I need some advice for my next purchase. I'm currently running with what you see in my signature, plus a stock 19mm carb and stock head. I'm wondering what the next best step would be: a 20mm carb, a 50mm big valve head, or something different?
My current carb has the drawback of not having an adjustable clip on the needle. I popped the cap on the A/F screw a while back, and there. It also does not have an accelerator pump, which I think might be helpful, but I haven't heard much about them. I would also need a 40mm air filter, my current one is only 38mm. I feel like a larger carb would perform better with my high-volume setup.
The stock head is an EGR head (which isn't truly EGR as we all know) and my exhaust backfires a little unless I plug the inlet hose to that system, so I'd like a non-EGR head. I feel like a larger bore head with larger valves might also perform better.
The prices for the two are comparable - about $50 for the head or $50 for the carb plus new filter. I can't find the carb I was looking at before that met my criteria, but here's the link to the head I'm interested in: www.ebay.com/itm/Scooter-High-Performance-Racing-Head-100cc-Big-Bore-Big-Valve-Head-GY6-50cc-/161079743341
- Not sure if it's 64 or 69mm valves, I need a 69mm valve head.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts and suggestions!
