Got 5g in at the moment would you go heavier or lighter? Also got 2 polini prelod springs for the clutch plate
***UPDATE*** After some work over the weekend i have now managed to hit 60mph with the original exhaust fitter (still with restricted pipe) ehich is a good thing. Today taking the bike on a run in the countryside all seems fine on full revs (9k ish) then for some reason loss of power after around 1-2min only manage to get power back by decelerating then accelerating again and it seems to carry on like that un till i pulled over for a minute or two then seems fine for 1-2min again. I was thinking this could be lack of fuel? but thought best to ask you guys.
Quite right in your assessment. The carbs running out of fuel at that speed. I'm assuming you still have the standard carb on it?
Actually, the 17.5 should be ok. Maybe a little float adjustment is required, could be too low shutting off the supply early.
There should be a metal tab on the float where the needle attaches. Bend it carefully to raise the float height. That means that more fuel will be in the float bowl before the float needle shuts off the supply.
Thats awkward then. You could try lookng for an alternative float first but might be hard to find, try NRP carbs they might have one, but I suppose ultimately a carb upgrade will be needed. However, saying that, 60mph (indicated) on a 70cc runner is perfectly acceptable, in fact it would make some owners jealous.
