I'm not running the ct mani and 28mm yet.... Its ready to go on.... But without an aftermarket pipe- should I just leave the stock carb on for now?

I just built a 72cc engine and used a stock pipe.

It still goes 59mph.

28mm carb seems quite large for stock pipe, but would probably work if you're set on swapping.

I'd just keep the stock carb if it was my scoot since most the gains of the bigger carb won't be realized without a pipe to match (its best to tune/derestrict intake and exhaust together).

Instead of stressing about this right now why not just enjoy riding your scooter amd keep breaking in the bore until you get the money for a pipe? :coolcruise:

Before doing the long ride though, it would be smart to do some plug chops to make sure you have the right jetting.

Try using the search button towards the top. There has got to be tons of info on plug chops.
