Sorry, should have said that - I've swapped the old one back in but it still does the same thing.

Hey y'all, I recently had an 83cc bbk installed on my bike, upjetted to  and hooked up an orange racing cdi and ignition coil. Everything has been running well and I have been super-pleased with my upgrade until I noticed that around 42mph (on the speedometer) near full throttle the bike will "miss" continuing propulsion for appox .5 sec. This causes the scooter to pitch forward a bit (as if I had completely released the throttle and then re-revved it) then resume at the throttle level I am using. Not really sure why it is doing this, especially with the new unrestricted cdi, but it is a bit unnerving to have that happen at that speed and I now am keeping it under that. Any ideas as to why this could be happening? thanks. |

Hey-o. I bought a stock chinese scooter in the fall. It maxed out around 30mph on flat land, but living in the rolling city of Baltimore, that wasn't enough for hills or general traffic. I bought a $65 "100cc" bbk (which was bbsh-t, but definitely bigger). I also upjetted ( ) for $5 on ebay. Then I bought a $20 open air filter. I had the kit and upjet done professionally for $120 and slapped the new filter on myself. Now the bike is much faster (40mph flat with MUCH better acceleration and 35 uphill). All in all, it cost me $210, but the performance was worth it, especially given the savings on insurance and gas that a car holds. Thus, I'd recommend just springing for a bbk - doing it yourself if you are adept and want to save money - because the results are so pronounced and greatly expand the places I can comfortably drive the girl. |

Thanks, will do.
One last question: I shouldn't mess with the idle jet, right?

Hi all, long time reader, first time writer. Bought a 50cc taotao last fall and road it well into the winter. Now, I am looking to ramp it up a bit. I am going to purchase a "100cc" bbk, but read in other threads that the vendor I am going to buy it from provides an undersized main jet. I also have purchased a uni flow air filter, performance coil and unrestricted cdi (even though that was probably unnecessary). So, I was hoping to know what size main jet should I buy - ,  or 105. Thanks a lot. |
