either buy or make a new one, don't think patching will work.. good find.

i just patched it and put a layer of gasket sealer over it. it definitely seals now. the only problem is i need to adjust my carb because it is adjusted to when i had the leak. does anyone know the stock settings?

download the service manual here. http://www.hondaspree.net/other/SA50_88-02_service.pdf

1 7/8 turns is the starting point. read the adj. procedure in the manual on how to fine tune for your engine.

ok so i downloaded the manual, and i did exactly what it said 1 7/8 out. i moved the screw from all the way lean to all the way rich and it still kept bogging out. i dont know what to do i tried every adjustment possible

did you put a new spark plug in? Although that may not be the culprit, since you were overly lean, not rich

ill be getting one today actually. do you think it might be the fix to the problem?

a thorough carb cleaning might be in order. use the wikispreedia under technical. follow the carb cleaning guide and check out the picture tutorial. if theres a lot of scale & or varnish, get a carb cleaning bucket kit from auto parts store and soak the carb. overnight. spray cleaners don't always do it,

thats exactly what i was thinking to do. i clean the carb monthly just for the * of it cuz it makes me fell better about my performance, but i think youre right on the overnight soak

ok i just put the carburetor on. its been soaking since 12 noon. its 1030 pm right now. i tried tuning it, and theres still no difference, it just bogs. should i buy a set of different main jets to test and see what works best with my engine?

my dilemma is that im spending 40 bucks, and my scooter will get me from point a to point b. when i get the money i need to get the corsa kit and oko carb at the same time so that i can still ride it. after that im gonna save for a variator and clutch with a 1500-2000 rpm spring. its my daily driver cuz im 15 and cant drive a car but i need the bike to work

out of curiosity, have you done a compression test?

im going to be doing that later i know it should be around 114-117 psi (7.0:1) correct?

it turns out that i dont have a compression tester, but i can get one at harbor freight for like 15 bucks, nbd. im probably not going to even attept to start the engine for a couple days, until my jets and rollers that i ordered get here. im going to get my engine re-ported and polished at the local shop: macomb powersports, and i got the new plug, which is a BPR6HSA. the p means protruded tip, and the guy that sold it to me said it was better for the race applications im putting on. i will keep you guys posted on this fix/build as it comes along.. thanks for your guys input and help.
