It'll b interesting to see the results of the "derestricted" silencer.

By the way, where was the black pipe from - was that the one listed on eBay?

Thats assuming it doesn't break the jug.

I think that your "restrictions" aren't really restrictions. The fiber is just packing that is in almost any pipe, its what dulls the sound. Some pipes need to be re-packed after so much use. The other thing just looks like a spark arrestor, which is required on must vehicles.

T-T-T-Timmy and the Jets

Post by Wheelman-111 »

Greetings:

Here is a source for jets.

http://www.motorcyclecarbs.com/Keihin_A ... F5_C79.cfm

I have not personally verified that they fit in the Express/Pal/Gyro/Spree/Aero/Vision/Elite/Dio carburetors. If anyone can tell me the size of the Polini Contesta Kit main jet, I will order a couple in larger sizes to test.

This site should be made Forum-accessible for anyone tuning a scoot.
