Stick with your 10mm wrist pin unless you need to replace your crankshaft for some reason. Jetting depends on alot of factors. Even differant types of BBK's will determine differant jetting. If you're just doing a BBK, I'd jump up to a 100 main and work your way down from there. The needle may have to be lowered (clip raised) to get the mid throttle right. Also, get a head with the big bore kit. Your compression would likely be too high with a 50cc head.

I bought my Morphous last fall for $2,050. Only had 4,500 miles on it and looks/runs like new. Just keep an eye on e-bay, good deals pop up all the time.

I'm thinking a 10 year old scoot, single cylinder, with 17,000 for $1,850 is a bit much. That's alot of miles for a single cylinder (yes, even for a nice Honda). I wouldn't pay over $1,500 (and it would have to run perfect and look good)

I just sold my hopped up 2001 Zuma for $800. I had nearly that much invested in performance parts, but I was satisfied with the sale (had 53 hours on the motor, alot for 53 hours at 10,000 rpm)

You may have to pull the jet's out and read the numbers on them. when replacing jets, larger number equals larger jet. The needle is a little backwards though, larger number equals larger jet, but also equals leaner mixture. To figure out my jetting, I had to pull the jets and take a look...

Did you install a larger main Jet? Did you move the clip down on the jet needle yet? I'd say, put the throttle back the way it was (throttle cable I presume), and start working with the jetting. If you have to run it with the choke on, you need bigger jets/richer mixture.

No, I'm too cheap to install a manual fuel valve on the reserve tank, it just acts as additional fuel capacity. It only works because the top of my oil injector is at the same height as the top of my gas tank. If the two were differant hieghts, a manual fuel valve would be needed (or you wouldn't be able to fill both up all the way, the fuel would find their own level between the two fuel cells and the lower one would spill over)...

I unplugged my oil line from the carb, capped off the nipple at the carb, installed a pneumatic "T" in line with my fuel line, drained the oil resevuar, plugged the (old) oil line into the fuel line "T", and am now using my old oil resevuar as an additional fuel resevuar (extending my range). I mix at a ratio of 32 parts gas to 1 part oil.
Good luck!
