Firstly, welcome aboard!! I posted this in another topic but it seems you're suffering the same problems - give this a try: Hi, What i have found which is very serious is that the auto choke (the little black plastic thing on the left hand side of the carb with a cable running out of it) was always switched on therefore making the petrol mix far too rich and most of the time flooding the cylinder with petrol when at idle speed and going along at a fast speed aswell. So first off all i recomend you disconnect the auto choke from the rest of the bike, very easilly done by just pulling the the connecting cable clips apart (just follow the wire from the black auto choke box, on the carb, and then you will see a red connector clip, just pull them apart.) Doing that should fix most of your problems. If you find after doing that procedure it still cuts out when at idle speed there is a small flat head screw at the front left hand side of the the carb wich may need screwing nearly all the way inwards (what i did was screwed it in all the way and then unscrewed it 1/4 - 1/2 turns outwards), this screw controls the amount of fuel the pilot jet is squirting into the cylinder. Screwing it inwards this will decrease the amount of fuel being squirted in from the pilot jet at idle speed therfore should stop the cylinder being flooded and cutting out at idle speeds. This is what i done to fix my cutting-out, stalling and low power problems hopefully it should sort yours.

would this procedure be the same on a 4 stroke machine, when you say about the mixture being to rich your talking about a 2 stroke machine?

I think a few Taishans and Baotians suffer from this problem, hope you get it sorted soon.

i had that problem with mine. when i was going to work a couple of weeks ago i found the bike a bit spluttery and when i twisted the throttle rite round i seemed to die out and lose speed. i got the mechanic at my work to have a look at it and it was the automatic choke sticking on, he gave it a grease and away it went like brand new again
