Remove variator weights and weigh them. Lighter weights, or , keep the CVT drive in "low range" longer. Only YOU can determine which configuration is optimal! Also replace .

Thank you tortoise I will start on that tomorrow morning. I'll let you know how everything works out.

Another consideration is that SOME of the TaoTao 50's are actually lean running 63's . . . . related .

CVT tuning .

Thank you again tortoise, I changed out the rollers and removed the cap from the air/fuel mixture screw and adjusted my carb. I can now climb hills at about max speed of 11mph when before it wasn't at all. I think I am going to order the High Performance CDI, Coil and Cone Air Filter and put them on and see if it makes much difference.
Thank you again tortoise for your help.

sounds like a worthless 4 stroke engine, just spent 2 weeks on vacation working on a piaggio 150, did what i had to do then walked away from that piece of total crap.

If your scoots happen to be 2 strokes i suggest a polini contessa 70cc bore kit, a cdi will do nothing for hills.
