Differences between two tao tao scooters.

No I haven't changed the gear oil. The back tire also has a wobble to it like maybe a bad drum brake? like how I mentioned earlier that for 2% of the spin it gets tough. But I'm taking it back to them today. To do one of the three things you mentioned. This time it wont be leaving their shop until it acts like a NEW scooter.

I've never messed with a scooter engine, but I know Urals. Ural brake drums tend to be machined a tad off center and will get tighter/looser as they rotate, which gives a mild surging sensation during braking. Just food for thought.

JMHO, but I think if I was having that much weirdness, I'd just spring for a new carb. At least then you could mark off the most complicated of the possible issues. Sounds like you purchased from a shady "dealership" that did no more than finish bolting it together (which is a common problem, no?).
