  The carb in your pic is a keihin PA series. The main jet as far as I can tell is a 99101-124 series. You could measure your jet, and google 99101-124 and you'll know.

  The specs for that one say "RPM reading adjustable from 1 spark per 2 revolutions to 8 sparks per revolution". It will work.

  Does it start and run normally on the center stand? Have you tried revving it on the stand to see if the engine acted funky? Next would be pulling the cvt cover to see if something is hung up. You indicated your scoot had done a lot of miles with the restricted boss before you changed it. Was the variator worn in where the rollers had been stopping when it was restricted? Also the torque driver may have worn a notch in the slide grooves at it's previous max travel.

Look on the side of your carb mounting flange and see if it says PB.

Agility 125 / Re: Mirrors

  First thing I noticed when going from the agility to super 8 was the mirrors are actually functional. Like the op, I too seen only my shoulders in the agility mirrors.

   I had a milk crate mounted to the rack on my agility 50 with some clamps from tsc. Extremely handy. I still need to mount one on my super 8.

Agility 50 / Re: carb vacuum hose??
« on: September 25, 2013, 02:20:45 AM »
   That is the drain hose for the carb. It should just hang down towards the ground. There is a valve operated by opening a slotted screw which drains the bowl through that hose if you need to drain the carb for any reason.

   I removed the restriction from the stock exhaust. Acceleration is much improved, and top speed is somewhere past 40 mph, I backed off at 40 but it was still pulling. Prior to this mod, 35-37 mph was it and had to hold wide open for a little bit to get there, now it pulls right past those speeds quickly.  The throttle response is much more banshee like than before.   The tube extends into the exhaust pipe about 3/8", so you have to grind out the weld to get the tube out of the pipe. I cut a round piece of sheet metal, and made a gasket out of some header material and triple clamped it, since I couldn't get it welded today.  I cut the air injection tube off and crimped it shut.

« on: September 23, 2013, 08:54:15 PM »
   I see scooters every time I go out, and hear them drive by my house if the windows are open. Around here Kymco, Eton, Honda scooters are available between the two motorcycle shops we have. Most of the scooters I see are agility 50's.

     Results of marking the pulleys and running it.

   It appears the clutch pulley reaches it's maximum belt depth, and the variator reaches right at maximum travel about evenly.

  On stock exhaust, stock variator and clutch pulleys,  no rev limiter (it seems the stock exhaust is the rev limiter), upjet, it seems around 37 mph indicated is about it. Going any faster would take mods to facilitate higher engine rpm (pipe, bbk, carb, airbox). Or final drive gearing changes.

  If it had a clutch pulley that allowed the belt to travel to the bottom, the stock variator travel would only facilitate using around 70% of the clutch pulley range, the belt would have to be shortened to allow the stock variator to pull it to the bottom of the clutch pulley, and thus some penalty to the takeoff gearing.

  A larger variator with more effective travel would be ideal with a fully unrestricted clutch pulley.


  Just my interpretation of it, let me know what you think, and what results you have found.

Are the torque drive all the way out on the picture ?

On my scooter it looks like it goes out more.


  Yes, both torque drivers are all the way out in the pic. Will a belt fit further into the pulleys you have?

  Many serious bikers to be found here http://advrider.com/forums/ 
I can spend hours reading through the ride reports.
