    Hoping to purchase a 21mm for my set-up, just wondering if anyone has had any good/bad experiances with this carb as I have heard they are not very good?

    Product number on scooter-centre is: BGM8531

    Thanks in advance.

    Also, it says:

    If there is already a PHBG carb fitted to your scooter than this one is a straight replacement.

    Is that saying if it is not a PHGB carb it is not a straight replacement?

    Sorry if this sounds dumb, just don't want to order the wrong thing.

    Thanks

    Ok spot on,

    Ok I have a Yamaha Slider (2000), will I be able to get a 125 manifold as there are no real bigger brother models (like a 125 a runner)?

    Also, I already have a manual choke on there, can I use that?

    Last question hopefully, on scooter centre there is two torque drives available, one with a diametre of 33mm the other one 34, am I right in saying that becuase of the age of my ped I will need the 34mm?

    Or am I best off measuring my current one?

    Thanks

    ok mate try get a manifold to fit 21-24mm carbs ?

    bigger inlet for the carb or it will be pointless

    and measure it mate or if you NO its 34 then go for it

    i dont no anything about sliders lol

    and manuel choke should be able to matey ;)

    I'm pretty sure this really is my last question lol, but the motorforce de-restricted manifold states that it fits any Del'orto carb up to 21mm, what are your thoughts on this fitting the BGM carb?

    Part no. MF15.16800 on Scooter Attack

    Cheers
