Greetings:
The right carburetor jets depend on the carb size. Other than "OKO", your post doesn't say which sizeyou have. Also I'm in the dark as to the exhaust. That too will determine optimal jetting.
Presuming the engine power is decent, your issue might be with the 60-gram variator load. Stock was 8.5 on the 2001 SR, and even that keeps the stock engine strangled below its best power.
Consider lightening up those rollers. The well-tuned 50mm bore is capable of 55 with those gears.

Jetting may be pretty good for a 24. Double-check with temperature readings and/or plug reads. Cardboard color = Good.

Forgot to axt you what center spring you're running. That of course will help determine optimal roller weight.

Re: 2001 elite sa50 should be going faster
Greetings:
17mm belt? What length? Malossi made a Derbi/Suzuki 16 that worked pretty well with a thin shim, but changing belt dimensions requires other changes.
Stock length is 641 and width is 15.5. A ZX pulley needs 654 or 669 x 18. If your 17 is too wide for the pulleys or the wrong length, it's not an "upgrade".
Try a stock belt and see?

Re: 2001 elite sa50 should be going faster
Measured side by side with stock belt there the same lenth and one is only slightly wider
Re: 2001 elite sa50 should be going faster
A wider belt has to be longer because it will ride higher on the variator.Pierce ramsay wrote:Measured side by side with stock belt there the same lenth and one is only slightly wider

Re: 2001 elite sa50 should be going faster
So is it bad if the thicker one is the same lenth?
