Kitty litter works great

Alright well turns out the cops over here are real picky little screwballs and wont let me ride the thing again unless i can quiet it down :sad: Sooo i know putting the stock pipe on a corsa will choke it and it wont perfrom well at all. So my thinking is to down grade and get a contessa kit which c...

If its just the regular CT mani they come with fiberglass reeds

That sounds like an easy fix, i'll be trying that tomoro morning

Thanks

Alright well after a break from the frustrating thing i dove into today to find the problem. After pulling the carb out, cleaning it, and putting it back in the moped ran for circa 3 seconds. However, once the gas filled the float chamber it died and i couldnt get it started again. So i tore it down...

So if the float level is too high how do i adjust that? Or better yet, how do i even diagnose that?

42 is the next smallest jet i have.

Bear, I thought you said it was too rich. So wouldnt dropping a jet size help? And if it is a float level issue im not even sure how to go about fixing that. Im surprised it would be a float level thing, the carb is practically brand new.

Yeah, i'll be dropping the idle jet down from a 45 to a 42 to see if that helps tomoro

Okay now it wont stay running for more than about 10 seconds. It will hardly start unless the a/f screw is in all the way :crazy: And i do see premix exiting the exhuast, got a small puddle of it on the ground right beneath the end of the exhaust pipe. I do have one of those new b8hs plugs in there....

Alright I'll look for that ground tomoro but I believe it's the jetting. Sorry, I am not doing true plug chops. Just riding it into my garage, killing it, and pulling the plug. The plug is black. I don't know how you tell the difference from a rich plug vs a fouled plug. The idle just seems to bog. ...

Nevermind then

thanks man, i had some spare rollers that i took out of my honda urban express, and i noticed they had flat spots to, just not half as bad. what i did to my urban is took out 3 of the 6 rollers and i got a lot better mid range power out of it, so i think what im going to do is use my urban express ...

Honda put that in there to help the rollers "roll". But all it does it make them flat spot easier. Remove all the grease, and remove the backing plate( the part with the screws in it) on the variator and you"ll be all set :thumbsup: I would get new stock weights if your old rollers ha...

Alright well i did another plug chop because the same "rough riding" symptoms appeared again. The electrode and the arm above it are both pitch black. So im guessing i jetted too rich. Im at a 45, 120. The a/f screw is approx. 2 turns out. So do i try to adjust the a/f screw or do i lower ...

If youre going for quiet most of the pipes are a lot louder than stock. THe V8 typhoon that daywot sells he markets as "queit performance" but in reality its a screamer
