Installing 72cc upgrade....Need help

[Peters]

Package just came in today



Started on it tonight. A little more to it than I thought. It's kinda a pain to replace the carb cable with the new one from the kit. There's a junction under the floor where one cable splits to two that is a pain to get to and I still haven't removed the old. I think I have to take the cable out of the twist throttle itself before it will come apart. Like I said a pain.

Also took me a while to figure out how the wrist pin clips go in. Still lots more to finish tomorrow.

The entire cable is replaced isnt it?

[Peters]

No, just from the carb to the junction. The Dellorto doesn't use the twist on connection like Keihin uses

I got it all together and all it will do is idle. If I touch the throttle it dies. If I take the choke off it dies. I have opened the jet up from 80 to like 100 progressively and still the same thing. Do I need to go bigger? I have 72cc kit, 19mm dellorto carb, and malossi air filter. It's like it's not getting enough fuel. I pulled the fuel filter out to be sure, still nothing. What should I do?

[Peters]

My pilot jet is getting clogged. I cleaned it, put it back together, got it to idle(barely), turned it off, took the carb back off and the pilot jet was clogged again. 3 times over that happened.

Going to get some carb cleaner today. I didn't think I was going to have to clean a brand new carburetor.

Tank full of crap? No filter.

[Peters]

Just drained the tank to use premix. The filter is back in and still not running. I highly doubt the crap came from my tank.

The reeds that came in the kit didn't work with my people 2t. That's what the problem was.
I may have been mistaken about the jet getting clogged. And what I thought was the idle jet was actually the choke jet.

It runs great! Like the kit just brought all of my other upgrades together. I can do 45mph with power to spare. Hills are no longer a struggle. I am trying to keep it below 50mph just for the break in anyway.
