Guys if you remember I was looking at a ATM-50 and a taotao thunder but the ATM had been given away to the guys brother and the thunder was sold. I talked to a school peer and she sold me a scooter for 175 doll hairs O.O and its a 2014 taotao VIP 50cc with a clean title. She was the only owner the bike is cleaner then a gootyhole. I only have one pic she sent me but I saw her driven if last year until she got a car. One problem though.... She left it in the garage for awhile and when she went to turn it on and didn't... I'm thinking it could be the carb, fuel and or CDI system maybe the spark plug. Let me know what you think. :thumbup::thumbup:  |

You said she left it in the garage for a while. How long is that? If you mean weeks to months then it may need fresh fuel and a carb cleaning.

She said about a month because she didn't have time to start it due to collage and trips.

Yeah, drain it. Check the condition of the lines and filter. Clean the carb.

I have the same scooter and for $175, that's pretty awesome. I got mine for $100 but wasn't in anywhere near that condition. Here's mine now..   I bought it to mod and play around with and fell in love with it once I was done.. |

Not at all. It was originally just like yours. Grey and black. I figured since I was modding it, I might as well make it my own. A friend of mine made the decals for me..
