    Hi I need help with my piaggio zip 2t I have a Malosi 70cc bore kit on it but the problem is my bike won’t idle I have fiddled with the air and fuel screws which does not make a difference I have also tried changing the idle jet and cleaning the main jet which also doesn’t change a thing and my bike still doesn’t idle and struggles to start every time I ride it it’s 50/50 chance of it siezing on me as I can’t tell if the air and fuel screws are correct and the bike doesn’t idle no matter what. I have also tried changing my choke and cleaning the carb which yet again does not change anything

    Can Somone please help me as this is one of my only ways of getting to college and back

    Has it ever run correctly since you have had the 70 kit fitted and what size main jet have you got?

    Crank seals?
    Intake leak?
    Dead reeds?

    But a bike will idle even if the main jet is completely missing...

    What state is the spark plug in? It must be running really rich with a 105 main jet
