I'm going to try a 9g/7g mix now (3 ea.) then decide if i want to even bother testing a return to 7g or go back to 9g. With the wind at my back yesterday, it hit 46mph which made me happy. wind in my face, 25mph  . |

I know you probably did this but are your valves set at .004 with tolerance for .005?(meaning .005 will slide in this medium force.
Whens the last time you changed your spark plug?
How clean is your oil?
If all the things above are taken care of then you may have a weak spark
How much do you weigh?
What size carb and main jet do you have?
Can you take a video os it running and revving.

My opinion is your running with to heavy of weights which lower your rpms. Alleyoop |

Gotcha, thank you Alley. Valves set, and the oil, plug, variator, belt, fuel lines, sliders (9g anyway), fuel lines, tires, carb (w  main) all brand new. Weight/other details in sig. Lemme know if you see anything jumping out at you. I don't care about low-end accel, I ride country roads to I just need that top end to do the best it can, and if I could I would DEFINITELY jump up to a more powerful scooter, but this is what I gots, so I gots what I gots. Thanks for your input, jj and Alley. Going to test the 9g/7g mix now, down from all 9g sliders. |

For 50 bucks you can upgrade the piston to 50mm. The stock is 39mm, and its easy enough to do it yourself. That will give you a big accel and top end advance. You would have to buy an A9 cam shaft to unlock your top speed. It runs around 30 bucks

Mark your variator like this 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch and when trying your weights you want only about 1/8 mark left on the edge of the variator. Now also try the lighter weights Remember the faster you turn the variator(more rpms) the faster it will turn your rear pulley for top end speed. And also with a little more rpms you will get there faster as well and have more power to push through the wind. So it is trial and error with the weights. Alleyoop  |

JJ live in the Northern Neck area, north of Yorktown. I'm not the type to do a bbk; I hate having this thing torn apart; just want the best I can get out of it. Alley, will do with rollers; funny, looks like the belt has been riding really high on the new variator if I'm reading the variator correctly. So that tells me that the 9g sliders (for some reason) have been performing best. I just did the 7/9 mix with a slight loss in power and acceleration (made no sense to me)--maxed 35.5 mph with wind at back (coming back against wind, 26 mph). Now I'm going to go all 7g again but mark the variator first with the dry erase after it cools down enough to work on it. EDIT: 7k rmp chinameter is the highest I've been able to get it.

Ok so the 9/7g slider combo got the belt all the way up to the top of the variator by dry-erase marker method. Probably have less than 1/8th to the edge of the plate. I guess I should just leave it as is or go back to 9g. I mean, once you've reached the top of the variator, where else is there to go?

Great!! near the edge is the best you will get, to gain more top end speed now requires either MORE RPMS or go with taller gearing if your looking for top end speed.
Mixing 3/3 is not always the best you had a total of 8 gram with the 7/9 but don't forget only three of each so what happens is the 3 9s is not enough weight to push out the variator all the way and the other 3 7s is not enough to keep the belt low for very long because of the 3 9s pushing the variator past the 7s so you loose on both ends.
