What do you do to the carb after you put on a big bore kit?

by Sean
(FL)

I just put a big bore kit on my scooter and for some reason it burnt a hole in the top of the cylinder and the mechanic's telling me that it was because the fuel jets were too small.


I was wondering what size I am supposed to put in? I have 49cc 1PE40QMB motor which I put a 70cc kit on.

TUNING
by: Anonymous

Are we talking a two stroke motor or four?

For a two stroke:

If your main jet stock was, let's say an 80 (should be stamped on the jet itself), try around a 90 jet. There is tons of wonderful info about two stroke engines on the internet.

Try searching by two stroke tuning. You will have to do some plug chops to get it right. Plug should be a medium to dark brown color. Black color means too rich, no color or white means to lean.

Look up Enviromoto.com on your search engine and ask Jeremy about it. Or Jim Martin at Rapid Repair.com. Either one of these guys are ace mechanics and should be able to tell you what main jet to use.

I would tell you to go to www.partsforscooters.com. Get the phone number and call them. They will be able to tell you what size you would need. They have been great to me.

Battery Tender Junior in package

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.

Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.

One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.

Read our review or go right to Amazon.com to buy this highly recommended Battery Tender Jr NOW...
