    any ideas greatly appreciated, as it getting boring now. Few details... 05 zip 50cc q tre exhaust, standard air box with sports filter can't remember roller weights! Main jet 68 . when it's cold it's great nice and nippy straight into power, but then as it gets up to temp it revs cleanly but it's like waiting for the power band. When it's up to speed it's not noticeable. Anyway thanks for your time

    Up jet. Slightly lighter rollers may also be required.

    yes mate. before it was like i was going up the transmission to quick and waiting for the engine to catch with power. if i went lighter on rollers top speed was only 40 to 45 and was revving its nuts off. i couldnt tell you how much ive shimmed it! enough:):-D! !
