Forgot to mention... the fuel in filter is where you see blue line. About 1/4 - 1/6 the total fuel filter. And I have to wait for scooter to "cool" down until next day or few days for it to start back up again. Or else I just get the starter trying but no turn over. The gas filter rises slightly then goes down.    |

Just got this scoot, Taotao Roman 150cc GY6. Starts up cold like a champ. No issues, runs fine. Runs for 5-10 mins and then peters out and dies. Attempt to restart is futile. I have replaced and checked the following… 1. Carburetor: Replaced with new carb, same issue. 2. Valves: Adjusted valve clearances to .004 intake, .005exhaust. 3. Check spark plug. Looks good, No heavy deposits or not too white. *Noticed semi-clear gas filter is only ¼ full. Not sure if only ¼ full gas filter has anything to do with this or not. I “feel” that this is a warm up issues, after warmup / heat issue causing this. Please advise oh great Chinese scooter masters.      |

What are best tires to replace on my TaoTao scooter? I am looking with fattest or widest tread to be in contact with ground. I dont care about gas milage. I figure more tread on ground... = Safer the scooter.  For pics of my blue beauty go to my dropbox folder. www.dropbox.com/sh/rpgs7ya134ds2hk/AABtCkGtcr6c7uKbCSnDAxNra?dl=0 |

Thanks for all the help guys. I ended up driving to Dallas Texas and purchasing a taotao 150cc from local DFW Powersports for 1K even. That included TTL and Taxes etc. Think still a little high but got what I wanted.

This seems to be the lowest I can find the Chinese TaoTao scooter. $789.00 delivered Besides taking a flame thrower to this thing  , what other upgrades would you immediately do?  Thanks for your help. Steve Picture of 150cc Roman Scooter TaoTao  www.saferwholesale.com/150cc-Roman-Scooter-Moped-Italian-Style-p/tao-roman150.html* Update, never mind. The company Saferwholesale called me back after placing order and tried to pull a fast one. They wanted CC processing fee of $200 bucks. Not going to happen. Look else ware for a scooter store. |
