"Portend"; had to look that one up. You're using them fancy words on us.
Really nice looking scoot, and I'm with you (and your neighbour) on the addictive nature. Looking forward to the speedo correction, especially since you'll be able to quantify subsequent improvements. I have a bicycle speedo laying around, and I might install it on my buddy's scoot for the same reason.

The yellow tao tao I repaired would peg the speedo at 50+ too. Felt more like 40.

That would be about right. I was going down hill and saw 50mph. 42mph would be realistic.
Up the big hill about 25mph from a dead stop. |

If I can just get a little more ooommmph going up the hills, I'll be very happy with this scooter! Shouldn't take anything drastic or too many things...
Question for youse: Up until today, when I'd turn off the ignition (key) switch, the scooter would keep running, till I hit the kill switch. I just now returned from a ride, and noticed that now, when I turn the key switch off...it kills the motor without having to hit the kill switch. Which way is it supposed to be???? |

The keyswitch should kill the ignition. There may be a loose wire from the keyswitch to the cdi that decided to make a connection.

You could always solder them, but you'd need to be careful to not melt the connectors.

A little lean for my liking. A rich mixture is cheap insurance.

My China budget precludes several mods at once, as does my need to quantify everything. If you change the head, jets, torque spring, etc all at once, you don't know where your biggest gain was. Nor do you know what caused the problem if it won't run.
I like to limit mods to one at a time where practical. To me, switching to a free-flowing air filter and muffler along with the appropriate jets to feed it is one mod. After dialing in that combo, you could decide if your money and efforts are best spent on a bigger head or a torque spring. YMMV. Just MHO.

I very much echo Weld's thoughts.
Even when tuning up a car I do it in steps. Change the plugs and then start it and check. Change the points and do the same. Change the distributer cap and then the same. This way if there is a miss I'll know what is causing it with no further troubleshooting.
