Well after straightening the needle out and giving it a few test runs today the scoot seems to be running just fine. I even found a way to charge my battery so now it's good too ;D Only thing that seems off to me is like I stated in another post, When at a low idle and starting down hill the scooter doesn't seem to be in gear but if I just give it a little throttle you can feel it engage. Is this something that is normal or maybe caused by low idle speed and I need to raise it just a bit or does this need attention too? It didn't do it before all this trouble. Thanks -Tim |

Well, I got my BBK today but there's a slight problem...It came with everything but the cylinder...  I'm in contact with the seller but man was I hoping to be able to bolt this up today. Here's what I did get in though...  It seems they sent me a Variator instead of the cylinder which I guess is a simple case of mistaken identity for the box most likely. -Tim |

[replyingto=z0m8i3]Z0M8I3[/replyingto]Wow, the most crucial part of the whole "bbk" concept. What's a Big Bore, without the Big Bore?! Good luck in getting this straightened out. Looks just like the kit I ordered, save for the variator. |

Yeah, I'm a little bummed about it. Not so much upset, just disappointed really. Hopefully they let me keep the variator as I was going to order one down the road sometime anyways... One question about the BBK's, Do I HAVE to get another muffler or does the stock exhaust work? Also, should I get some new jets and an air filter because of the kit as well or will stock work? I'm in no hurry to install it if I need to purchase more parts first.
Thanks
-Tim

I'm also having trouble figuring out what would be a good set with what number would be best to try first. Sorry for the stupid question -Tim |

Well, I got the carb installed today but it seems VERY out of tune...which isn't good for me because I have no idea how to tune it. It BARELY idles and would die when I gave it gas. Now it won't even start. I've read tutorials for adjusting it but apparently I have no skill when it comes to that D8
Guess i,'all try some more tomorrow but man is it getting me down. Wish I had someone close by who knew how to do it.
