TaoTao ATM50-a1 will NOT move!

[ethanjt21]

OK, so I ordered my scoot and got it in, built it, everything was fine, then I had an accident , and now my scooter starts and idles perfectly fine, revs fine, but it wont move. Once I sit on it and try to accelerate it, it just doesn't move. Here's what I KNOW is OK:
- Fuel Filter
- Carbouerator
- Compression and Lines [no leaks]
- Idle
- Valves at .004
- Turn Over
- Battery
- Spark Plug
- Oil (10w - 40, which I change religiously)

I am no mechanic and have been going through it piece by piece, I cannot find the problem. If it starts and idles it can't be carb or battery or spark plug, I've checked all my lines, checked my fuel filter, everything. Any suggestions?

First off, thank-you
Second, no I didn't, I didn't see the belt, any idea relatively where it is? And if that's it, what's a good replacement?

Thank-you, it's already dark so I will check my belt after work tomorrow and let you guys know what I see. Thanks.

So I looked at the CVT/Belt, and while the CVT looks a little more worn in the picture of "normal wear" it seems ok, roller weights are still circular, and the belt is about 19mm. I don't think it's the belt/cvt, someone mentioned a "torque problem" at work today, idk how to check that and google searching reveals little useful information, any help would be cool

your main nut from your clutch probably binded, i had a job where the same situation you descibed happened and it was the clutch the main nut came loose and cross threaded, its a clutch problem in my opinion even if its not the main nut your clutch is froze.

If you have the CVT cover off start it up and see if it engages . Do not rev it WOT . Could be a bad spring(s) in the clutch . Does it sound like it slips ? Glazing can happen to the pads and the bell so inspect if it slips

Good Idea, Start it and check all around the clutchs, its easy to tell whats not happening!

Just stand on the other side in case parts fly off as I have read where some have gotten hurt real bad by parts flying off into them
