Ideal Corsa Carb?

Post by KingJeff801 »

I have been watching the threads with z50r and Wheelman talking about different carb sizes for a corsa (or maybe any 72cc) ... I am about to start my winter bbk Corsa build project and am wondering which will be the best performance and easiest to tune with my corsa.

Thoughts :hi:

Greetings:

If things go as they usually do in Scooterdom, the ideal carb is midway between a 21 and a 24. Start looking for a 22.5mm OKO today! :wink:

I will be on the lookout for that, but it may be hard to find jets for :wink:

So it poses the question which would be say is the safer bet? (I know thats a loaded question),

..... and I know every set up never works the same in any bike.....so more thoughts

The little carb with big jets would be the safer bet but not the best performance.

Greetings:

The 24mm OKO seems fairly well-matched to the Corsa using current 46 Pilot and a 120 Main. I've deliberately jetted it rich enough to handle cool morning air, letting it go rich on warm afternoons. At some point I may try to enable the Power Jet feature or install a Dial-A-Jet to optimize for weather changes.

Z50R_Ghost is using a 21mm OKO with almost the same jet setup, but says he's running rich - predictably enough. I had to go as high as 60/160 using a 30mm OKO.

Does the 21mm have a power jet?

Hey guys,

The OKO 21mm is not available with a Power Jet; the only carb OKO offers with a Power Jet is the 24mm, like Mr. Wheelman has. I did have a Koso 30mm carb that had a Power Jet, and it was really tricky to jet. :confused:

I am going to do some more testing tonight, and I will report back. So far though, the 21mm has ran freaking great.

Where's the ideal place to buy a 24mm carb and related jets?

Also, what's a good intake pipe & reed valve? (Ebay ones, or?)

Can someone tell me/ us more about the power jet feature?

Thanks....

As for my intake manifold, I have a Stage 6 / KOSO (small) intake manifold with a Moto Tassinari reed block. I had to order it from Germany, though. I like it much more than my previous "CT" mani.

"Ideal" jet sizes (both pilot & main) for an 82cc bore with a 28mm carb would be?

Also, can someone tell me a little on power jets?

Thanks....
