If you look at your last query on this topic you'll see that both me and Soulsurfer think this will be OK

spoke to mb developments and they said if i go to 18 i would have to puy a jl4 race pipe on to pull it

doesnt sound right to me !!

If you're unsure then the easiest thing to do is fit a 17 tooth front sprocket - you must have an 81 link chain with the gearing you're running now and it's probably worn enough. This is going to cost you about £25, less if you put a wanted add up on here and somebodies got one to sell.
If it still pulls really well with 47/17 then you can consider buying an 82 link chain and 18 tooth sprocket or leaving it as it is.

I run a 16/46 on mine - Li150 box.
TMX35 carb and Franspeed Race pipe.

Pulls like a steam train when in the power kicks in at 5000 rpm!

The closest you'll get to Jimmo's gearing is 47/18 with your pacemaker box. His will be doing 10.5 mph/1000rpm in 4th, yours 10.6mph/1000rpm.

Had a JL4 (until it split) on a TS1-225, cant remember what sprockets but had Li150 box and gave 4.6 final ratio. took a bit to get up to revs but when it did it pulled like a good un. will find you have to drop into 3rd if the revs die off. great fun tho.
