    Hi all,i have a peugeot speedfight 2, it is all standard apart from the rollers. I dont expect it to be fast as it is standard but it does seem very slow especially when its cold. Sometimes setting off it will be quick and get up to speed, but most of the time it seems very boggy and as if something is slipping, possibly need new clutch shoes ? Also, its using a hell of a lot of petrol !
    Any help will me much appreciated !

    It might be your jet. Have a look at what size jet you got.

    Well take them out and weigh them and devide it by 6.... What exhaust you buying ? It could be your choke. Also check what jet you're running.

    Just been out on it this morning, i think it needs a new belt and clutch shoes as it feels as if something is slipping. Going up hill it just dies if u put more than quarter throttle, and its using ALOT of petrol but there is no leaks :( Iv took air filter off and give it a clean but no help

    Go for a 17.5mm and buy a carb adapter from Pedparts. Will run better. Find out what weight your rollers are. If they're too light they wont work properly.
