thanks word....you are the man!!!. dam that scoot looks good...lmao..  small as hell......        see that difference in reed cages?? whoa.....    hope it works..lmao..  i wish idda took a pic, the gasket stayed on the intake, gasket was alot bigger than oem machining..lol... may have to try that....didnt you do that last week art?? good results i guess..better flow anyway huh.... i do not see how a 2 sided cage could even fit but been told by SEVERAL ppl to use those instead..my case only has a curve in it w/2 small intake openings.. youd have to cut ALOT of metal out, dont see how unless complete disassembly either..     

[art]

  ya the 2 stage is the most popular. You may be able to build the port up to fit one (couple of those thick gaskets modded),some kits may have the stuff you need. Not sure where i'm at on the hot rod chek my people post. The porting didn't hurt it but I'm back to square one. Should have parts for my other two builds soon so may be on the shelf for a bit.

..holy sh** batman!! (I always wanted to hear robin say that..lol..)

..no problemo!!

..i got some pics of my brand spanking new oem ppl 50 reed cage i'm fixin to post...

..over yonder>>...

 

[thebatman]

theres no open hole to EVEN insert one.. the way my oem curves on bottom, thats the way the case is, solid curve to the small intake opening..idk...

When you buy the vee reed block (cage) for the four reeds you get the mount for it that mounts the block above the crankcase.

[thebatman]

really now? that part i didnt know..maybe i could have a v style cage then...seems like something would change, having the reeds further away from the intake/case side

[sidthesloth]

I would have to go over the two stroke tuner's habdbook again to find what the difference is, but by moving the reeds back it does alter your crankcase volume but I don't know what effect it has on performance. When I put mine on I went from the stock carb to a 24mm job, so any difference would have been from that. Once you put on that type reed cage and inlet manifold you open up new options with carbs. Having said that, I don't know how large you can go while staying on a 50cc cylinder. Have a look around, there is plenty of gear out there for you, and you get it a hell of a lot cheaper the we can down here in god's garden.

hey there sid, thanks man, yeah i would like a reed cage..i want to leave it "stock"(50cc)(but built...lmao).. i am thinking a 17mm carb, reed cage and sooner or later oversize piston/rings..i am thinking/hoping that would be my wish list....OH YEAH, would like to change gears in the end for the added top but wonder if i actually need the bigger piston first..go ahead with gears(same as shaka) before hand?   hmmm?               so you actually have a v style on your zx?? hmm? cool deal..shaka mentioned the same as his(but doesnt look like a regular v style)(m.h) but the intake wont allow my oem carb(he saud it would, but the pic??).. i figure that should handle business....      ....cheaper.                           i do have a print of that, dont think i saw that..hmmm?

got a ? about a 4t....WHOA...LMAO... anyway, guy said his brand new scoot quit, saw me trying to tune mine, asked if i look at it/what should he do?. well he brought it instead, its a jackel 150s..idk??. anyway, sometimes itll idle, ANY gas it stalls. sometimes it wont idle.when it does idle, dont give it gas..spark good, plenty of fuel reaching carb. did find vaccum hose dry rotted in half(75 dam miles).he said it was like mine, this is a 4t, NOT LIKE MINE....LMAO.. carb stopped up maybe???, or a aiir leak???

[art]

  All them hoses should be changed + carb for best results Ha! or trade it in for a kymco  Have heard the hoses cant withstand the pressure may suck them flat with vacuum Ha! Thats before you can attempt to tune 

[thebatman]

NO TUNNING.....JUST WANTED TO HELP GET CRANKED AND RUNNING AT LEAST
