Hi there a while back I posted a problem with my 2010 agility scooter I put a 80cc big bore kit through it and at top speed it starts popping and back firing through the carby, I was told that I should have put a smooth boss in it before anything else and it turns out I already have a fully smooth boss(no step up) not sure how seeing as I bought it of the show room floor but my scooter still only gets to 43mph all tho nearly never lags on hills or into wind because of the bigger cc I was looking at how to make it go faster (top speed) any one be able to give me some good ideas? And also any thoughts again on the back firing problem? I'm running a bigger carby but only a 95 jet shoud I be running a bigger one? Thnx for any help.
Heres how it goes: The popping spound is you hitting the rev limiter, so it doesent ignite every time. You can solve this, by cutting the CDI, as it is told billions of times on this forum, which will give you 9000 limit instead of 7000 RPM limit. If you have already done this, you can buy a fully derestricted CDI, but this is not recommended on a 4-stroke, because of the valves, and because of the narrow effectband. The 9000 should normally be enough to get to 50 mph, when the variator is fully geared out.
BUT it is recommended, that you put stronger valve springs in too, when you do this, to prevent the valves from "floating".
The backfiring: This is because the intake valve is not closed fully, when the engine ignites, and it can have 3 causes: first, it could be, that you have put your crankshaft in the wrong place, when you mounted it, and you should check this. The second cause can be, that your valve springs arent strong enough, and your valves is floating at max RPM. If it is one of these two causes, you're lucky, that it hasnt crashed your engine yet.
The third and last cause of backfiring is, that your valves has been burned around the edges, and no longer does a airtight close.
Anyway, check your valve clearence too, as they wont close, if the clearence are too tight ^^
Good luck fixing it, and post pictures, if youre able to :p
