Delorto's are just as hard to work on. You have to remove it from the engine. But they are much better carbs overall. Parts are everywhere. I would give it a shot.

I got some new carbon fiber reed petals and tried putting them on but they don't sit snug on the valve assembly. Is there a trick to getting them to stay flat and not leave a gap between the petal and the valve assembly?

You may have Over tightened them. The screws need to be just SNUG, and blue Lock Tite MUST be used. Try loosening them to see if they sit flat. If not something is warped. You can flat file or block sand the cage, and I would test the reeds to see if they are flat on a pane of glass.

Cool I'll try that, I dropped the needle and the sputters at 1/4 to 1/2 are practically no existant now. It sputters just slightly. I'm going to do a plug test today. Even with all the mods I've done it seems that it doesn't want to pass the 50mph mark. Am I ever going to be able to get it to run 50 or 55 with out having to go down a hill?

Yeah... The Like can do it. It's all in patiently adjusting/re adjusting, and finally hitting it with a mallet.

Whaat?  :( Man, Dellortos are my all-time favorite.  Have you tried the PHBG Racing setup yet?  The one with the screw-on throttle cap and the main jet bolt in the bottom of the bowl?  Those two things make them a lot easier to tune. 



Hope you're doing well!

I haven't used the race versions. I was referring to the basic phgb. A carb with a bowl access plug, and screw off cap is really what you want. Saves alot of wear, and tear, as well as time.

Let me know. Check out the cost at Racing Planet, and SPI. I have accounts at both.

That carb looks exactly like the one my friend gave me. I guess I might be trying that one out soon
Need to buy the jets for it and the manual choke cable
Any idea around what size jets I would need for that perticular carb
Is it hard to convert from an automatic choke to a manual choke?

I just installed a malossi delta clutch, torque spring, belt and a new tire this morning. Now my scoot is making this vibration when I hit 40 to 45mph. Is that just the parts being new and needing to break in. I did notice that as I drove around it was very slowly getting better. Should I be worried? Did I install them wrong?

If the tire bead is fully seated you may have an out of round tire. Run it up on the center stand to see.
