i want more speed and want to buy an after market exhaust but after reading this thread and hearing about the idle and starting problems, maybe i am better off just leaving it alone, i'm doing anywhere from 35 - 41 on the speedo as it sits stock with a smooth boss installed.  most of the time 35 - 40 is just fine but rode it 45 miles up to south beach yesterday and wished I had more speed.  plus when i got there, there are a lot of hopped up scooters running around south beach, made me want more speed....... what to do???  suggestions anyone?

you are correct that is the pipe i am talking about............  not gonna cut it out, does not seem worth it plus i have read and seeen horror stories on you tube about burning up the motor by making mods to air and intake and exhaust.  i have the machine going 41 mph with just the deristricted boss and if i wanna go faster, i will ride my harley.

sorry for the delay post but just back from 3 weeks vacation and finally had time to install the manual fuel shut off.  all went as planned, had to cut off one stud that was for mounting the factory auto fuel filter/cock assembly and drill out the bracket to mount the new manual fuel shut off valve, worked like a champ!!!  thing runs great again, shouldn't have any more problems with that any time soon now, shoulda done that from the beginning and i'd be 50 bucks ahead with no down time.  took about an hour to do it all, took my time and drank a beer while installing the new parts.  hey what is the line that ties into the muffler and where does it go?  its rubber from somewhere under the scooter then metal to the muffler, can i just cut all that out?

thanks, will do regards to letting you know how it turns out.......  manual fuel shut off will be here wednesday, i'll get it installed then report back.  i don't want to wast time installing the cheap auto pet cocks if the manual will fix it for good.  gonna install fuel filter also and go from there.  i do know the factory part failed again, as soon as I hook the fuel line up to the carb without the auto fuel cock, it fires right up and runs great!!  the fuel tank is clean, i flushed it out last time when i drained out the old fuel.

Well the 50 dollar factory plastic auto fuel pet cock quit working again today!!!!!  it's less than a month on the scooter and it's right back to where i was before.  I ordered a manual fuel shut off today from amazon with new fuel lines and small moped fuel filters.  will install later this week when it gets here.  i am not gonna spend another 50 bucks on another factory plastic part that will just fail again i'm sure. 

is there any problem just capping the port on the manifold that the vacuum line from the auto petcock ran to? with the manual fuel shut off, I wont need to pull a vacuum for fuel flow.  thanks

As I understand it, mach65 went from 30 mph to 41 mph just by changing bosses.  Is this correct?

yes!!!!  blew me away but yes that is a fact, went from 29/30 mph to 40/41 mph by changing the boss..........

anyone with the NCY exhaust pipe?

Got her put back together tonight, used a new factory fuel auto cock 16950-KEC8-9000 and new clear blue fuel lines.  I am extremely happy that I went back together with the stock fuel cock cause its a fuel filter canister also and the clear blue lines show fuel dumping in to the carb as well as the manifold where the vacuum line goes in.  I probably woulda had problems with power loss at full throttle because the way i had it rigged to run when trouble shooting there was no vacuum line to supply additional fuel when needed.  got her up to 30mph stock tonight, now its time to start looking for more speed...  got any suggestions?  new rollers first or carb, intake and exhaust first?  thoughts?  recommendations on parts for more speed?   thanks for all the help.

thanks for the link but i just finally found the factory replacement close by for 45 bucks so i'm gonna just replace it to keep everything stock.  the scooter is a 2011 but its like brand new with only 246 miles on it so i figured the price was cheap to keep this new scooter stock.  it for some reason this fails again, i will go with a cheap replacement.  i'm also figuring that the reason it failed was because the scooter sat for months and eventually years and just dry rotted the diaphragm.

That was the problem!!!  thanks for the help, now the next question.  Is there a problem not reinstalling the auto fuel cock?  I bypassed with a plain lawn mower filter and now i'm thinking about just buying a smaller fuel filter and installing that in line and capping the vacuum port that the hose goes into.  any problems with this approach?  the reason i ask is that little auto fuel cock is 50 bucks.  i'll buy it if i need to.  just asking.....  thanks

well i got the new to me 2011 peoples 50 2 t home yesterday, it has only 246 original miles on it.  It wont start, i changed out the battery, cleaned the carb. still nothing, i chased fuel to the filter clean with plenty of flow.  thats where it stops though, i am  not getting fuel to the carb, i checked the resistance for the auto start valve on the carb and get 4.2 ohms and the manual i am following says as long as its not 5 it should be good to go.  any other reason for no fuel to the carb i should be looking for?  not really sure y I cant get fuel past the fuel filter housing, filter looks really clean, i can spray carb cleaner through the filter lid with the passages but when i put it together and blow throug i get nothing..  i did remove fuel line at carb after cleaning while troubleshooting and i can blow air from where fuel line connects to carb all the way back to the tank but i cant get fuel to flow to the tank????  hmmmm  any help would be great!! thanks!!!!
