When the engine dies, is there spark? Does it respond to a shot of starting fluid? Consider posting a few Imgur images of the engine compartment at different angles and linking them here.

Tortoise is a big fan of stock scoots and not at all a fan of performance mods. Guilty as charged! As evidenced by the NUMEROUS big-bore-kit FUBAR installations chronicled on this forum . . just a general observation that the more a GY6 50/125/150/168cc engine is "tinkered with", the less reliable it becomes!

Would seem like an excellent opportunity for some of the China scoot distributors to gain some GY6 150 "street cred" . . Sym/Lance, Znen, BMS, Wolf, Bintelli, TaoTao, IceBear, Dongfang, Boom? A Genuine Buddy 125 (PGO Taiwan) has completed previous Cannonballs. A non-Cannonball Znen 150 has completed a coast-to-coast.

330lbs . . 55-60 would be good For best reliability . . replace scooter with at least a 125cc model and keep it stock! GY6 50cc has bottom mounts . . 125/150cc top mounts (except Sym) . . so engine swaps are NOT easy.

SRKcycles bought a green Taotao from Amazon. He whines about how much of a piece of XXXX it is.

for those that want a 150cc in a 50cc frame Also factor in the "ethically challenged" stress of always having to look over your shoulder for law enforcement, and potentially experiencing the downside of "gaming the system" fraudulent registration . . perhaps while a clueless family member or friend is riding the illegal scooter!

thinking about just going with TaoTao scooters based on the price and of course mine will have the Big Bore Kit and all the upgrades to go faster Or . . for better reliability and less aggravation, select a 150cc and leave it stock! The 50cc and 150cc Icebear Vision are about the same price . . review.

went to change the oil . . 15w40 . . feels like the engine no longer revs as high as before Unclear how much oil was added? ½ quart shows around half way up the dipstick cross-hatched end markings, not screwed in, on my 139QMB.
