    Hi guys,

    im having a bit of an issue with my ajs modena, ill give you some history.

    first i managed to blow the piston rings resulting in me buying a new piston and barrel opted for the 150 kit.

    then the crankshaft shattered so i ended up getting a new engine.

    the engine that is now fitted is a gy6 170cc, the problem that im having is that when i get to 20mph it starts to bog down if i let off the accelerator i can get to 40mph gradually but then it bogs down and will not go any more.

    i have done the air / fuel mixture, put bigger jets in the carb, and had a cone filter fitted. none of these things have helped. the carb im using is the standard ajs factory carb which is a 150cc should i get a larger carb? i have seen this

    could my cdi be not liking the engine? im now at a loss of what to do ... please help.

    A bigger main jet and all the std airbox and it should work fine.
