i have done my own tires before, it was difficult but not that hard to do you will need the tire irons and blood, possibly a c-clamp or other improvised devices to do it and a compressor that puts out a lot of pressure to seal the bead, you could use one at a gas station that would be might be (likely not) plenty FIXED it for you pgs Don't want to discourage you much but they can stink depending on the type of tires. Also it isn't really hard necessarily but unless you had a bicycle with a CVT transmission and dual shocks it is not similar except for the round part and the fact that it has an axle... he only has ten inch rims shouldn't be that hard, i have done both ten and twelve inch rims and aside from removing the exhaust and unbolting the rim from the scooter maybe an hour each tire took me 10-15 minutes to break the bead and remove the tire from the rim, and putting the new one on took longer, the last bit was the hardest and sealing the bead with my friends compressor went fine the twelve inch rims were harder than the tens but definitely something that could be done i would recommend longer tire irons for more leverage getting the last of the tire on |

it looks like a 1E40QMB Minarelli clone engine very similar to the one i have on my keeway so parts should be easy to find

if you have a keeway from scooters plus it is a 17.5 carb, i went up a size on mine when i did the second bbk which was a airsal i went with a 19mm carb it was easier to get the jetting right

i did not have to change the crank on mine when i put the kit on, but it usually only hits around 9500-9700 rpms when i gun it to get to top end quick, but then drops to around 8800 even at top speed, i have had no problems with the crank at all, the fluttering is probably your reeds like you stated, if you do get a bbk i would change the reeds when you do it and go with carbon fiber ones

from what i have heard the cast iron kits are supposed to be more forgiving, but i have had no problems with the aluminum one i got, i did do away with the oil injection on mine and just switched to premix not much of a hassle and don't have to worry about the oil pump failing i usually keep some oil on the scooter in case i do have to stop at a station and fill up, the kit i got recommended mixing 32:1, the good thing about doing the bbk is i am not running at full throttle all the time to keep up with traffic and climbing hills is so much easier
