and if it has the stock carb.. i'd probably go with a b9hs i would buy a bigger carb though, the pilot jet in your stock carb is migty small for that cylinder and you may risk seizure when you let off the throttle after a long wot. run!

How does your oil pump run to your ct mani? did you tap a second hole?

I wouldn't dare run the stock oil pump on my 72cc polini. :nervous:

It can only mix the oil and gas at about 70:1

The idle should be set so that the tire does not spin while on the centerstand.

Everyone has their own idea on oil ratios and if it works great!
I run 42.5:1
Why 42.5:1? Because I am lazy and thats 3 oz per gallon. Run it in everything from my weed wacker to my drag scooters and never had a lube related failure.. not saying I never wrecked anything but that always came down to operator error :oops:
