Does your carb BOLT on? Those are for the bolt on type. I was thinking more like this  http://www.partsforscooters.com/Intake_manifold_164-5. Let me look more into it, and get back later...http://www.scootertronics.com/intakekit.html Is this like yours?

Ok then... A few quick thoughts. You can use the adapters you showed. You will need to make some "paper" gaskets for both sides of it as the "o" rings will not seal unless they are included. Or you can cut the mounting flange off at the carb end and use a rubber coupler. The second option will allow you to use any of the after market carbs. Or you can measure the center to center mounting holes on the engine side, and replace the whole manifold with a gy6 type. There are a few options.
Maybe Josh has some other suggestions. He has both of those scoots (S9/Peop.)

It will make jetting MUCH easier. Full control over fuel ratios is paramount in tunning BB Kits. The engine cases are designed for a specific flow rate, and the larger bore requires more cfm. So you have to "trick" the engine into getting that balance back.
You mentioned "stand up jet ski". In 1976 I had a 250cc Kawasaki that I bored to 325cc total. I used Wiesco pistons from a Yamaha 175 enduro. That f'er threw rooster tails 25 yards. Tuned pipe, aluminum flywheel, ect. It STILL runs. My Buddy in N.Y. still rides it. 36 years on a performance modded 2t. NOT TOO BAD!

Good to here. I was HOPING it wasn't a murder suicide or something.

one problem after anouther... i cleaned the carb again, it was full of water... so i think i fixed the carb problem, when to start her up, she purred of coarse, turned it off went inside to get something came back out and tried to ride it down the street to see what it does, and the solenoid is clicking, i had this problem before and it was a loose starter wire, so i think its shorting somewhere

Drain a few ounces of fuel thru the fuel line into a clear container. Let it sit, and see if there is water in the fuel/tank.
You can jump the starter solenoid to get it running for a test ride., I would check the fuel first tho
