Yes, that's the carb. Scootrs supplies some pilot and main jets but only one spare needle. I have asked at a local motorcycle shop here in New Zealand and main...
Found the following post from a guy on an Aermacch motorcycle list that I follow. He's an incredibly knowledgeable guy about two- strokes. An older guy. Very...

Here's another post from that Aermacchi group about air filter removal & its effect. This guy isn't very articulate, but I'll share ... Hi Carl and Mike, I'm...
Sounds pretty interesting ! Does this means it’s a waste of time to try to get the carb out of under the seat on a smallframe and to try to put it...
Christopher, yes very interesting, and it does make sense. Antoine...i still think it makes sense to make the carb exit on the right. That way, you can use...
i would not recommend to put the carb outside the frame for a road- going scooter. it's yet to be proven that shorter manifolds gain power on a smallframe...
keihin stuff is VERY easy to get (moreso than Mikuni here), but the problem we face is from stupid retailers who cannot understand that we use the carbs for...
It really depends on how the venturi is pointing - 2T engines don't like air rammed into them (unlike 4T's), so a forward-facing carb with no filter gets air...
shorter intakes improve top-end speed/rpms, so since a smallframe revs fairly high anyway, it's probably not as noticable unless you're pushing 10K+ rpm i'd...
Not really, other than my friend runs a malossi boost bottle w/ his Mikuni 24/ported polini/simonini d&F and swears by it. I was drunk during the conversation...
Case in point: Occassionally, esp. after cleaning my carb, I'll be riding and the airbox of my PK's 19/19e will fall off. The bike immediately bogs and dies....
Well, if they don,t make more power, then i guess the real advangtage is only easy tuning. AS raspu says, the stock pipes sounds very nice, which is wehy i put...
NOt smallframe related,,,but i may need Neil's opinion here or anyone doing tunin gwork with big frames Set up: Polini 208cc 28mm del orto carb..race crank and...
Rasputin makes a good point about the amount of noise that a two-stroke makes out of its carb. That is why most two-stroke street motorcycles had big, fat...
I made a foam filter for my 19/19 and it definately sounds alot different w/o the airbox but I kinda like it-for now! My JL on my 210 is starting to get really...
any kind of sound-deadening airbox will screw with the ability of the carb to breathe...so you might have to look at baffles in the airbox to diffuse sound...
Ahh, just the setup! ;O) PHBH carb I presume? idle = 55. anything larger on that state of tune will idle like crap and foul the plug. you can get away with...
Yes Christopher,,it,s a sign of your evergrowing wisdom. Take the PM off and put that 19mm carb and stock pipe. You will be amazed about the very strong...
Actually, it would not really be an airbox around the carb itself...but rather making sound proof panels to stick on the inside of the frame where the carb...
Thanks a lot neill...yes phbh 28, not sure about needle,,,did not check and timing is right. i will put a 50 just to see. if it idles well, i'll put a 55. it...
For all you chronologically challenged persons out there, that are growing weary of your pesky tuning parts... You may send them to: Motorsport Scooters 4225...
long flathead screwdriver. loosen the clamp that sits right behind the carb, disconnect the throttle cable, disconnect the fuel line, remove carb. -jim...
anybody got a smaller rubber boot for a mikuni 24mm? the malossi job that cam along with my polini manifold is too long...so that the k&n doesn't fit inside...
I just bought one of these suckers, and I've got a couple questions about the whole jetting thing... On the various "how-to" pages I've come across, I've found...
I must say i've changed my thinking on tuning as the wrinkles form...at one time top speed was the ultimate goal. These days for me a decent high speed...
