just being stupid

just inserted the by starter a little too hard, the little black plastic piece that holds the needle on snapped..........$60.00 there has to be a cheaper way. still looking for a used one

got the new bystarter today. bike runs great!!! well for 50cc's anyway....

started tuning carb.. started at 1 7/8 out...but it was always cutting out on top end just dying for fuel so here is what i did

air screw out about 1/2 turn, then idle set so rear wheel doesnt roll.....that seems to be about right... pretty good low end, not so good midrange, and about 28 mph......ANY SUGGESTIONS???

i live in denver metro area about 5800 ft elevation

is there anyway to get more take off speed?, i kind of use the flinstone method of starting out from dead stop....use my feet for the first 5 mph

BY THE WAY
none of this work would have been possible with out the help of this FORUM............THANKS TO EVERYBODY!!

thanks

well u could reverse the pully mod by putting washers in the front pulley to run a lower gear ratio but u will loose some on top end

I have shortend my coil wire and midrange is alot better.... you could also gte stiffer clutch springs which i heard helps out alot but i have not foun any yet....... hope this helps

Check your main jet, stock is either a #65 or 68. Bump up a few sizes (65 -> 68 or 68 -> 70.) You are probably running a bit lean. Also check the needle setting in the slide, should be set to stock.
