Thanks for in info! It does help. However as I went into the gauge to wire it up, and found it is a mechanical gauge. wires are only for the various lights in the gauge. I am now on the hunt for a digital gauge/one i can mount into the old 73 honda gauge set.
Thanks for all the help guys.

Thanks guys, I'll try and get some better pictures up of all the weird mounting, took it for a spin today and did quite well! Rode quite smooth around 50 mph Most of the day. I am having a issue with the RPM gauge, where would I hook up a electronic RPM? I assume around the cdi? I don't really want to go tapping around and blow the module.  ? if anyone knows what wires I can tap into to get a RPM signal? Thanks! |

Alright guys, just wanted to give you guys a update-issue was a torn intake boot. the bigger carb actually caused a upward pull on the intake boot, which ripped it, im awaiting a larger intake manifold and as of now wrapped it with electrical tape. Anyway, after dialing everything in I wanted to show you what I actually did to the scoot! I used the front end of a 73 honda cb350 and modified the shocks to make them fit, also used the gauges, lights, seat, fenders, and fuel tank off it. front end required a bit of welding, however most other things were small modifications. Rewired all the gauges and lights. Was a bit of work, but I do feel its a one of a kind! Thanks for the help you guys gave in engine diag! (i have yet to mount the front fender, and touching up a bit of wiring!)   Thanks again for the help guys, I'm sure I'll be back for some more help! |

Sorry for the late reply guys, was away for the new year. The new engine is totally stock, bought new. I am unsure of the old engine, i did disassemble to try and find out what the issue was with it but never reassembled. everything looked stock to me internally. Ok now correct pictures? Exhaust, Intake  Weird throttle spacer, also you can see the auto choke removal  After the engine warms up it seems to run decently actually, I ran it a bit more before i found a fuel leak on the tank. It does have some misfire at certain throttles. I couldn't check the plug due to the fuel leak, i didn't get a lot of run time before it started smelling like fuel. it idles fine, and seems good at full throttle, areas in the middle it seems to stutter. I'll fix the tank hopefully sometime this week and will give more info if I find anything more out. |

Hello everyone, So I received a non running 150cc gy6 engine off a trade and had to put a new engine in it, as well as a bunch of wiring issues. engine now idles great, and has some throttle response. However the guy i recieved it off of did some weird things, and I'm afraid these may of caused the other engine to fail. I was hoping you could shed some light on some of this stuff, also give me some idea of what jets to use. There is a performance exhaust, intake filter, larger carb (which i believe is a 30-34mm?) its rather huge, some weird intake spacer, and the auto choke has been removed. I live in Charleston, SC, so its somewhat warm/hot, and roughly at sea level. The carb at the moment has a 130 main jet. I'm not worried about the choke, as it seems to start just fine at a decently cold night here. Ill add pictures below so you can kinda see what I'm talking about - mind you everything is kinda hanging out due to just having the engine put back in. Exhaust/Intake filter  weird intake space/you can see the auto choke removed.  |
