I have a 1994 SA50SR - will the SA50 bystarter listed here not work on my scooter? Do they actually have different carbs or what is the deal?
They are actually offering 2 kinds selling - this one works on up to a 2000 SA50

and this one up to a 1993

Probably a clogged idle jet, a properly running engine WILL NOT run right with an unplugged bystarter. anything SA50 will fit an SR, the stuff afterwor ds designates trans restriction and exhaust pipe.

thats kinda what I thought they would have to have differnent carbs or something for them not to be interchangable.
The seller said it wouldn't fit - maybe he just doesn't know.

I actually saw that and was considering it. Do you think that thing is reasonable quality?
First I'm gonna buy a battery from wal-mart and do the bystarter function test - if it is not working right I might just try the new bystarter and not an entire new carb.

Would one of these carbs fit a 1986 NQ50? I am tired of messing around with mine. I have cleaned and cleaned and adjusted and adjusted till I am blue in the face. The only way I can get it to run is to tape off one of the 2 intake holes on the air cleaner. Thanks Jim

Is the idle jet clear(should flow pin * of light)? Is the main jet nice n clean? Is the brass guy hiding under the main jet clean(push it out with a pencil thorough the throttle hole)?

Yep,did all of that at least twice to make sure that it was clean and tight.

Beats me... I plan on opening it up before installing it to check it out. I have an '88 Elite with a botched up carb that I plan to replace with this one.
