It's the age of equality. The small carb users are now allowed to marry each other too.DaleUK wrote:Why do some say use a 26mm card and some say 30mm??

both with kits and carbs you need to ask the question "how do i want my scooter to feel?" if you like the feel of a standard scooter but find it under powered then the mugello, gt186, rt190 with a 24-30mm carb breth sweet filter and bgm clubman will tick the boxes.DaleUK wrote:Why do some say use a 26mm card and some say 30mm??
if you want something more lary then some of the ts1/rb/imola options can be more exhilarating but can also feel like a worn out motorcross bike if you are not in the mood.
ive got an old mugello 225 which is underwelming but chilled out and easy to ride. ok for 65 flat out but nice in town
a gt186 (now donated to a pal with another in its box ready to fit) which is basicly what innocenti would have wanted their engine to be if they were around today
and a 25bhp ts1 which is fun but s**t in town, noisy and drinks fuel. riding through a french village on a summers day people scoul at me for the racket.
smaller carbs are more refined if not thrashing but run out of puff if you are thrashing.....we need 4 pot hollies.
Exactly: A decent tune to the cylinder + decent piston + re-jet and the requirements are met for arround £100LI225Canada wrote:I have been trying to find the article/topic/link which I read a few months ago now, but the lads here at Scooterotica had a post explaining how they can port up a 150 cylinder with very empressive results.
May want to give them a call for some advice.
Just another option to consider.
all that for £100? including a decent piston? have you just woke up after going to bed in 1989?Yanker wrote:Exactly: A decent tune to the cylinder + decent piston + re-jet and the requirements are met for arround £100LI225Canada wrote:I have been trying to find the article/topic/link which I read a few months ago now, but the lads here at Scooterotica had a post explaining how they can port up a 150 cylinder with very empressive results.

No, I woke up today. A Mahle Piston: £40, conversion re-bore £30 re-jet £10, then match the cc ports and alter the inlet + exhaust ports: All in for £80 actually.

you said decent!
but then again, considering what you post out I suppose your view on decent differs to mine
