..i did experience something like that with my s9...i tried running the tech next, with both my oem box, and a malossi filter...

..had terrible issues with sputtering off idle..plug looked bad rich...

WOW. Maybe the oil is what kept you safe. well OEM airbox goes a long way to saving a lean jet too. Give it a shot with the corrected pump, and the plug. Try not to get into 1/2-wot until you get the pilot jet right, and then you can work on the midrange thru top Is this still the OEM carb? Does it have an adjustable needle?

...nmo, none of the oem needles are adjustable, in my experience...

..they require mods to be able to run open air filters....


..in my exp, and all...

It's an arreche 19mm carb and I'm not sure if the needle itself is adjustable
How could I tell?

Yeah I was sputtering like crazy and it would shut off complely until I started adjusting the fuel air mix screw and upped my pilot, now it stays running at idle and almost runs perfect 1/4 to 1/2 still a minor sputter at 1/4 throttle

It's adjustable... Pull the cap off, and the slide will come out. Inside the slide is the needle. Making the needle higher makes the mix richer, and versa viisa. Your jet is perfect when the needle is in the middle so you can go either way a notch or two for temp/humidity. If you are lean on the 85, and rich on the 90 try the 90 with the needle lowered one or two clips from where it is now. That should get you on the money.

Just so I understand when u say making the needle higher that means 5 being the highest slot and 1 being the lowest if the needle is at 2 I would move it up to 3 or 4 right?

Also how come everywhere I read it says that if my air mix screw is past 1.5 turns I need a smaller pilot jet
That clearly wasn't the case unless changing from a 30 to a 40 is downsizing cause as I changed from a 30-35-40 my air mix screw has gone from 6-4-?
Also if my piston rings are worn or my reeds have a gap in them could this be causing my mixture to run rich? If so any idea where I can purchase a reed valve assembly? I have found tons of websites with the malossi carbon fiber reeds or reed paper but I can't seem to find an assembly that fits my scooter.

What I mean is raising the needle higher out of the jet makes the jet richer from about 1/2 throttle on. Lowering it makes the jet leaner. It is kind of a fine tunning portal for the main jet.

You are thinking TOO much Like. Some carbs have air screws, and some have fuel screws. 1.5 turns is the MINIMUM amount of counter clockwise screw turns you want. The Maximum is 3.5. 2.5 is perfect.
 Your screw controls FUEL flow at idle/low speed. A bigger jet Naturally provides more fuel so you need to lessen the flow with your "fuel control idle mix screw."  Please don't get into the big words explanations. I'm too old. You can get reed blanks at ANY cycle shop. Or malossi custom at SPI, or I can get them for you at 10% off. malossiparts101@gmail.com
