MY ZX50 O.E.M CARB TUNING

[thebatman]

i had changed everything back to before..got the oem cage in and all.. thats the head scratcher??  everything back to before.. air flow should be like before, have the ported cage in hand.....idk? today is going to be around 81, maybe they will be a difference today....        i do wanna put the ported cage back in tho....oh, i wonder if my intake would fit your reed cage, then at least i  could have a 4 petal cage untill i can get a bigger carb, if i can get the leanness out of my carb anytime soon...

I will have a look tomorrow and see if it will fit.

well, it did seem to run a tad better today, it was around 82?? still dont know how jet could need bigger tho i think. but still wasnt right, i dont think.... also going uphill today(different than normal hills i take), this was a long hill, faurly steep, but i have traveled before.....but id swear there was aone sort of "surge" going on..going you could tell rpm drop, lets say 750, after i moment or 2, you could feel the rpm pick up amd tell by the sound.. a weee to a waaaaa to a weee to a waaaa, but a steady speed throughout..wtf is that???   first thing i thought of was cdi, but it never missed a lick during this but i wouldnt have thought fuel, (get a extra shot of gas every 45 seconds uphills?                         did get a phone call earlier today, telling me they found a ol homeboy/crime partner murdered yesterday a.m dumped off the parkway...DAMNITT MAN!!!.  that was a crazy phone call there..    thought he was gonna do better after sissy o.d.ed, guess he fell again.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your mate, seems the older we get the more people we see go.
I have just had a crazy thought, it will sound strange but have you got the hoses on the right connectors on the fuel tap?

telling me they found a ol homeboy/crime partner murdered yesterday a.m dumped off the parkway

..said a prayer...

[thebatman]

what up fellas? thanks for the kind words an prayers...yeah, 2 guys in jail now, they set him on fire after when they dumped him and the animals got to the other side so dawn had him cremated, dam bitch there.bo s mama is pissed over all that with dawn too. i would be too, thats her son sh**......      anyway, no body had any ideas on the we wa  sound?... still done it today uphills, its weird..it sux......whats up on downjetting the carb??  wouldnt that make it slower again??..how could downsizing ever make it right???    my carb is still off somehow......imagine that huh?!?!? any ideas??...seems like a power surge for lack of better terms. you can actually FEEL the difference half the time. can always hear the difference...rpms drop some, then you can feel those rpms come back,with the powerloss then fall out again...a steady speed throughout this tho??? carb jetting, cdi??

[wordslinger]

[wordslinger]

..agreed...

[thebatman]

now..if i could figure this scooter stuff out before i end up throwing it across the yard..   well maybe a hammer, it is pretty heavy.

 Ha! I didn't want to jump right in to it ,figured you needed a moment to breath.(Damn!)
 My best uneducated guess would be electrical. Seems you have coverd all the bases elsewhare.Not my strong point!!! but have seen this happen. The problem I don't know how to test these things properly. Cdi,coil, stator.But if air and fuel have been eliminated as the cause its all thats left!!!
 For me i had spares to swap till i found the stator was the only thing left.
 Might want to pick up a multi meter and look at some old posts for tests. This is one area I suck at
