Recently adjusted the valves on my 2019 taotao lancer 150 as per YouTube videos, set them at .005 now the bike seems to have lost 5 mph down to 50 from 55, coincidence ? What are the symptoms of valves being too tight, maybe ?

So if they are too tight, how would it affect performance ?

usually too tight will cause hard cold starting, unable to start when warm, stalling at stop signs.

Thanks, that eliminates that, it has lost to end speed and it surges some, at a loss as to why ?

Is that all you did adjust valves and lost mph? Anything else any other adjustments oil change plug or anything ? Do you have a proper air pressure in tires 33 36 min .. Adjust them again COLD if you did not the first time make sure your on TDC see what happens .. Even if it's 90 degree in the room make sure your motor is near the same temp of the room be for adjusting them

Changed carbuerator, main jets etc , engine just seems weak near the top end even surges, kinda unpredictable, this my 3rd 150, never had this issue, and I did take off the vacuum lines as I have seen done on YouTube and installed petcock.

New Japanese supposed carb with 120 ran about the same, went to 125 runs worse, filter is a pod type. Stock carb is a sealed one.
