TaoTao 125d - What is this part?

gizmodo · 12-12-2016, 10:27 AM

I found one of these at a garage sale for free. I got it running, but I wanted to look over it. When I removed the cover for the magneto I noticed the insulation on the two red wires on this part is cracked. I can probably shrinkwrap them but I'm curious what this part is for.

Are there any exploded diagrams of this engine/transmission? I also need to look into a clutch that seems to slip as the engine warms up. It is the one with Forward, Neutral and Reverse.

That's the neutral switch.

Thanks. I was just coming back to say I had traced the wires and it went to the N and R lights.

Do not forget to set the valves on this... before you bend them... lack of maintence .. they do not get done.. they run better..

Thanks for the heads up. I just took a look at Youtube and found some examples. I'll put that on my list. I might end up pulling the head anyway, there are a few drips of oil after it runs and I'd like to get that fixed too.
