If there is a remote possibility that this would work, I would buy it to test for informations sake.

Interesting. I've considered swapping an entire axle assembly, but I never thought of installing a Honda axle into the China housing.

odd carb
Finally getting back to the upgrades here. I put the honda recon shocks on, the TRX shocks with the reservoir will not clear the mounts unless i fabricated separate upper shock mounts which I am not interested in getting into doing. So I will list those back on Ebay.
The quad sits lower now and she likes that, it still sits higher than the 250 Recon that she also has, but I do not think the articulation of the suspension is going to rub on any body work. I also put the spacers on which of course makes it look proportionally correct. I was going to do the rear sprocket but did not have time after lock tightening everything down and I have yet to correct the "Toe" on the tie rod but we will not ride until next week possibly so I have time. One thing that drives me CRAZY is the carb on this quad. I thought it was a PZ30 but it is a PZ27 as you can see. This goes against the information that was given by another post, so I REALLY want to get a mikuni or upgrade so that she no longer has long torturous hard starts with stalling all the time. Do I just jet this one or get a PZ 30 online? I do not have the time to work on the dirt bikes and quads like most of you seem to have, but boy is it nice when I actually do get some stuff done. Looking forward to following all your posts and seeing what you are doing and possibly replicating on hers. |

2LZ all the purchase information is in your thread. Remember Kim Parks and the tele number/texas? The sprocket looks amazing, but I did not have time to put it on and I am pretty sure it is NOT a 520 (or whatever our are, its a 4 series I suspect)

Happy Easter
This is from left to right, my girlfriend, her daughter and her sister driving.
that Recon is my Nemesis. I want to make the TaoTao as fun to ride because my girlfriend bought her sister the TaoTao for her 40th birthday. She was so frustrated with it she went out and bought her partner the Recon as a "gift"...SOOOO when they do actually go riding together for the first time, Laurie will HAVE to ride the TaoTao because she is the only one who knows how to operate a clutch. Once she is on that quad, I want her to think (she does not even have to admit it to me) that the Tao Tao kicks ASS. Suspension done, Spacers done, once the carb is on and it actually fires up that should be a big win and one step closer. Thanks guys for all the guidance and input! Hope you all had a great easter |

Nice family there! Enjoy the little one while they're little. Soon they grow up, become expensive and want the car keys!
You'll make the Tao Tao rock...there's no doubt in my mind!

Carb
I received the carburetor in the mail, then the next day the Jets R us package and I copied what 2LZ did for main and pilot. I took it apart on the kitchen counter and had it back together in 15 minutes, ready to bring to Laurie's quad to install. I really hope this improves her stumbling, hard starts and throttle response.
I have never messed with a carburetor before so this was very interesting for me. I am interested in taking her old one apart now... |
