Tried a cardboard gasket on the DiBlasi, it didn't work AT ALL. It blew within 15 seconds. Don't use cardboard as a gasket material. So, yesterday I went to ace and got replacement bolts for my exhaust since I lost 3 of them on the way there to get an allen wrench with which to tighten them the other day... Ironic, huh? Now it just sounds so much better I have to share it with you guys: Note: That was a cold start  |

Hi 100-125 psi is good, 125-150 psi is very good, and 150+ psi is great My bbk scoot was 190 psi Take care and ride safely dear friend Yours Hank Wow, that puts the "Great" in "Great Leap Forward", Huzzah! Thanks, Hank! Not surprised that your scooter would be so amazing, such a shame that you don't have it anymore.  |

Is this healthy compression for a newly installed bbk?   |

[replyingto=ej132]ej132[/replyingto]That's what I did. Still gotta adjust the a/f screw for first-try-starts, but the #38 worked wonders for me because I have a free flow filter.  Note: you should only need to get a 38 if you up the displacement of your scooter. If not, then a longer 35 should be fine. |

[replyingto=freefour1968]freefour1968[/replyingto]Beautiful scooter!  50kph... Isn't that around 33mph? You should be able to get more out of your scooter, I think. Are there any restrictions? |

[replyingto=freefour1968]freefour1968[/replyingto]Hi! Welcome to the forum.  When I had a 63cc top end my top flat speed was around 35mph on average. Now that I have a 81cc (50mm) bbk, sliders, and clutch springs my takeoff and acceleration are awesome and my top speed is closer to 45mph on flats. Here are my former speeds with varying variator weights from when I had 63cc: (I weigh 267lbs so the speeds here will be higher for a lighter rider and should be roughly similar to the speeds expected from a 50cc scooter with an average sized rider) 4g: 35mph uphill, 33mph GPS 40mph flat terrain, 36mph GPS 45mph downhill, 39mph GPS Three 4g and three 9g: 32mph uphill, 28mph GPS 40mph flat terrain, 37mph GPS 50mph downhill, 43mph GPS Six 9g: 30mph up hill, 25mph GPS 40mph flat terrain, 38mph GPS 47mph downhill, 40mph GPS Three 4g sliders and Three 6.5g rollers: 33mph uphill, ~40mph flat terrain, 37mph GPS 48mph downhill, As far as WOT goes, you kind of have to beat the crap out of your engine because it's only 50cc, once you upgrade to a 81cc (or more) you won't have to go WOT nearly as much (but there's still more power, and thus more wear on the engine/crankshaft). Best of luck to ya in your upgrades! |

1p39qmb

Heya, P! brother!
There's a slight chance that the 1p39qmb motor has a 63cc, but not likely unless it's a peace sports from around 2009.
Here's how to tell:
Good luck!

My scooter is working great! The only problem is safety. Right now my old filter seems to be holding up with it taped on, but I don't know how long that will last. Otherwise my scooter is in great condition.
I'll be sure to keep an eye on the belt for extra wear. Thanks!
True. I let my mother use the card sometimes for groceries and such in hopes that I'll be eventually increasing my credit rating. I always pay my bills on time, and I try not to let my credit accrue.
Once my APR stops it'll be roughly 18% so you're right on that, it's pretty high.
I'm doing my best to not have to pay the APR, it's like throwing money at an imaginary friend or something because the APR isn't justified by anything other than the imagination of the credit card company.
Yup. I hope to be even more careful on my scooter, but we'll see. ;D

Congrats on the bbk install! Like Skutta says, you should only be idling it long enough for the engine to warm up, not much longer than that. 5 minutes tops maybe. Though I've read elsewhere that you need to make sure the engine is warm before taking a ride anywhere with a new bbk. You can safely bump up to a 38 idle jet, it's what I use, makes for easier startups, etc. Right now I'm using a #  main jet and it seems to be working though I have yet to do a plug chop. #  should be safe too, but I'm not quite sure. You may want to temporarily switch to the weights that came with the kit as they are heavier. I myself have 3 4g and 3 9g weights which seems good for my setup and weight but a lighter rider needs more weight from what I've read. Definitely listen to Millsc. The ones that came with my kit were 8.6g roller weights. I got 45mph on flats now, you should be able to do similar with your identical bbk Good luck! |

@wheelbender: Wow, I didn't know that. Sounds like a good idea to me. Driving drunk people home with a means to travel back; that's pretty smart. domindart: Very well said, my friend. prodigit: Haha, yeah it goes pretty dang fast! On the slightest of turns the muffler was hitting the pavement (what do you expect though? It's a 139qmb muffler, haha) and my uncle drove into the grass to stop the thing and it folded up on him so yeah, definitely no offroad racing! |
