I agree. Funny thing is that during the video ride it was cutting out at just 30mph! After the video I put the trunk back on and went shopping and it was cutting out at 35 again. I also noticed if I hold the throttle just a tad less than WOT than I can get to 37mph. This has me leaning towards fuel issues not CDI.

Uploading gopro video now...6minute 4k video takes 2 hours to upload to YT  Ill try to get some stills of the fuel and vac lines when I run outta fuel. You cant get a good picture of them with the plastics on because the tank and seat bucket are in the way. |

Nope, same old cdi. On tgbs you snip the brown CDI wire to de restrict. I went through the sequence on your thread and fuel delivery checks out. Today was the first day I have driven my car in months because of this little bug.

Most gy6 and 2smokes rely on the vaccum from the intake manifold to open the fuel petcock during cranking because MOST (not all) scooter and moped fuel tanks are above the carb and people as well as manufacturers are lazy. the rare instance being ruckus and ruckalikes and a few piaggios that have the tank in the floor. They use the vaccum during cranking to operate a fuel "pump" that moves the fuel upwards to the carb from the tank in the floor.
Most scoots have their tanks under where the rear seat rider would be.
Mine is kinda in between...Unfortunately.
Edit: Still running automix with amsoil intimidator.

Its already 2.1gal gravity feed from the area under the seat where most would put their baggage or secure their helmet, and is a vacuum actuated petcock like any other sunny , handsome boy, etc. Ruckalikes not included (they have a vacuum operated fuel pump. Not just a diaphragm to open the fuel feed like the rest of the lot).
Finding the right threads (talkin' ISO and metric here) to connect the tank fittings for some sort of: tank thread> proper size barb for the carb have been elusive.

Ive ridden one of the motopeds in my motorbicycicling days and they are insane! I would just buy a used pit bike in hindsight if i were to go mad offroad. Most of the pit chassis available are xr50clones and are very modifiable. Long rear swingarm (recommended if you want to rip on a pit bike), lifan 125cc, etc.etc. and you can use honda hop ups on them for the most part. forget about the giant wheels (which are great!)
They are a conglomerate of minibike, pit bike, mountain bike parts all rolled all into one. the last scoot i built had a roxshox fork modded to fit the triple tree of a scoot and it cost very little.

I'll try to explain this problema. at 35mph EXACTLY, every time, My scoot DIES untill it slows down to 30mph, then takes off like a bat outta hockey sticks until 35mph again.
TGB delivery 50cc Bone stock. It normally hauls at 43-45mph de restricted. The problem just started yesterday.
Carb is spotless, float height is perfect. I'm thinking the petcock is malfunctioning. Maybe a collapsing vacuum line to the petcock issue (i've read about it in TGB forums)? it feels like the fuel bowl empties and i have to wait for it to refill before it can take off again. But i can only use whats been refilled before it acts up again. I can get a gopro tomorrow of the problem, it will mostly be just audio as I dont (yet) know where to point the camera.

I've had tons of fun just throwing knobbies on my old scoot (My avatar). You can find knobs that fit for honda xr50's and the like for about $25. Scoots are way rear weighted though so they are kinda hard to jump smoothly. but i have not had any issues with gunk in my clutch or variator. The only time i got worried was once, I jumped my TGB right into a mudhole and it sunk to the taillight. It ended up just fine. Don't think you can straight up mx though. The front ends are not the strongest suits on a scoot. They are plenty of fun though.
