I'm currently awaiting my bbk and bigger main jets from scootertuning. So in the mean time, I removed my snorkel. I am wondering if I should consider getting a bigger pilot jet, due to the more airflow from the airbox... Or should I just wait until I get my BBK installed with the bigger main jet, THEN see how it runs? I read that I may need a bigger pilot jet if I am to remove the snorkel, but if I am going to have the change the pilot again after my bbk, I might aswell just wait. Besides I think the foot of snow is just starting to melt 😎 Thanks guys! All advice is welcomed  I'll mostly be playing the sponge, and just soakin in all the beautiful works of a 2 stroke. |

I am entirely new to the scooter world and have yet to get mine on the road, so forgive a guy a possibly stupid question, but snorkel? Is that the giant, clunky airbox that came stock on my ride? If so, I'd be eager to read the answer to your question as that's the first thing I'm looking to change once I get her running (have a new carb on order, hoping it sorts me out.)

Actually, That will be , quite literally, a snorkel looking type thing inside the cover of your airbox! Shouldn't take you more than 2 minutes to remove. PM me if you needed a pic of the snorkel. Enjoy the scooter life and the forum 😎✌️

You Will Need a assortment of Both Main and Pilot jets.
The BBk and the air box/snorkel mod will Demand More Fuel throughout the entire rpm range.

I should add, This is not a forgiving four stroke running in a bath of oil, Don't play with lean jetting on a Two Smoker.
Would recommend to start out fat and back up from there.

How many more size up/bigger of a pilot jet do you think I should start with first? I already have a set of main jets but I haven't really done my research/info on the pilot. Mine also doesn't have a number on it, but I know a similar build has a 70main like mine and a 22.5 pilot, so it maybe a 22.5 aswell.

I would recommend at least 4-6 sizes above what is in the Carb. now
Jets are fairly cheap if ya but only one or two shipping charges to get more cost more than the jets do.
Again Start out fat (rich) and back up from there. its safer that way on a Two Stroke.

Take your time, pay close attention to detail, install surgical clean.
