Just had about the same problem...brand new TaoTao 50cc......Starting running crappy....got worse and worse....eventually it would not start.....adjusted valves....runs like a champ now..better than when it was new...2 weeks ago Thanks for your input, however, mine happened in a matter of minutes. I have an update also. I have the no rev CDI, Coil, And now.....Drum roll please.............72cc BBK on the way. So, if it is the top end, it's covered, and then some. LOL

Update. This idiot read the multimeter wrong. It wasn't 68-70 ACV, it was 6.8-7 ACV. Got to get a stator.

New update. All the parts are on order. Engine is out. Ok, Glad I ordered a top end. Looks like a cracked piston was at large. LOL, so multiple failure. Should be scooting by Friday.

WOW! I've never seen a piston crack like that before. I'm not sure who to get angry at on that one... Oh well, you'll fix it!

It is odd that it happened, expecially only 580ish miles. Oh well, what better excuse do you need to upgrade. BTW, Not sure if I did that to it, but, And it would have been a youtube viral video had we recorded it. But, I was doing a Left side circle wheelie with it, and the throttle got pinned WOT, and it was going at about 20MPH circles around me, Kind of like a playground merry go round, and I was holding it in the air. It was the funniest thing, but it did take quite a slam when I...........simply let go. Also, this scooter is only 3 months old.

BBK came in at 12 today. 3 hours later, the scooter was all back together. Started as soon as fuel filled the carb. stator must have been fine. Cracked piston was the issue.

Now you've got even more power so make sure that throttle doesn't wanna stick again. lol Funny you say that. I was riding the biggest wheelie ever, Um, About 90 degrees if you can imagine. Bailed, skid, bike kept rolling towards car. Praying "please fall, please fall" The rear fender has scrape marks on the BACK of it, that's how high I was.

Wow. You need a roll cage. Not the scooter... you. :laugh: :tongue:
Seriously though, if it's the throttle sticking, check everything over from throttle to carb. Make sure nothing is pinched, no frayed cable, everything works freely, etc...
