Tao Youth Quad 110 Bogging badly under load
#1
Great site here. Thanks for making it so easy to post.
2020 or newer 110 youth quad. The tiny one. Full auto transmission. Has the key fob so you can shut the motor off from a distance.
There are two of them here.
I will add the first thing I did was cut out the steering stop to increase the turning radius. This mod made a night and day difference. So far no downside to this with over steering to one direction or the other.
Some observations.
‘There must be some type of limiter installed in these. The top speed on them seems to be maybe 15-20 mph. It tops out pretty early.
The amount of vibration felt wide open almost made me look for loose motor mounts. I assume they are all like this.
Onto my issue.
Two times running one of these prior no operating issues noticed. Tank filled with pump gas premium.
Today one of them would not run clean from fully closed to wide open. Heavy bog along with sputtering. Some slight backfire but limited. Would clean out if I could get a long enough area to build speed.
Checked fuel flow from petcock. No issue.
Made sure air filter container properly attached.
Put quad on top a milk crate. With no load it runs as it should. No hesitation.
Checked plug and switched between the 2. No change.
‘Pulled carb off. Managed to remove the non-removable float bowl screws. Blew out main and pilot jets with compressed air. But did not look to insure they both were clear. Pried off cap sealing air screw.
No change.
Starting to think a ignition issue. But running fine with full throttle applications with no load makes me return to carb issue.
I did look through a couple pages for similar issues posted. I did read about the product placed into the float bowl.
Any help or suggestions?

Swap bits from one to the other and see which causes the fault to swap. Easiest is ignition parts like coil and CDI but as you wrote most likely a carb isue. Engines don't like being run full throttle, no load, especially if they are fairly new, so don't make a habit of it. The speed limiter is usually a stop on the handlebar throttle lever, you may be able to get more speed by loosening it. It is on the front of the control box, if fitted.

Im aware of the thumb throttle limiting screw. I just wondered if there was another limiter. The relative low top speed is a gearing issue vs another method to lower top speed.
I will emphasize cutting off the steering limiter. Night and day in ability to turn so much tighter.
Fixed.
‘The issue was with the pilot. Blowing compressed air through it without removal did not clear it.
‘Removed it today and used a tool set designed for cleaning furnaces. It comes with ridiculous small needles that are squared off as it gets wider. These worked extremely well relieving the jet.
I would add this jet features a extremely tiny passage.
Thank you gentlemen for the posts in an effort to assist.
