funny thing is that is what you originally said to go with, and that is what i started with, but then i posted that video and you said lean, and then i kept goin up in jets, all that wasted time to find the manifold extension i had on there had a huge hole in it. ugh. such as the story of my life.  |

turns out the 108 or 110 jet are going to be the one i need. i have the 110 in the scooter now and i dont get any bogging until the very end of the throttle. i still need to dial in the a/f a little bit tho. tonight was just concentrating on getting the scooter to not bog on the main jet area. moving along... in a positive direction! now gotta head back up to the junkyard for a rear tire tho. this junkyard has a bunch of scooters that look like people all ran into walls. rear ends arent bad!

seems as i am getting somewhere. i was messing with it tonight (why do i always end up doing this in the dark?), i have a 120 in the main, the needle is at the lowest position (so it should open sooner if i read that right) and the a/f mix screw is turned out a ton, and im accellerating and then it bogs but different than before. letting off pretty much keeps it constant, no real accelleration. so based on that website, i must be running rich now
luckily, im working from home tomorrow so that means i'll keep an ear on the phone and mess with this scoot some more.
I have a question on my enricher tho. this one when i plug it into the connector on the wiring harness. the green and yellow wires are reversed in the connector vs how they are in the harness, think its more likely that they put the connector on wrong vs wiring the wires opposite

Success... So far. Last night I got some PVC pipe and a rubber coupler from the hardware store. Not my first option but I got my carb turned around. Jack holes at the store took like 15 mins to find out the price of the dang coupler so I ran out of time to do anything other than mount the carb. Didn't get a chance to even start the sucker up.
Should have some time this weekend or tomorrow to have a go at tuning the carb along with all the rest of what I have to do (last thing I needed was another project :/)

Fair enough. Maybe I'll re investigate the stock carb location. Reason I went forward was not for cool factor but out of necessity due to motor mount clearance but it might be do able with the k/n style filter. The carb was originally forward facing and level in my setup with a tension spring to retain level when engine shifted under acceleration etc.

k, thats waht i was leaning towards. Thanks for that link.
i was noticing that the burping happened at more with the larger sized main jets in. however, this was before i realized that big hole between my IM and Carb. so is it ok that my carb doesnt sit level (recall: my manifold is reversed, with carb pointing forward due to space)? if its not a biggie, i'd just rather leave it like it is now since its easier to get at stuff and eliminates a potential problem area.

i took a video today, i got the new fuel pump on, tried a 108, 110, 114 jets with the k/n style cone filter, and then i found a huge tear in the hose between my intake manifold and carb ( i had to improvise due to my setup, there is a length of hose and a 45 degree pvc bend between the carb and intake manifold). so start over, i got the 108 jet in, i got the 108 jet in and it runs and bogs down at probably over 60% throttle and i get i guess 'burps' when i turn the throttle to far open. i took a video...
you can hear the burps, i dont know if they what i read called 'carb farts' or not? I put the carb on the intake manifold, its sitting at an angle, (is that oK?) Thing was idling ok but when i went to ride it again tonight, it didnt idle for crap and would die at stop signs. it will restart and run with twist of the throttle to get it going.
thoughts about the video? you gotta turn it up a bit to hear the 'bogging down' but i did it 3 times.

didnt get out to look at it until after dark, therefore no pictures. but i found a petcock in my box of goodies and stuck that on my extra top tank to eliminate the old leaky fuel pump and bungee'd that tank on top the back of the seat. its lookin pretty epic, and well, oddly not out of place at all based on the rest of the scooter. i'd say definately there is something with that pump as you mentioned, i went ahead and ordered a new one.
i took the main jet out of my old carb, its either a 110 or 115, it wasnt stamped and just came in a set with each little bag labelled with the size. i know its larger than the 103, i could see it holding it up to a light. but i dont have a pin gauge, so, well, i also ordered a jet kit. with 105, 8, 10, 15, 20 etc up to 140 jets. it seemed to run better with that jet in it with the k/n type filter and moved gas tank, but still when i hit the gas and took off for maybe 100' at someting probably around 75% throttle and let off, it still dropped idle low and crapped out
i'll be checking the valve clearance next.
think its possible that the stator is going on it and its got weak spark?
