100cc kit, Ported and polished to the max A9 cam 69mm valves Stiffer springs Exhaust and pwk 21 flat slide High speed variator 1500 rpm clutch springs 4.5g weights. I can get 55 if I done final drive probably get 60. Nice video, I do highly recommend an aftermarket carb not a gy6 one just because there so restrictive even if its a larger diameter that stock. It does affect the smoothness of acceleration though.
So I have a 50mm currently and that’s @81cc . 52mm is the biggest I was able to find @88cc but I’m on the hunt for a 54mm@95cc or 56mm@102cc cylinder and piston
Other ways to make them faster is, one, you can mill of the head 10, 20, 30 thousands or more. This makes more compression and more power and speed. Two, you can use a larger carburetor meant for a 100, 125, 150, or even a 250 cc motor. It won't idle very well and idle very high but the speed gains are exponential.
@@klae8171 correct . many cars have the cyl headskimmed and get more compression. more compression is for low down torque not higher rpm.. a skimmed head will pull away a bit faster
I got that same carb a while back because my old one was clogged or something but I can barely reach 35 on flat ground and never exceed much past 40 going downhill. Same moped too but a lot more worn and abused.
Did you remove the restricter by the belt in the transmission? That stalls the rpm’s from getting the scooter to a higher speed. You can get 32mph to 40 - 45 mph just removing it
@@camomaster6316 We actually have one for the 150 coming in the mail. Its a bit more expensive.. but its a real performance carb. not this cheap knock off style from amazon. we will have a video on it as soon as it arrives so stay tuned.
I just ordered this exact same carb after seeing this video with the link you posted in comments. It was about $37.00 but, wish you could’ve showed us how all you did the de-restrictions. Also because simple changes can be major different results to. Subscribed to your channel.
might require you to watch a few videos to get comfy with changing jets but look into tuning your slow jets and main jets, basically just buy a jet kit and you have to switch them and try them individually, try going high see if your scooter can take it, main jet is for when the carburetor is open throttle and slow jet is for idling/low rpm throttle@@joaovictorlazarin6178
Someone worked on my brother's Yamaha Razz a few years ago. It took forever to get that thing up to 30 mph. but it topped out at 50 mph. That Razz felt like a death trap. I think you could probably change the gear ratio with some new sprockets. But then you'll either be slow getting up to speed, or fast getting up to speed with no top end to speak of. Not sure what the best gear ratio would be, but that carb. really boosted the one in this video.
@@ohtych1004 After hooking it up, I actually had more problems getting it to run compared to the original so I ended up just switching the hose. Made it slower too. Unfortunately, I can not try to fix it or modify it again because it got stolen.
I'm planning on removing my cvt restrictor and buying this carburetor and then hopefully I'll be able to comfortably keep up with traffic great video by the way
Just went and got a moped the other day for fishing adventures and you guys have really inspired me to make it better it’s a lot of fun love the vid really helped me find a good way to go faster I already derestricted it not sure what else other then my buddy said a cdi box but idk where it’s at
Hey that's awesome to hear! We tested some CDI boxes and honestly.. we wouldn't suggest them right away. We would say do some clutch weights! Maybe some other CVT stuff. That is where we have seen most of the performance on our scooters so far.
I also have a TaoTao 50cc before I bought the higher performance Carb the scooter would do like 35-40 mph max, after I installed the carb it now does 45-50 mph max, so there is an improvement. I don't know how this guy got 80 mph out of a 50cc, you may want to check the speedometer.
It isnt, the outside reading is kilometers/hr the inside one is mph. if you do the math 80 kmh comes to about 50 mph so it checks out. still the spedo might be a little over confident either way lol
@@jackiechandler5791 Yes, I finally figured that out a couple of months ago, I was doing deliveries and I was taking a break and I looked closely at the speedometer, yes the yellow numbers are MPH, the white numbers are KPH
How long does it take to hit 50? Is there a lag upon takeoff? I have a 70cc NCY kit on my Roughhouse but it lags horribly on takeoff. I have to rev a few times to "wake it up" before it finally starts accelerating. Top speed is one thing, but really I'd be happy just to go 40 as long as the acceleration from zero is at least decent. It's also way too loud for its disappointing lack of performance.
I bought a Bintelli Scorch. This was already installed on it and its so fun to ride around. For the people asking wILL tHiS wOrK oN mY sPEcIFiC bRaND if its a Chinese imported scooter they're all coming from the same factory where they put stupid fancy names on it like "Bintelli" or whatever you're about to ask. Just look at the damn engine, its just like working on vehicles that have the same engines across multiple models. It's no different
I have a tao tao 50 with a big block kit installed, it ran great, 40-45 mph max, until one day I heard a noise while idling at a stop light the sound of the engine sputtered a bit but it kept on running. The next day when I went to start it, it wouldn't start, it would just crank and crank and nothing. It's been a year since that and I've learned that repairing this scooter is far different from a car. It took me a full year to finally get it started again...and still it needs tuning. Single cylinder Scooters are far less forgiving than multi cylinder engines, everything has to be within tolerances to run
Now go look at the variator and see if it has the spacer at the front. if yes then take it out and get more top speed, about another 5 to 8 mph top end..
I just wish I could get mine started! I'm in Hudson Florida and there's absolutely nobody to call to give me any advice. I replaced everything I can reach: carburetor, CDI box, spark plug, air filter, fresh gasoline,... I wish I knew what else to do it cranks like it wants to start but it won't turn over: (I'm a disabled vet and I need it to get to the store if you have any advice I sure will take it.
Check for spark. Sounds like you're probably getting fuel and air. If you got an aftermarket cdi box or a "performance" one it might not work. That's where I would start good luck!!
Also look for the vaccuums going up to the valve between the fuel filter and im guessing a purge valve... Mine was all cracked.... Waiting for my key kit tomorrow.... Never ran mine...a customer gave it to me... But tomorrow will be a new day! Lol
@@staticGenerator4You thanks! We will do that when the snow melts and we can play with the scooters again. Stay tuned, also if you want to see certain things let us know and we will try to make it happen
I had a hammerhead jet 50 and I got it for free. So I got the carb cleaned and new battery and it cruised at 50mph and Idk what was done to it but it was nice
I'm not so mechanical savvy. Can you do a in depth video step by step to set this up? I have the exact same scooter lol.. and it's all I have right now. Could really use the boost!
That carb is an 18mm and is by no means a performance carb. You can tell by the radiator drain plug. Also it does not have an acceleration pump. You string the throttle cable through there. Plus if you wanna make your bike run faster, and are mechanically inclined, you should be looking at the transmission not the carburetor first especially given there's not bbk on it. You'll need to get 1000rpm springs on your rear clutch, replace the variator with a performance variator and swap the rollers for 5grams or 7gram rollers, then get a blue unregulated racing CDI and put back on your box filter and remove the cone filter, unless you plan on buying a big bore kit, in which case you're also gonna want to get an aftermarket exhaust pipe, orange performance ignition coils, and better spark plugs with three prongs. That and finally look at replacing the carb with a 20mm and upping the jet size, and popping a 48mm cone filter on it. And if your bike can fit it under it's seat get a nibbi filter extension. Increases airflow allowing more power to the engine. Plus a cooling fan scoop would help as well. But seriously bro, this video just makes me wanna lose it. If you're gonna be doing this type of work at least know a hundred percent what you're doing.
Sorry you feel upset. We all have to start somewhere tho. We make videos and learn along the way. We have learned a lot since making this video and you are right. We appreciate the knowledge you shared here. Thanks.
@@adrianscoggin7212 yeah. We literally just bought the scooters before making this video and have never worked on them before. We 100% are noobs and had no idea the video would do this well. It kind of forced us to learn more. We are looking into doing more in depth scooter stuff this summer so hopefully we can get some more experience.
@@throttle_therapy Go for it. It's a good thing to learn. Plus you could if you learn enough start a business out of it. And it's decent money, even if you work as a solo mechanic. Not to mention fun. And you seemingly are mechanically inclined, so you will definitely pick up quick. I wish you the best. And sorry if I came off rude, hope you'll forgive me.
@ Adrian Scoggin If I have got a regular factory GY6 50cc Scooter can I use the 20mm Carb you suggest..? Along with upgrading CVT , & De-Restricted CDI... & finally , can I keep my stock Air Box & Exhaust...???
It’s the same exact one that came with the gy6. I replaced the carb with the same exact one and the pod filter it came with. Literally no difference lol Edit: I’m an idiot and didn’t air my tires.. 11 psi back to 38-40ish. Yes now I can feel the extra power. It absolutely moves way harder now.
Unfortunately, this no longer works. I have the same scooter and it maxes at about 40 before and after the carb change. Came here looking for other ideas. Glad that you had the good luck. I am thinking my problem is all the emissions crap on a motor smaller then my lawnmower has. What did you do to get rid of that? is it just welding a plate over the port? Or can I just bolt a piece of metal over the port?
i bought a second hand piaggio zip 50 and i was surprised i could get top speeed 50mph out of it ! its totally stock but i think from what read on google is that the zip series is one of the fastest scooters available..

Hello, I have a problem, I have a Peugeot Speedfight 1 100cc that recently seized up/heat seized. It was not tuned. I then changed the cylinder, piston etc. It now starts up right away, but after a while it dies all of a sudden (as if you had turned off the key) and then I can start it right up again, this usually happens when I go over 60 km/h or uphill. When I changed the cylinder etc, I also cleaned everything thoroughly, such as the carburettor, intake, new air filter, new fuel filter (there was no fuel filter before) new spark plug. I also removed the oil pump and put a metalplate with a gasket over the hole instead, I now mix the oil directly into the gasoline. Some other info that might be important. - When I drive over 60 km/h, it starts to make a noise from the variator (CVT), it´s sounds quite a lot. - When it died, I tried to start it again while it was rolling and then it started right away, but it made a noise from the variator, like something "let go" that had been seized up, like a rubber sound, maybe from the belt. - The variator belt touches the variator cover on the inside and has grinded a cut in the metal. - In the variator, where the weights are, the belt does not go down to the bottom of the wheel. - The clutch bell had turned blue from the heat. - The place where the connecting rod attaches to the crankshaft had turned blue from heat. - There was no fuel filter on it before. But i now saw there is an internal fuel filter in the gastank, can it affect the vacuum if you now have 2 fuel filters.
Having built a bunch of No-Peds back in the day, I have to say this brings up memories. MILL THE HEAD⭐️It you want “EASY HP” but will need to run premium or race gas (or octane booster). 180 psi can run most pump gas, but I built one with about 200psi and it was REALLY fast but requires race type octane numbers and a “colder sparkplug)CARB⭐️ FIND AN aftermarket race carb for an 80cc and always get your carb tuning correct and check often, learn how to read plugs and watch for high speed leanout. PIPE⭐️ when I look at that pipe it just seems wrong, I would probably get an RM/YZ/CR 80/65 race pipe and cut it up to build a custom pipe for your 70, (yeah it will be a bit flat out of the hole but once it gets on the pipe.. lookout!) PORTING⭐️ at the very least learn about porting and do a mild port/polish)🎉 ⭐️lighten up everything that spins, get a looser clutch, play with gear ratios if possible. But most important, HAVE FUN
I had a Honda Ruckus 2012 moped scooter with a Yoshimura performance exhaust, 150cc Big Bore Kit, Port polished racing jets, heavier weights for the back tire, rev limiter box so it had no limit, neons, skull hand mirrors, tire conversion to give it a stance like a chopper, the works till I ended up warping the aluminum heads and seizing the camshaft because it was still a 49cc, 50cc motor 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was racing cars, motorcycles, everything, I even smoked a pocket bike, I could shoot flames out the exhaust, one of my favorite pastimes was getting real close to a sidewalk as someone was walking getting real close and reving it making it backfire multiple times and scaring the hell out of people 🤣🤣🤣 but do to what happened to it that's when I put it in my garage and bought my E46 BMW, sometimes I think about fixing the old Ruckus
Biggest BBK you can put on these garbage engines are 80cc. Anything more and you get the problems you had. Warped cylinder, camshaft shot, ECT. Too much heat for these engines with a kit bigger than 80

WOW! How impressive! What would you advise for Gilera Runner 70cc SP two strokes to get more power? The carburetor you recommend is for 4 strokes only?
You need a specific carb for 2strokes if you don’t premix the oil, but if you mix it in the fuel tank you can fit any carb that fits the intake pipe. I would recommend a 20mm or 18mm
Gilera runners were never sold here in the US... about to try to import one hopefully in the next year or two.. most importantly the Gilera Runner FXR 180 2t or the Runner SP 180 2t
Get a 150cc and start upgrading that! Haha I don’t think one of these 50cc motors would get you to those speeds without some serious mods.. at that point it would be cheaper and easier to go with a 150cc or more

You may already know this, but just in case you don’t: If you wear all the gear all the time, and take a basic rider safety course, a motorcycle is definitely going to be safer than this modified scooter.
It was from Amazon. There are a ton of them there and they are all very similar. Just search your scooter name and carburetor and you should find something comparable
I think your speedometer is off because your rpms increase once you hit "40" mph on most scooters it increases at 30 mph when you get into the red zone.
Not 100% sure if it would fit. Google shows a couple different carbs for that moped. You could always give it a shot through Amazon and return it if it isn't correct!
Can you help me? I have a 2021 Wolf Rugby model moped, 49cc motorcycle and it reaches a maximum of 30 miles per hour. Can you help me and tell me it would be ideal to buy it so that it has more speed?
It probably just had a blocked membrane to not go over 33mph or 50km/h which is the max. limit at most countries. You could have just taken that off (below the main membrane) and get exactly the same results but with your money in your pocket...
do u think if i rejet my carb and add a new filter it’ll have the same affect or would something like a new carb be better? i was gonna get a rejet kit and a air filter but it just getting anew carb would be better then i’d do that. planning on doinf bbk soon but want this for now. please lmk what u think

It should, I would suggest looking in our description for the other carb options too! The one from the video is actually stock. The one we replaced was junk. That's where the improvement came from. We have tested a few more since this video, and if you are looking for performance, there are better options that we have listed. Hope this helps! Have fun with the new scooter🤘🤘

We used the jet that came in the new carb. It started right up with the new carb and we didn't really have to tune it. Ran really good out of the box.
@@throttle_therapy he was talking about how it ran, not if it ran
@@thomasardizzone531 He said “Didn’t have to tune it”. That means it ran fine without adjustments
@@throttle_therapy Nice vid, I would have been skeptical myself. Just wish you had taped a phone with GPS to that to get top speed!
@@staticGenerator4You thanks! We will do that when the snow melts and we can play with the scooters again. Stay tuned, also if you want to see certain things let us know and we will try to make it happen
I had a hammerhead jet 50 and I got it for free. So I got the carb cleaned and new battery and it cruised at 50mph and Idk what was done to it but it was nice
I'm not so mechanical savvy. Can you do a in depth video step by step to set this up? I have the exact same scooter lol.. and it's all I have right now. Could really use the boost!
That carb is an 18mm and is by no means a performance carb. You can tell by the radiator drain plug. Also it does not have an acceleration pump. You string the throttle cable through there. Plus if you wanna make your bike run faster, and are mechanically inclined, you should be looking at the transmission not the carburetor first especially given there's not bbk on it. You'll need to get 1000rpm springs on your rear clutch, replace the variator with a performance variator and swap the rollers for 5grams or 7gram rollers, then get a blue unregulated racing CDI and put back on your box filter and remove the cone filter, unless you plan on buying a big bore kit, in which case you're also gonna want to get an aftermarket exhaust pipe, orange performance ignition coils, and better spark plugs with three prongs. That and finally look at replacing the carb with a 20mm and upping the jet size, and popping a 48mm cone filter on it. And if your bike can fit it under it's seat get a nibbi filter extension. Increases airflow allowing more power to the engine. Plus a cooling fan scoop would help as well. But seriously bro, this video just makes me wanna lose it. If you're gonna be doing this type of work at least know a hundred percent what you're doing.
Sorry you feel upset. We all have to start somewhere tho. We make videos and learn along the way. We have learned a lot since making this video and you are right. We appreciate the knowledge you shared here. Thanks.
@@throttle_therapy No problem. I'm a bit of a stickler for this type of stuff. Had my OCD kicking😂😂
@@adrianscoggin7212 yeah. We literally just bought the scooters before making this video and have never worked on them before. We 100% are noobs and had no idea the video would do this well. It kind of forced us to learn more. We are looking into doing more in depth scooter stuff this summer so hopefully we can get some more experience.
@@throttle_therapy Go for it. It's a good thing to learn. Plus you could if you learn enough start a business out of it. And it's decent money, even if you work as a solo mechanic. Not to mention fun. And you seemingly are mechanically inclined, so you will definitely pick up quick. I wish you the best. And sorry if I came off rude, hope you'll forgive me.
@ Adrian Scoggin
If I have got a regular factory GY6 50cc Scooter can I use the 20mm Carb you suggest..?
Along with upgrading CVT ,
& De-Restricted CDI...
& finally , can I keep my stock Air Box & Exhaust...???
It’s the same exact one that came with the gy6. I replaced the carb with the same exact one and the pod filter it came with. Literally no difference lol
Edit: I’m an idiot and didn’t air my tires.. 11 psi back to 38-40ish. Yes now I can feel the extra power. It absolutely moves way harder now.
Wow that's awesome and how many miles does it run
I'm fucking impressed this is awesome. Buying new carb tomorrow 😂
Great video guys. Very profesional, just keep doing this. You have my sub
Thank you! We appreciate the feedback a ton🤘
I junt chamged carborator and that's it bro like with stock carb it was going 50km/h and now it goes 70km/h I think it good for 50cc moped
Unfortunately, this no longer works. I have the same scooter and it maxes at about 40 before and after the carb change. Came here looking for other ideas. Glad that you had the good luck. I am thinking my problem is all the emissions crap on a motor smaller then my lawnmower has. What did you do to get rid of that? is it just welding a plate over the port? Or can I just bolt a piece of metal over the port?
I have put a big bore kit on mine and it did remove the emissions by just covering it and try getting bigger Jets for the carb I heard that works
i bought a second hand piaggio zip 50 and i was surprised i could get top speeed 50mph out of it ! its totally stock but i think from what read on google is that the zip series is one of the fastest scooters available..
Dude mine goes only 37mph
Propably stock but derestricted
When i clicked on the link in the description of the carburetor you used, it only made a search term and I had to pick the exact product, i picked the one with the most reviews and i was wondering how many mm the carburtor used in this video was?
I ordered the carburetor for my taotao scooter, I hope it goes like yours in the video.
Did it work
Hello, I have a problem, I have a Peugeot Speedfight 1 100cc that recently seized up/heat seized. It was not tuned. I then changed the cylinder, piston etc. It now starts up right away, but after a while it dies all of a sudden (as if you had turned off the key) and then I can start it right up again, this usually happens when I go over 60 km/h or uphill.
When I changed the cylinder etc, I also cleaned everything thoroughly, such as the carburettor, intake, new air filter, new fuel filter (there was no fuel filter before) new spark plug. I also removed the oil pump and put a metalplate with a gasket over the hole instead, I now mix the oil directly into the gasoline.
Some other info that might be important.
- When I drive over 60 km/h, it starts to make a noise from the variator (CVT), it´s sounds quite a lot.
- When it died, I tried to start it again while it was rolling and then it started right away, but it made a noise from the variator, like something "let go" that had been seized up, like a rubber sound, maybe from the belt.
- The variator belt touches the variator cover on the inside and has grinded a cut in the metal.
- In the variator, where the weights are, the belt does not go down to the bottom of the wheel.
- The clutch bell had turned blue from the heat.
- The place where the connecting rod attaches to the crankshaft had turned blue from heat.
- There was no fuel filter on it before. But i now saw there is an internal fuel filter in the gastank, can it affect the vacuum if you now have 2 fuel filters.
Please help me.
Regards
Andree.

Having built a bunch of No-Peds back in the day, I have to say this brings up memories. MILL THE HEAD⭐️It you want “EASY HP” but will need to run premium or race gas (or octane booster). 180 psi can run most pump gas, but I built one with about 200psi and it was REALLY fast but requires race type octane numbers and a “colder sparkplug)CARB⭐️ FIND AN aftermarket race carb for an 80cc and always get your carb tuning correct and check often, learn how to read plugs and watch for high speed leanout. PIPE⭐️ when I look at that pipe it just seems wrong, I would probably get an RM/YZ/CR 80/65 race pipe and cut it up to build a custom pipe for your 70, (yeah it will be a bit flat out of the hole but once it gets on the pipe.. lookout!) PORTING⭐️ at the very least learn about porting and do a mild port/polish)🎉 ⭐️lighten up everything that spins, get a looser clutch, play with gear ratios if possible. But most important, HAVE FUN
I had a Honda Ruckus 2012 moped scooter with a Yoshimura performance exhaust, 150cc Big Bore Kit, Port polished racing jets, heavier weights for the back tire, rev limiter box so it had no limit, neons, skull hand mirrors, tire conversion to give it a stance like a chopper, the works till I ended up warping the aluminum heads and seizing the camshaft because it was still a 49cc, 50cc motor 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was racing cars, motorcycles, everything, I even smoked a pocket bike, I could shoot flames out the exhaust, one of my favorite pastimes was getting real close to a sidewalk as someone was walking getting real close and reving it making it backfire multiple times and scaring the hell out of people 🤣🤣🤣 but do to what happened to it that's when I put it in my garage and bought my E46 BMW, sometimes I think about fixing the old Ruckus
That sounds fun as hell!!! Hahah
Biggest BBK you can put on these garbage engines are 80cc. Anything more and you get the problems you had. Warped cylinder, camshaft shot, ECT. Too much heat for these engines with a kit bigger than 80
Can I buy this from u fmoig low.high420
@@throttle_therapyy'all know there is a 110cc two-stroke scooter sold by a brand called Genuine scooter co. here in the u.s. not sure if y'all mess with two strokes if you're in the US
Not gonna lie, I got a Bashan ruckus clone that barely hit 25 when I got it. After some roller weights in the CVT, removed airbox and slapped a K&N air filter on it, and a better better carb, that POS now pushes 40
Basicly all of those 50cc 4stroke scooters all do about 70 km/h so about 45 miles/h just putting a non restricted cdi or ecu in them...
Can you take the stock carb off and just bolt it right on or you have to change something
It should replace the stock carb with no extra steps. Should just be plug and play
guys.....unless you put a BBK in along with the carb. do not expect these results.
likely was jetted terrible from stock (72 main or lower) and had a dirty carb.
want a real improvement? throw a 47mm/ 72cc BBK along with a rejet and tune.
Happy scootin
That's what i am thinking. Or maybe the old jet was gumming up
@@datvik7187 Very possible. these little bastards are finicky at times and all act a little different
Is this after the BBK?
Not saying I don't believe you, but that speed gain is hard to believe. I'm about to buy the whole carb/air/intake/cable lmaooo
that is a WILD peformance boost!
Awesome 👍 thank you. I'm going to get one for my Tomos golden bullet!
What mm that carburator is what i found that should be 18mm but stock in som scooters are 18mm
The one we installed in this video is 18mm. It was basically stock. Upgrade to the 20mm or a pwk carb! Much better results with those
WOW! How impressive!
What would you advise for Gilera Runner 70cc SP two strokes to get more power?
The carburetor you recommend is for 4 strokes only?
You need a specific carb for 2strokes if you don’t premix the oil, but if you mix it in the fuel tank you can fit any carb that fits the intake pipe. I would recommend a 20mm or 18mm
@@alexakys__ THX!
21mm carb and a bigger exhaust, power filter or remove the prop from your current exhaust
Gilera runners were never sold here in the US... about to try to import one hopefully in the next year or two.. most importantly the Gilera Runner FXR 180 2t or the Runner SP 180 2t
Any tips on getting it to do 80-100?
Get a 150cc and start upgrading that! Haha I don’t think one of these 50cc motors would get you to those speeds without some serious mods.. at that point it would be cheaper and easier to go with a 150cc or more
@@throttle_therapy are you in Vegas bro?
Hi. How did this upgrade affect the power, I'm reffing to the initial start power from full stop Tnx
Awesome upgrade! Will this fit a 2008 yamaha zuma yw50?
Took the advice and the link. What to do with the hose under, next to the overflow hose on bottom ? Connect to the vaccuum w/a 3 way?
I'll have to look when we get the scooters out of storage. I think we might have just left it unplugged?
I think that goes back up to the intake... Both hoses fit but are different sizes you will be able to feel which one fits right
Is this the scooter from Amazon 😂 ? Need a scooter to get around and I saw and Amazon one for cheap watched a couple reviews than landed here , might need to put a new carb on if I end up getting it 😂
We got this one on Facebook marketplace! You would probably have a good time with the Amazon one tho. I'd say go for it🤘
Remove choke and re-do the gear ratio for 60+ mph
Choke?
@juuso more info on removing the choke & gear ratio please for 60+ mph
Can't really remove the choke. It's an automatic choke (solenoid valve)
One too suggest for a zuma 2 stroke
This place is so good!
I have a 49cc vip future champion and bought that carb and cdi and all how you get yours to go that fast???
My boyfriend won’t let me drive a motorcycle. I want to be able to keep up with traffic and be able to go across the state.
I can only use my 30 mph 49 cc scooter So I hope this will solve the problem
I hate dragging a car around everywhere when I just want to ride.
You may already know this, but just in case you don’t: If you wear all the gear all the time, and take a basic rider safety course, a motorcycle is definitely going to be safer than this modified scooter.
I’m confused, which carb is the one that made it faster and without needing anything else, thx.
One with bigger Jets I assume letting more fuel in
Big bore kits will do the job!😊
Did you change the Intake Manifold Boot when you installed the 20mm Carb?
Would been nice if they would have told us name the carburetor put on made it go faster
It was from Amazon. There are a ton of them there and they are all very similar. Just search your scooter name and carburetor and you should find something comparable
So I Just Installed My Carburetor on my 49cc Scooter..Adds a lil bit of performance but doesn't make it double you speed
PWK 21mm carburetor is where it’s at if you want any decent performance gains.
I have a 2024 Solana 49cc and I want a carborater upgrade to make it faster what do you suggest?
Is this a 2 or 4 stroke carburetor?
One handed at 80 was wild
Is that a 4 stroke or 2 stroke?
Subbed. Ever verify the top speed phone GPS?
Heck yeah!! And Yep. Did a bunch more videos witha gps app. 41 mph is the actual top speed
I think your speedometer is off because your rpms increase once you hit "40" mph on most scooters it increases at 30 mph when you get into the red zone.
It is definitely off by a lot. Top speed here was actually 40 ish
@@throttle_therapy oh ok I figured so my moped does 46 and sounds exactly the same so I found it hard to believe you did 50. Thanks for clarifying.
Im tryna rebuild 150cc got full engine , dont know where to get a frame nor do i know how to check if the engine still works cuz been a car crash
Here's a problem for you. I broke my smaller fender that wraps around the back. I can fiberglass it, but - how to remove it??
I just bought a 50cc icebear from someone and it reaches 50mph. I think he put a different carburetor and a carbon fiber exhaust on it.
Cooooool! That's awesome we want one of those really bad
whats the name of the carb?
Thank you for the video
No problem!
Hey brother. Would this carburetor fit into an old Piaggio Comet (Googling it will probably show you the moped). Thanks a lot for your content brother
Not 100% sure if it would fit. Google shows a couple different carbs for that moped. You could always give it a shot through Amazon and return it if it isn't correct!
is this for 2 or 4 strokes? We sell Wolf brand and they are all 4 strokes
Can you help me? I have a 2021 Wolf Rugby model moped, 49cc motorcycle and it reaches a maximum of 30 miles per hour. Can you help me and tell me it would be ideal to buy it so that it has more speed?
It probably just had a blocked membrane to not go over 33mph or 50km/h which is the max. limit at most countries. You could have just taken that off (below the main membrane) and get exactly the same results but with your money in your pocket...
How much km/h it goes after upgrading?
i recommend you all buying a piaggio zip 50cc !! top speed 50pmh and thats a stock standard scooter without mods..
great... now our scooter Wishlist is getting bigger lol thanks for the tip
Installed this carburetor. Now it won't start and the carb isn't sucking air when I put my hand over it. Any suggestions?
Would it work on any scooter or has to be a specific bike?
Should work on any 50cc gy6 scooter
@@throttle_therapy gy6 OK need to check if the lexmoto echo plus is a gy6
do u think if i rejet my carb and add a new filter it’ll have the same affect or would something like a new carb be better? i was gonna get a rejet kit and a air filter but it just getting anew carb would be better then i’d do that. planning on doinf bbk soon but want this for now. please lmk what u think
You could try! Our old carb was junk thats why we got this one. If yours is still good then yeah rejetting and a filter would be a good option 👍
I should do this to my wolf blaze 🔥
Don't do interstate speeds on your moped. They're not built for the vibrations. That said, 35 is abysmal and 50 is pretty reasonable imo.
I've got the same unit on my AJS Firefox 50, but I'm concerned that it'll suck in water if the road is wet or there are large puddles from heavy rain. How do you prevent it from doing so?
BTW, I only get around 40mph top speed, so it might not have been installed correctly...?
Hey i have a peugeot kisbee sportline and i want to de rescrit it but i dont know to do the cdi and what colour cable to pull out any ideas how ?

Dang that's too bad! I'm thinking that there was something really wrong with our stock carb. The scooter was super slow. But we didn't have a good frame of reference to test other than the new carb.
How many mm is the new carb

can you please explain the egr valve delete you did and the other delete you did. all we know is you put a carb in and its faster. lol explainnn

Great video 👍
Thank you!
Would this carb work in a 2013 benelli 50cc scooter? Kinda new to these scooter
It should, I would suggest looking in our description for the other carb options too! The one from the video is actually stock. The one we replaced was junk. That's where the improvement came from. We have tested a few more since this video, and if you are looking for performance, there are better options that we have listed. Hope this helps! Have fun with the new scooter🤘🤘
