d***, that's alot of compression for such a little guy. Aren't Harley only like 90?

Ill go check now. What is normal compression?

I ordered http://www.ebay.com/itm/271025855915?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 and http://www.ebay.com/itm/271025670417?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648. The carb i got is from the SB50 not the SB50p so it should have the unlimited jets. Am I correct? Sor...

That pilot circuit is completely clogged you are right. I started cleaning it with (kinda funny) Pilot Orifice cleaner. Its a long, Super tiny prodding tool. Anyways, it broke off inside so i will just order the new one.

Since we know the carb is the problem ill order the nicer one mentioned above.

For 30$ i just ordered a new carb. Screw spending all that time cleaning it.

well obviously i want it running first. I loaned out my Comp tester and haven't gotten it back. I think ill go buy a new one and check that. I have a weird feeling that its probably something with the engine.

I didn't see anything on it to verify that the filter ect was on. Ill install it and see what i get.

After its running any recommendations on how to make this thing a little more fun?

No, I dont

About a few seconds of running. Its a 87 SE50P i just checked the numbers.

My grandpa died about 5 years ago and left this scooter. I finally got around to pulling it out of his storage shed and it wasn't running. I followed a instruction I found on getting a Honda Spree running after its been sitting. Also I took apart the carb and cleaned it out, change the spark plug, f...
