When shopping for parts online I have been having alot of problems finding correct parts on ebay,amazon and wish.com,and a few other sites,parts that would plug right up without any modifications to the original wiring harness and whatnots for the scoot.for example the igniton shows a small 4pin plug to hook into the wiring harness.the cdi has 1 plug instead of 2.stator is 6 coil instead of 8.well I been hunting for a new complete wiring harness kit,And been seeing alot that claim to be the correct gy6 50cc type but in the description it says for atv or go kart pitbike yet not verified for the scoot, but some are,yet they look nearly the same as the cheap atv go kart kits and are around 40 to 50 buck and some only 10 to 30 buck but they all look simular but not matching actually.cdi has 1 plug not 2,the stator has 6 coils not 8,and the ignition wire shows a 4pin plug that doesn't look like the new one i got with like 5 or so that plugged right up to the stock harness plug..so I'm wondering if I got the cheap harness loom kit is it gonna work or would I need to get a more expensive one.some say Kickstart only with a different stator and the ones I see with the 8 coil stator says 125cc or 150cc..yet when watching the video that Big Scoot posted on YouTube showing his taotao,he grinded the pickup to make it adjustable,and it clearly showed a 8 coil stator so I assumed mine would also be the 8coil.but havnt opened up mine and looked.Would the 6 coil stator work?Does it have to be the 8 coil stator to work?Also would the 1 plug cdi work?Because it's atleast 20 to 30 bucks more in price for the kit with the 8 coil stator and 2 plug cdi.Do you have a official site i can visit that has the correct parts without all the confusion? Thanks

Welcome to the forum!
I don't think there is an official parts site that's great. Partskit.com is what's listed on TaoTao's site. I go to places like PartsForScooters.Com that offer a lot of parts with good pictures and descriptions and match them up to what I have. That's how I do it for any Chinese scooter. There are too many variations in all sorts of parts.
Yes, it does need to be the same stator that you had. You can do conversions, but the easy way is to match it up. Not just coil amount, but connector types and any details that you can. There's a much higher likelihood of success if you take the time to do this before ordering anything.

I’ve had excellent results using VMC for parts. Their pictures are clear and prices seem reasonable. www.vmcchineseparts.com/ |

Thanks fellas..makes alot more sense to go ahead and tear it apart and make sure like u said because there are way to may different variations on these Chinese scooters..I figured you could do the conversion tho but just not wanting to go thru all that mess just wanting to buy the new parts and slap em on and get the scoot back on the road..also I've read alot online bout these scoots the past few weeks and seems that adding the big bore kit seems to be the best thing to do on these scoots to get it over 40mph consistently..yet there are so many different MM size options..from what I've read on Amazon reviews the 47mm bore kit is the best all around kit for these making it 80cc..I guess the 100cc kits have a piston weight problem and doesn't really get as near the peak performance as the 80cc kit and needs alot more modifications to just get it back up to stock performance..and that anything over 47mm isn't worth messing with.any chance anybody has heard anything about these 47mm 80cc kits being the best,when it comes to plug n play kits without making a bunch of mods or if it's just bogus claims..seems the scoot would be faster to go on with the 100cc kit or more.for about the same cost so curious to see what u all think.thx

I prefer the 47mm kits. Some like the larger stuff. 47mm is a big boost for performance and less risk of failure or complications than larger stuff. Here's a before and after of a scoot I worked on last summer. youtu.be/PoK6ofGjeZA |

Here's a before and after of a scoot I worked on last summer. youtu.be/PoK6ofGjeZAYea that's nearly identical to my scoot and it's one of the first videos I found of yours and have watched it 4 or 5 times.so I'm definitely familiar with it.u mentioned it was 4 a buddy and u rarely work on anybody elses shit which can't blame ya..but have they ever got back with you on it's reliability or keep you updated on how it's doing like gas mileage difference or spark plugs fowling? Or is it pretty much unnoticeable exceptthe speed gain?And you mentioned adding a new cam.is that a must have or just optional? And did you keep the stock head or did you have to add the i think it's a 69mm valve head or 64mm but I'm not sure,just going off memory from a comparison of the 2 you mentioned in another YouTube video.also you said u could made a cvt adjustment yet the budget was lacking what kinda cvt would you use and do you think it would run about 50 to 55 with the upgraded cvt? Thanks bud |

Thanks bud I used the stock head and cleaned up/matched the ports and intake a little. Don't think that really changed much, but it bugged me to look at them. The stock head is OK with many 47mm kits. Not a great idea with larger bores. The cam is optional. He wanted as much as he could get cheap and I figured it made more sense to install that while I did the BBK rather than have him come back looking for something else and charge for install. I think it could probably go a little faster with just swapping rollers (sliders preferred), but an aftermarket variator like the Malossi Multivar would be a good choice to make it accelerate even quicker. The guy isn't really a friend. I knew him from a place I went where he was more helpful than anyone else that has worked there and noticed he rode a scoot to work. He said it runs great, but he was never happy with it. He seemed to think it should beat hopped up two-strokes that some people he knew had and thought it was going to power wheelie at speed. I had to talk him out of trying to do more to it because he had such unrealistic goals. He doesn't work there anymore, but I still see the scoot occasionally so I guess it's fine. He said he'd call me if he had any trouble with it in the future and I haven't heard anything. I've messed with them enough otherwise to tell you that fuel economy varies. If you ride at the same speeds as you did before and takeoff about the same, it shouldn't change much. Some people do even better because they can cruise at lower throttle. If you ride quicker and faster, it's surely going to burn more fuel. As long as the carb tune is OK, there's no reason it should start fouling plugs or anything. Keep it maintained and it should be pretty reliable. Everything is a compromise though. If you want max reliability, leave it stock. |

Their pictures are clear and prices seem reasonable. www.vmcchineseparts.com/I checked out the site..wasn't bad they did have a nice variety of scoot parts and was easy to navigate like you said..the only downfall I seen was the shipping prices were as much if not more then the item being purchased..but if you needed a specialty part I'd say it would probably be a nice site to utilize but for most my parts I'll probably use Amazon because you just can't beat there free 2 day shipping on most items.. |
