Hey bud. Ran into the very same issue. I adjusted my valves....same outcome even.
Buuuuut....found the issue!!!
Turned out to be a bad intake o ring gasket on the bottom side of intake where it bolts to the cylinder.
Runs better than ever.
Hope it helps!!!

I have a 2012 TaoTao CY50-T3 scooter. I've had it since last summer and never really had any issues with it other than running poorly in michigan cold (expected). A week or two ago I got it out to drive it to class and it started stalling after I'd get a couple hundred yards down the road. After stalling it wouldn't start again unless I let it sit for a minute. Very frustrating. Then every once in a while it'll start up and run great with no problems. Problem has gotten progressively worse, so my dad and I replaced the following trying to narrow down the problem: Carburetor Fuel Filter Spark Plug (NGK) Battery Checked the air filter, it was fine. Added sea foam to the gas After all this and the present symptoms, we were sure it had to be the vacuum petcock so I ordered a new one and installed it today. No dice. It'll start right away and run for about 30 seconds and then slowly bog down and die. Doesn't matter if I just let it idle or rev the engine (revs fine). Just seems like it has gas at first and then slowly runs out. I could be wrong. I'm getting extremely frustrated here as this is my main form of transportation at college. I also don't have any tools at the moment other than the crappy little tool kit that came with it. PLEASE any help is appreciated. Thank you |
