I'm not an expert but definitely the jet. I've gone lighter on the rollers to give me better acceleration. They wear out so might be worth just...
There's a jetting guide on the forum somewhere. You may need a different size jet if you're changing the exhaust.
Hi mate. Might be worth popping a new jet in. Check the spark plug gap too. I used to live in Barnard Castle. Not that far from you.
Hi. Enjoy the forum!
I've fitted the 7.5 rollers now. Acceleration is a bit better than before but I lost about 5 mph on the top speed. I've upped the jet to an 80 and...
I use a variator locking tool which costs about 10 pounds. Lighter rollers will give better acceleration up hills than heavy rollers.
Changing the rollers made a big difference. Struggled to get her over 30 mph but now she does 50 mph! Cheap fix.
I just changed my rollers and you would not believe the flat spots on them! They were almost half worn away! I'm surprised she accelerated at all.
Technically I've never come off a bike as I held onto it as I slid down the road. Tore the back pocket off my jeans and bent my centre stand. Got...
Get that visor down!
Does it hesitate every time you stop then set off again or is it just the first time when you leave the house?
I'll take your word for it with the boost bottle coz I've no clue about them. But my ashtray self-empties at 5 mph. Quite ingenious.
Just want to get it running right first. Only paid 100 quid for it so it's not exactly gonna win any shows and I'm not into fancy bits. Probably...
I know I'm definitely heading in the right direction. Couldn't get it over 30 the other day. I'll change the rollers first then deal with the...
Cheers for that. I'll give the 7.5 a try and see what happens. Did you upjet yours for the exhaust? Standard on mine is 72 and got a 74 in at the...
It's a brand new carb. Got a Leo Vince fitted. I've got 7.5 rollers which I can try for now.
Fitted a new variator with 8.5 gram rollers and set the carb to 1.25 turns out as recommended for initial setup. Just taken her for a test run....
I've got a plain white MDS. Being an old fart I've gone for the 'more chance of being seen' look. Also, I can pretend I'm the Stig.
Been having problems with the electric start recently. Was taking ages to start. Would start off with a slow whirring, gradually getting faster...
I'm having the same issues with my Speedfight too. If I take the air filter off it goes like stink but if I upjet it, it runs like a sick...
