    70cc italkit bore kit
    21mm dellorto race carb

    race cdi
    open airfilter
    5.5gr polini rollers
    88 main jet iv tried 89 jet and 92 but

    just bogs down after a lil bit of throttle

    Have you checked the idle screw mate ? There is a guide in the guides section under carburettors if you need moro info.

    Get rid of the airfilter, fit a standard airbox and start jetting from there.

    it wont need upjetting with a carb that big on it, probably need down jetting mate.. or air/fuel mixture

    Your jetting is way off, ditch the 21mm carb, your better off with a 17.5mm or 19mm.

    Sorry but how many of you have ran a 21mm carb ? There is nothing wrong with them. Does it bog on full throttle or little ammount ? can it pull away have you tried a plug chop ?

    i'm up to 110 main jet, warm days it sets of fine but cuts out after 3 minutes,on colder days it starts up but bog down after half throttle, adrenalinpedstops think i have an air leak, so iv order a new head gasket set. see what happens when i fit them.

    it was fine right up till i went out on a nice hot day up on moors having a nice ride then it cut out started back up after half hour, i eventually got it home after cutting out every 5 mins, ever since then i just can't get it to go perfect, i must of burnt my gaskets out.

    Does it rev up on its own on idle?
