When I was testing jets on my 150cc, I just kept putting in bigger jets and trying them out at top speed. At 115, I felt the throttle had the most power, and I could easily hit 60 on the Chinometer with no trouble. When I went up one more step to a 120, it took longer to get to 60mph. I believe that means I should use the 115 for maximum power. What kind of air filter and exhaust system ? John Stock filter and exhaust. At sea level. Started with 105 jet in the carb and went up from there. Engine ran pretty hot with the 105. 115 gave me max hp as far as I can tell, and no more "hot" smell and "clinking" sounds as the the engine cools down. I think the 105 jet was seriously bad for this engine.    |

I think there was an Xmen or New Mutant character named Nightcrawler, who had the ability to leave his body and go around doing fun stuff, if I recall correctly. Now that would make a good movie. A movie about paparazzi or other slime, not so much. nightcrawler was the x-man with bluish skin and a tail. Originated from a family of circus freaks I believe. Had the ability to teleport, but only if he knew his surroundings, otherwise he could end up in a wall or something. I think his night self would kind of act out? Like do stuff he didn't really approve of? Maybe acting out his subconscious desires or something? |

I hear ya , is this one of those myths ? Is It really that a 32mm carb will not actually pull more fuel at top end out of a 125 main then a 24mm would be able to but will allow for more fuel to be used ? Meaning a 24mm carb will not be able to match the airflow of a 32mm thus the 24mm will need to be tuned in a way its not burning or using as much fuel? The 32 mm will be able to burn a higher quantity of fuel then the 24mm thus its said that the bigger carb pulls more fuel? Or does the bigger carb as it reaches the top end actually gain more suction then the 24mm at top end ?,possibly due to the engine running at a higher HP and much stronger ? I've never done any tests nor do I have the equipment to do the tests . when it comes to most experts they say the bigger carb pulls more fuel from the same jet used in a smaller carb . very good question I'm lost here but I'm going to guess that a smaller carb is going to have higher vacuum and will thus pull more fuel out of the same size jet. Obviously it cannot supply more air than the larger carb though. I believe we're trying to achieve a 14.7:1 stoichiometric mix. If you use a bigger carb, maybe you'll need a bigger jet? |

Saw the new one "Nightcrawler" couple days ago. Good movie, horrid endind. Cheap ticket times only for this one I think there was an Xmen or New Mutant character named Nightcrawler, who had the ability to leave his body and go around doing fun stuff, if I recall correctly. Now that would make a good movie. A movie about paparazzi or other slime, not so much. |

Scoot - have a few miles under the belt with the electric pump, so I thought you might be interested in feedback: Thanks, RCQ! That's good to know! I'll be keeping an eye on your setup for the next few months to see if you have any issues. Thanks for keeping us in the loop! |

I know, right? It's ridiculous. $200 worth of bumpy roads and potholes  Exactly. and strips of 1" tall reflectors, slippery white lines and manhole covers in every corner. |

This is a very interesting thread indeed! Have you had a chance to use the vacuum gauge on the road with a load? No, I haven't. Soon though.  |

They remind me she's a SCOOTER, not a MOTORCYCLE... or something... Little-bitty "Vespaesque" wheels rule on scooters! Again, just me... LOLOLOL!
Ride safe,

...and check the air flow out of the rear at idle with my Anemometer. CFMs up 2.5 from my test before doing any work. I then tested it at 4000 rpm and it was up almost 4 cfms!!!! I also tested the temp of the case 3 times after doing the same 20 min rides before and after the little mod and all three test showed a temp drop of more then 20 degrees... Nice R&D! I like how you backed up your work with measurements.  |

Ooo. 26 would've been awesome for me, better than the 31" seat my Piggy has. But I'd want big tires like my 16s, so that might've killed the deal for me. So pretty though. Honda does make some really seriously nice-looking bikes. >'Kat They really do. Until I found scooters I was going to get one of these:  Isn't that a sexy beast? and yes, these tiny scooter tires are embarrassing! |
