72cc Corsa setup, help with carb / intake setup.

Post by Meejacob »

Hey guys so I just recently purchased a sym dd50 with the following specs.
Specs:
72cc Corsa
V8 exhaust
Koso temp gauge
7:8:1 gears
Blue clutch spring
Stock carb / Intake

I was wondering what the best carb size would be for quick acceraltion / street use. It'll mostly be an around town bike but I do have one long 20-30 min stretch that is around 35-50 mph so I'd like to keep temps down as much as possible. Would getting a Big Black mani make much of a difference from a regular ct mani on a 72cc?

Within the next 2 weeks, I'll be getting it ported and buying a new carb / intake. So my setup would look something like this when done.

72cc Corsa (Ported and Matched)
V8 Exhaust
Big Black Mani or CT Mani
19-28mm Carb
Koso temp gauge
New clutch spring
New rollers
Kevlar belt

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Generally speaking, a smaller carb is going to provide more low end power, while a larger carb is going to provide better wot performance and top end power.
