70 is a good goal, but I think not acheivable with out a gearing change......either variator, bigger tire, or actual transmission internals.

I wish the Vespa 300Gt was cheap......only if!

did not check the belt. Calculated MPG and I was getting 45mpg

Changed jets again... Pilot=stock 35 and went from 115 back to 110.

I can still only run 62. Went downhill and I hit 66. This is the fastest I have seen it.

The local Kymco Dealer sucks. I can't get info from them.

I figure, if it breaks it breaks. Just hopefully before the warranty is up in July.

hmmmm good idea about the belt.

Taken else apart....I think.


I will check belt p/n later this week. I do know the current one is a kymco part, but that means not much.

speaking of...I calipered the amount of untraveled variator...I have about .25 left"

Too soon to see if the dr pulley did anything.


Also, I am just disappointed becuase my old cheapo Tank 150 hauled ass with less time an money invested.
I never jetted the carb and I know that it lasted 2 more owners before I lost track.

these are definelty WOT values....the last 1/4 turn or so do not seem to do much.

My muffler uses a small diameter pipe and a baffled kawasaki muffler. It might to restrictive.

Gearing?....you got me.

"Here is a pic of 38/115 jets, no shims. weights, spring, stock air box and homemade muffler."

So what is the difference between your stock setup and your current setup.

What has been done to the intake that would need a 115 main jet.  And why does it look lean if your going up 13 on the main jet and your using the stock airbox.

Something is not right and your just gonna be frustrated with it.

Just put it back to stock if it runs better at stock.  ;)


Stock with ghetto muffler 60mph. Changed jets (38/110) and shimmed the needle...scoot got slower, about 58 on speedo. Removed air box lid  and scoot would go maybe 62mph. Removed shims, reinstalled lid. Added dr pulley and yellow spring... 62 mph. Tried 115 jet, 62mph.

Just seems like something holding me back. Does the CDI have a limiter?

well I put a new plug in. That's why one looks new, but I was thinking the same thing. the original jets look like I was running rich while new jets look a little lean.

I double checked hoses and connections. Remember this scooter has 1800 or so miles...possibly Km. Things are new and untouched except by me.

well the weights, spring and muffler are no longer variables.

While tire pressure has effect I say its neglible. If jetting was that sensitive......I would have to jet twice a day one in the morning for cool temps and again in the evening for warmer temps.

Here is a pic of 38/115 jets, no shims. weights, spring, stock air box and homemade muffler. The plug looks fine, its the dam top speed that is bugging me.



This is same setup with 110 jet.



This is stock everything except muffler.

weights and main clutch have no impact on carburetor settings.

Well Sheet!

Removed shims. Install 13g sliders and yellow spring (stock was colored yellow). Cleaned the clutch bell and pads, larger& lighter baffled muffler.

This scooter is slow. All this labor and money and speedo won't go past 64. About 55mph actual. Take off is no better.

Waiting to to cool to check plug for mix ratio.

Am I missing something? I be dammed that the valves need adjusting on a nearly new bike.

My old Tank 150 would go in the 70s actual with a 2 stroke silencer, stock pipe, sliders and a Uni filter, no jetting, performance cdi and coil.

I think its time to sell.

oh yeah....remove shims and stock air box first.

Installing torque spring and dr pulley sliders.....if scoot wont do 65mph(GPS) thinking of selling it while I can get my money back.

Thinking of removing shims and adding these to the air box....I have to be different.

Too lazy and tired to try the needle shims.

Took off the air box lid. Got to 64mph...yee ha.
Took off air filter got to 64 a bit quicker....yee ha.

I will check my plug tomorrow morning.


BTW, anyone transplant K&N gauze to factory filter? I might give it a shot, just need a oil filter donor.
