Hey everyone . I think I have decided on what to do next to my retro. I'm going with the 18mm carb . It's already set up for 50-70cc scoots . I was thinking about a bbk or carb . Old school hot rodder knows the more you can squeeze out of a motor the better but when you go over the design limits of the internals you can have problems . Although I have thought of getting a bbk the benifits of the low torque are off set by the lowered max rpm . Your moving more mass on parts not necessarily designed for it .Yes you can put taller gears to make up for the speed and eventually have a bigger bike so to speak but then your putting more strain on the parts than what they were designed to do. A bigger carb , better cam ( either for lower torque or higher rpm ) and a good exauhst are makeing the motor breath better and more efficient while still keeping the stresses within tolerance . My scoot does 64 on the flats with no problem add a slight decline or tail wind and it will do 76 without fail, also a slight incline or head wind and it steady at 60 . That's kph not mph lol. Adding a better/bigger carb and it will give me what I think I'm looking for . Of course this is from learning from hot ridding cars in the past and building rat bikes . What's your comments ?
