Hi there.

I purchased a Tao Tao atv 110d for amazon a few weeks ago.

Now I have it all togeather and and battery fully charged but the thing wont start.

If someone could please write up a small guide on how to start this thing I would really appreciate it. I did get it started once but that was it I couldnt for the life of me start it a 2nd time. (the first time only last for 10 seconds or so. I should mention that its cold here also around 20-30f

Please any help in this matter would be useful.

Thanks

 

Make sure the kill tether is all the way pushed in! We got my nephews atv home the other day a taotao 135D and it was running really fidgedy and turned out that the tether wasn't pushed on all the way.

Here is a tip guide from the website of the place I bought my taotaos, hope it helps some how.

After vehicle assembly, do the following:

a. Ensure all nuts/bolts are securely fastened.

wow thank you very much.

I had two things wrong.

The speed limiter was way to low.
The choke was in the wrong posistion.


I do need to add a few things.

1. The spark plug you recommended
2. I purchased a fuel filter I still need to put it in
3. a fuel petcock (since mine didnt have one it it
4. a Better air filter (was recommended online.

I just wannt this to be perfect for my kid on christmas.

She is going to flip

 

You and I are in the same boat as far as making sure these things are perfect for our daughters love their new atv's!

One more thing, I went out yesterday and started the 110cc that we got for our daughter and the 125 that I am holding on to for my nephew and I noticed the 125 had a weak battery (they have only been sitting for about 3 days and the battery is losing juice). turns out these things are notorious for coming with crappy batteries! So, before you (santa) roll it up to the Christmas tree for her, make sure the battery is good and charged! You don't want to be working on the atv come Christmas morning!

 

Just upgrade to a better battery I think it's a 4y or 4amp hour atv battery they all use the same one.

 

Hey rusty how cold has it been in your area the past few days. Its been a steamy 40f. I heard cold hurts batteries so have you been having issues in really gold area or has it been none freezing temps.

 

The past few days has been fairly mild with below 32 in the morning and getting up around mid 40's low 50's during the day here. My garage is climate controlled so the temperature shouldn't affect the atv's where they are right now.

 

i just run one of those small battery charger/maintainer on them. Even though i have new batteries on them. I permanently mounted leads to them so just plug it in and forget it.

 

I just started it. It was a rough start but it got going after a few minutes

 

So I have a 110cc I got new for the kids, It reached the break in on the new oil and I told my 14 year old son to wait until we changed the oil to allow his younger brother to ride it... While gone today, he took it upon himself to change the oil.. something he does on his own on his ATV.
the bad news is he pulled the wrong plug on the bottom and a shaft with holes fell out and he thinks it was backed by a spring. he thinks the spring shot back inside.. I have done alot of research and can not find much info... even the parts catalogs don't show this part..
if any one can give me some insight before i take this thing apart to find out if a spring is inside it would be appreciated....
