Let me start by saying Hello to everyone, I'm new to this forum and since I'm a strong believer in " The more you know the better " I think I will very much enjoy this forum. By the way I'm Mike from Adrian Michigan.
I have 2 moped/Scooters and are always looking for others opinions on about what to do/fix with them. I been into small engines the most of my life and the oldder I get the more I enjoy them. With that being said I just now started getting into Moped/Scooters due to there cheap, high gas prices ( Can't beat 90+ mpg ) and overal the fun they can be.
The first Moped/Scooter is a 2012 tao tao 50 I just got new from provenpowersports.com ( baby was made 2,20,2012 ) and overal I like this Moped/Scooter but the thing is slow and after hearing the speedo can be off by up to 20% I really hate to see how slow I'm really going. Yes I did change the oils, both gear and motor and the spark plug will be next and I'm thinking the CDI must be resticted so also a unresticted CDI. I don't want a speed demon but 35mph top end and I'll be happy. Hell I'm only a buck 185 so I don't think that speed is to much to ask. Not sure if its the "63" but it is 1P39QMP just can't find the 6b stamp on it. If it is then its the slowest "63" out there lol.
My 2nd Moped/Scooter is a 1984 Honda Aero 50 ( 2 Stroke of course ) and for $150 bucks from a dude from ebay I really love this little thing and with my 6'4 feet ass on this baby it really does look small lol. Ran like sh!t when I first got it and just cleaned the carb, jet... , new spark plug, new plug wire, little TLC and Bam she runs like a champ doing 37mph all day. The carb gasket does leak a little and the petcock is not working right ( Most likely stuck up ) To fix this the guy before me installed a fuel shut off on the fuel line and cut a hole through the plastic's to reach it with some pliers lol. I shall fix that soon.
Well its nice to meet everyone but I need to head off to work. Any and all opinions about fixxes, upgrades.... are welcome.
Mike
