BBK Tuning

Hello everyone this is my first post. I was hoping to get some opinions on some problems I'm having perfecting my scooter since installing a 100cc (83cc) BBK on my 139qmb GY6 scooter. These are the mods I have done so far: -100cc BBK (includes jet and 8g roller weights) -high flow open air filter -92 size main jet -8g roller weights -Aftermarket performance CDI and ignition coil -high flow fuel filter Originally when I installed the BBK I was getting rich running conditions with the stock air filter. So I installed an open cone air filter. This helped a lot but actually caused the bike to be running lean. On my first ride I could get up to about 30mph easily and actually pretty quick before the engine would start surging. Sounded to me like I was leaning out at the higher rpm. So I up jetted the carb to 92 (from ), installed the performance CDI and coil, and the 8g roller weights, and the high flow fuel filter. This helped alot, I can now get up to about 35-38mph before the surging problem starts again. So now I am stumped, I'm not sure where to go from here. So I am just hoping that someone could give me some suggestions to fix this problem. I plan on tweaking the carb a little more. I want to up jet to 100 and experiment with the float needle height. I bore out the stock exhaust by drilling four 3/8" holes but I definitely plan on installing an aftermarket performance exhaust as well. If anyone has any suggestions or could help I would appreciate it!! BTW I know it says I am a new rider, but I have had this bike since 2008 and I never had any problems with anything. I just needed a summer project. So I am an experienced rider, but a completely inexperienced mechanic. Ride On!!

First step, adjust the needle height.

"So I up jetted the carb to 92 (from ), installed the performance CDI and coil, and the 8g roller weights, " What was the weight previously? Have you checked or replaced your vacuum lines and checked all of the vacuum connections to make sure your vacuum levels are sufficient to operate the fuel system? Is your filter letting in too much air, causing a low vacuum situation at high RPM? A low vacuum condition will hurt the performance of a vacuum operated fuel pump or petcock so that not enough fuel is delivered at high RPM. Perhaps try the stock intake again and see what happens.

If I'm not mistaken the main jet is at work at anything past half throttle. In my experience I use a new spark plug then run the bike at full throttle for a few minutes down the road. Shut off the engine immediately and remove the spark plug. If the ceramic insulator and side electrode are light to medium tan then the main jet is not the culprit. If it's whitish it's too lean, if it's blackish you're rich. After the BBK install I would not have changed the coil, cdi, etc until it was running right. A bad cdi can also cause the same problems as a mis jetted carb

Oops I thought of an easier way to determine if you're rich. Run your scoot flat out on a level road with the throttle fully ope.n, then back off a tiny bit and if you pick up a little more speed, you are rich
