haha- yeah thanks
so here is how my moped sits as is. Running met wheels front and back with pirelli sl26 tires 90/90-10. I am still having issues over bumps- completely cuts out cannot track it down. maybe my pilot jet is too big. 50 pilot and a/f screw only .5 turn out....i have shaken the absolute s*** out of every wire including cdi and coil

Looks very nice.
As for the bump thing, don't hit any bumps.

There is NO oil ring on a 2 stroke, it would defeat the purpose of having oil in the gas.

Thanks boss- my paint job up close is nothing to brag about- it definitely has a ton of flaws but from a far looks good!

Thanks, you are pretty far away from me. I just mainly ride around the neighborhood.

heck that is no fun Ben, that monster you built is for burning the pavement up

What are your speeds like on a flat surface? I saw your other post so you must still be having the bump problems. too bad you dont have spare parts to test, try cutting your fuel line like evilone suggested that way it is a slope from the petcock to the carb.

haha I can't tell I bury the needle every time I need a GPS- it is quick as * I have been maxing out around 330 F though at a 125 main jet, I think I could go down another 5 to 120 to really see whats up...

Got an Uni up4200 pod filter coming, need to get this thing running correctly this summer
Think uni + 50 pilot + 125 main jet is gonna be a winner
