Hi, I've got an Aprillia Area 51 50cc scooter. I would guess it's been derestricted as it's got an Endy power exhaust on it, which looking at the ads for them comes with power rollers, so I assume that they have been fitted. It goes up to about 40 on the flat & 50 downhill, but I'm a big bloke... 6 ft 1" and knocking on 18 stone! Both top & bottom end of the engine have been rebuilt & are still being run in. It's running on the standard carb ... PHBN 12 which needs rebuilding (I think they are 17.5 mm?). Would I be better off performance wise rebuilding this & fitting with say a 84 main jet or going for a new 19 or 21 mm carb? Would it be worth fitting a performance reed block / reeds? Would I notice much difference if I plonked a 70cc top end on it?
It will be a 12mm carb. Fitting a bigger carb to a stock 50cc barrel will be pointless. A 70cc kit would be the best mod but honestly at your size it would make more sense to get a bike with more cc's.
