Try vaseline to hold gaskets for the intake side off engine. The intake manifold (engine side) should need silicone to hold them or a thin coat of heavy engine oil.

Blew the seal on the front break wheel cylinder. Had to break hard, rear wheel not adjusted exactly equal to front. Front took most of strain and went soft on pull. Oil from the wheel cylinder noted on bottom of unit. Ordered new assembly. My question. Where can I get the gaskets? I would like to rebuild the blown unit and keep for the future, I found the master cylinder kit but no gaskets for the wheel cylinder, or should I try to get the break gasket material from a automotive supply and make my own?

good looken out...

I took the scooter out yesterday and opened her up wide and it seemed like she was not getting enough fuel. Let it sit 24 hrs and put her up on center stand> started fine, let it warm up 4 min. Opened it up and it seemed to do the same for a min. or so. Then it took off like a bat out of hell. No problems. I then went to town with no problems. I bought some gum-out in the skinny Btl. put a little in the tank and topped it off for GP. Hope to head off future problems. I will be changing the fuel lines and vac hoses. What is the best fuel filter for the Taotao 50cc 2012 model?

I'm trying to figure out a better parking situation here at the apartment complex. I sometimes have no place to park my scoot. I requested one of the neighbors that dosent move his truck much to park nearer one end, where I can get in and out easy and access the side walk when I need to. He told me" tough I dont care!" I said ok, have a good evening and he flipped me off. What a wanker. One day he will need something and I will respond in kind! Live and let Die man!

cooling your neck will help also. Major blood vessels to the brain. I put some dry beans in a long sock with Hair ties here and there to help keep them in place. This is cheaper than jell packs and reusable as well. PS also the beans are good for reducing swelling with strained ankles and they can be microwaved a few seconds and used as a heat pack. Rice works as well.

what is the max weight on a Taotao 50cc? The tag says 250 front and back. Is this 500 max? I weigh 220 and I take the wife to work once in a while she weighs 98 Lbs soaking wet. How much damage am I doing? I warm it up to operating temp, Upgrades? I plan on CDI, spark plug, coil, drive belt, air box change to cone shaped pleated race style, CVT weights (what would be best to use with the weight load?) I'm going to go to a synthetic oil (weight and brand?) And I will be changing fluids @75% of scheduled millage. I thought a ceramic variater I had seen on line might give better performance.
