Exclamation 2015 Tao Tao ATV carb issue

So I have a 2015 taotao atv and after watching videos on cleaning carbs on the internet mine looks a bit different. There is a line going from the air filter to the engine. and there is an line that goes from the bottom of the carb down to nothing. Here are some pictures because I'm not sure what the names are for them.

In this photo the RED is the line that goes from the bottom of the carb to nothing. BLUE is the fuel line. GREEN is the line that goes to air filter to engine.

This is it all together not attached to the manifold

The specs

I am not familiar with part names or any names because i've never done this before except research. Thanks if you can help!

Welcome to the forums.

The line on the bottom is a drain line for the carb bowl. The line from the engine to the filter is a vent line.

You may want to post this in the Chinese section of the forums. The problem I see with a carb that fits that many different sized motors would be jetting. Pretty sure someone over there has done this and knows all the tricks.

My opinion on the starter fluid is, no. Maybe if you were just trying to get it running after sitting for a while and helping get the fuel flowing, but not as a way to start it just when it's cold. That is what the choke should be doing. Not good on the motor for long term use.

So RE-USE the stock filter no?

You can reuse the stock filter or just drill out the end of the new filter and swap the fitting over super easy. Use the choke in the winter if the carb is properly tuned it should start fairly easy. Have the same carb and machine and have no issue with cold starts
