[replyingto=dude]dude[/replyingto]Diaphragm is intact..sealing well and working as slide goes all the way up when engine is revved. About 1/2 throttle it is all the way up. Cable is adjusted properly and gives throttle full range of travel. Tx for the input.
@ Rob (scootnwinn) As always you are very insightful. Been a horrible week. Got this new scoot and can't get it to run right. Grew up on a farm and started working on smal to large engines at about 8 years old. So at 50...that comes to 42 years. Not to brag..but it is rare that an engine defeats me...and this one has. Add that to I rarely get comments on my posts..gets frustrating. Then a Tornado eats up my lil town like it was made outta Balsa wood..soo no electric for just over 4 days = no water...can't cook...no shower or bath..gotta use the woods a toilet since there is no water...and lots more. But it gets better..my Dr appointment was the day of the storm...so the office was closed. It was for a refill on my seizure meds..and now been 6 days without it..therefore about 2 seizures per day since then. That takes a lot out of you..believe me...exhausts your entire body and puts you in a state of depression. Can't drive for 6 months without one...which will be when I get my med refill. Even riding a scooter during that time is illegal...but I do as it is not a 4,000lb car where I risk the safety of others...it is a 200lb scoot and I risk my safety. Of all the laws the Police do enforce....they allow me to ride the scoot....just no car. Sure I could ride a bicycle or walk..but it is a pride thing to be denied the privilege to ride my scoot...and it eats away at you...making you feel alienated from the 'Normal' people. Anyway..enough about that.
About the scoot...this is THE most anemic 50mm one I have ever ridden. He did mention something about a performance cam..but says he thinks he took it out. As you know not all cams labeled 'Performance' are for good top end like the A9 is. The A11 and A12 are low end torque cams..and since dealers never list what grind they are...you never know what you are getting since even the low end torque cams are labeled as 'Performance' cams. Therefore the only way I will know is to drop in a stock cam and see how it performs..then go from there. When folks here are running 9-11 gram weights in their 50mm scoots and I gotta run 5 gram ones just to reach 40mph...sumpin is up. Even then the rpms are barely up..and we all know a 50mm BBK with 5 grams should be WAY to light to the point the engine is screaming away. But nope...5 grams is still 5,500 rpms. Btw I opened the tranny last night and it has the stock longcase GY6 50 gearing of 11.05:1 Therefore it is not under geared keeping the speed down...not is it over geared to the point it puts a load on the engine..keeping speed down. So I am confused big time.

Ok..I shouldn't laugh...cause sadly it is true....yup... 
main jet. Problem is when riding it..it only winds to about 5,500 rpm so it's not reaching top speed potential. However..on the stand it will rev to about 5,500...bog and pause a second or 2...they quickly zoom up to redline. I think that under a load the mid range bog keeps it from going higher..as the load won't allow it to rev higher. It has 7 gram weights...I have gone down as low as 5 gram to see if that would help it rev higher and not have that mid range bog. Nope..did no good..same rpm...just lower top speed. I tried a #
jet..but it was slobbering rich with the stock airbox on and off even. Wondering if it is a needle position issue? Needle is non adjustable..but can be raised with #4 washers...just can't be lowered due to the darn one piece needle design. Any input on what causes this mid range bog would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Glenn...
