Got some money 'spare' and ive got a couple of mods in mind, variator or bigger carb???? Help me people!!!! cratch:
There's nowt wrong with the stock vari's on the piaggio bikes. The Aerox one's on the other hand are shit. How much is a few quid Jim?
yeah i know they are quite good, but i wouldnt say to get a larger carb on a stock bike tbh, but everyone will have ther own opinions on what to buy lol
a few quid is £70 max... The standard carb is 12mm i believe i have already up jetted as ive put on a TNT cone air filter, ive stuck some lighter rollers in the variator already and ive put in some red mallossi clutch springs. its running a streetfighter exhaust as well, it goes ok, it pulls nicely up to 30/35 ish and will reach 50. However up hills it dies off so im not sure which route to go with the next mod, hence the question... cratch:
Loose the air filter... Pointless on a 50cc barrel.... I'd go for bigger carb, Good for if you decide to get a 70's in future too.
Its a bit late to loose the filter as the standard airbox is history, i am aiming at a 70 kit but cant afford it at the mo. What size carb should i go for then, a 17.5 or a 19? will a 19 not be just to big for a 50 so a 17.5mm would be the compromise? If i do go for a carb then is there a jet range i should aim at? Currently running an 82 as it had a 70 in it standard...?
Better than running a open filter on a fiftey lol. 17.5mm is good for polini sports kits for future reference
shh boy na im putting the air box back on when im home, didnt realise they were such a bad thing to have on a fifty personally but anyway, the box is going back on okay! yeah 17.5mm is plenty fine, but you really dont need to run any larger on a stock bike...
Well from what i've been told on here Etc have told me, there almost impossible to setup use stupid amounts of fuel and do fuck all sept make a deeper noise lol. And yep ran a Leo-vinceTT Polini Sport and Dellorto 17.5 was brilliant lol.
with all due respect jonny, everyone starts somewhere. i know its not supposed to be run on a 50. hence im changing it. but equally it doesnt use 'stupid amounts' more fuel, it uses a little bit more. and regardless of what people say, you dont need to and shouldnt run a 19mm plus carb on a 50cc barrel
Well mine drank a lot more when I ran a open filter so I was going on that. My apologies. And nope, No point in it really. Unless you're upgrading to a 70/mid race then might aswell wack it on till then lol. But anyway yeah lol 17.5 is best for standard peds
ok so ill save the splosh up for a bit longer then and save for a 70 kit then... and a 17.5 carb as well... Thanks for the heckling :glare: and the ideas :grin: ...
haha anytime buddy yeah they will give you the best gains. variator would be good too when you get enough money, but as far as i know the zips stock does its job fine
Ok so the polini sport cast iron kit for £90 and a PHVA 17mm carb for £40. OSund like a worthwhile spend??
definitely the 70 kit, will be reliable with the 2 rings. go for one with 1 if your looking for power over reliability, but for 90 quid thats a good deal. what size carb have you got atm?
reliability is going to be key so thats why i went for the 2 ring set up. The stock carb is 12mm hock:
