I have a tao tao( i know i know dont laugh).what are good ways to make it faster,i have read so many different things.i read about the variator,big bore kit,cdi,cutting a wire,etc.i want help on hills and torque but wouldnt mind more speed either lol. any suggestions?
You could try using a larger carburetor in addition to larger jets. A better air filter might be a good choice as well. An upgraded ignition system could make your scoot go faster too.
Use a larger carburetor and/or larger jets.
Use a more free flowing air filter
Use a more free flowing exhaust system
Install a cylinder head with larger/more valves.
it looks like a stock pipe,but i could be wrong it (could be new stock exhaust), the oil and gear oil is fine, when i had my 4 stroke i used 10w-40 synthetic the gear oil is fine for both scooters, i think the A7TC is a cheap chinese plug the ngk should be much better, as far as the oil it is a little dark, i noticed when i used synthetic it would come out darker than regular oil
I would not describe the vibration as a high frequency humm. More up and down – maybe 3 to 5 vibrations per second. With the scoot on center stand, and blocked in the front I would not say there is much if any play in the handlebars.
