinking here I believe you said you had it apart bout four times with this problem alone? Wonder if you haven't Drawn up the Metal (top of the cases) around those Studs? It wouldn't take much. Ive seen this happen more than once. Pay very close attention to that area (Around the Studs). I'm fortunate to have some machinist straight edges of various lengths to check deck flatness. It's possible I overtorqued it, I do not have a torque wrench. I would tighten the nuts on the cam holder thing to hand tight then take my socket wrench and turn them another half circle and stop there. Do you think that would be too much? Well glad your honest, much easier to help you. I was told once if you have a calibrated elbow you don't need a torque wrench, all others get one. As much as you wrench on these get one. Very easy to over torque this gem especially with just four Studs and Junk to boot. Pick up a cheap Beam type at Harbor Freight or Pawn shops have tons. Be careful of the Clicker ratchet type as some need to be calibrated very so often, and stored un-loaded. We have in the South (Carolina's) every weekend red neck flea market's with Tons of New and used tools. |

You Must Replace The Cylinder Studs. You can Only Stretch that Junk a Couple Times (maybe). Pret Much Once. There is a Reason They Sell Replacements. I'm ordering new studs soon, do you know if I can remove the old ones with a vice grip? Is there any danger of damaging the case threads? Should I use red loctite on install?

Better to Double Nut the Studs to back them out. Unless you have a stud removal/installation tool, there not that much. May want to use Removable Loc-Tite. Be Very Careful Not to Over-torque the Studs, you will Draw the Metal Up and Never get it to seal good luck |

How bout Wrap the Head pipe with DEI Header Wrap.
Keep's the Cooling Fan from sucking in that Hot air.
Leave the Intake alone since the Header is Wrapped.
