    Im new to scooter tuning , and wunderd if anyone out there could help me get the most out of my runner , my current setup is, pm 172 kit , high compression billing head skull cap blah blah blah , 20.5mm carb ,green clutch springs pm variator kit , technigas exhaust ( yes i know it belongs in the bin but i couldnt afford anything else )

    i just wanted to know what else can i do or undo to gain power ? im going to be ordering a carb soon so what would be better a 25mm or a 28mm ? without any mods to reeds and cases and stuff :D any help will be much appreciated ..... :yahoo:

    Unlucky mate, when you put the tecnigas pipe on did it make it much worse ?

    Technigas r shit, u should have got a 2nd hand pipe , around same price as brand new technigas. I would say get a 25mm carb if ur not gunna do anything else to it, also ull want an air filter with the bigger carb.
