    Very nice Dave, keep up the good work. The 24mm carb isn't popular for a set-up isit?

    it is very popular in europe a 24mm carb...

    im going to see how it goes with the 24 on, which will be slightly choked down for the set up,
    which should give good throttle response etc...

    then at a later date i will probably give a 28mm a go, see which i prefer :nerd:

    if i remember correctly, i beleive you have to use a little spacer when you use these v-force
    reed blocks on the 125/172/180 motors, as the end of the reed block fouls the crank...

    i read a forum post somewhere about someone who used the top of an old reed cage cut off as a spacer...

    im sure minor can confirm/verify if this is correct :D

    that was running the minarelli reedblock adapted for the piggy.. 50/125 have an identical reed area lengthwise but the 125's are wider (hence the backplates are a little wider) nop prob fitting a v force in ether
