That wacky Thomas the Tank Engine won't mess with the Jet Engine again anytime soon. You must have some young kids, 'Jamz! Wheel-Boy is all into Thomas too.
Welcome, Randy. Hope the Jopliin Tornado didn't mess up your neck o' the woods too badly. Congrats on the '94. It's a Good model with which to start. We're full of information around here. Full o' somethin', anyway...

Thanks for the welcome party gents, I'm about 4 hours from Joplin the weather was sooo crazy here yesterday.
Anywho, I'll post pics of the scooter when I get home. I just picked it up yesterday it needs a little work but it's going to be fun. They put a filter similar to a UNI filter on it and left the carb alone so she is running weird.
I'm very interested in doing some mods to this thing to get it in a comfortable 50ish mph cruising speed. Ive looked at the polini bbk and a few other items but if anyone has the best way for me to reach my goal I'd be all ears

78cc nick bore with 8.4 gears will make you very happy and give you more then your looking for for about 300 bucks (bore, carb kit, and gears)

Greetings:
Fast-Plastic has given very good advice, if you axt me. DayWOT's Nikasil 49mm/78cc is among the most durable, if not highest-performing bore kits I've tried. Believe me if it was easy to destroy, I would have done it!
I had mine going about 60MPH with 8.4s, which is about as tall as that setup should go. Mine had a pipe, a CT manifold and a series of different carbs - all about the same performance. An
Arreche-for-Honda carb in the 19 or 21mm size can be bolted straight up to the stock manifold. (The link is for example only. Scooter-Center.com once had them cheaper in Germany, but I couldn't find one today. Google "Amal Arreche Vision". You might want to add the 26mm V8 Pipe from JiangWayne to your list to reach 60 Top, easy 50-55 cruise. Still under $400 for the carb, pipe, bore kit, and gears. Reliablility should be as good as stock.

You dont need CDI box and your carb is way to big for a d.d. if you want to run that bbk go for it but you will need to switch your gears out......

Thanks for the help man, Sounds like I really need to look into gears.. any specific brand I should look into?
Seperate question-- The previous owner put a foam filter on it similar to a UNI Filter and now it seems like its getting too much air and it cuts out pretty bad. Jet the carb up? What size jet should I be running I believe everything else is all factory

No specific brand, half of them probably come out of the same factory in Taiwan and then just get a different brand at distribution. 9.8:1 will give you bullet proof 45mph and the best acceleration.
Try an 88 or 90 main jet and check your plug from there.

9.8 gears are too short

9.1 or 8.4 gear would be better
9.8's would make your engine rev too high
I would get the prodigy variator instead of the Keli. I comes with a ramp plate and more rollers for the same amount of $$
Get your gears from the same seller and save on shipping too.

Thanks for the insight... Unfortunately, I'm about 750 miles from my scooter for a week as my Grandmother passed away in Alabama. I really wish I had my scooter down here so I could tear up some of these beautiful backroads
