The only reasonable other option is the CT with a 21 OKO if it is to be a street scooter.

that carb is good too. a little harder to tune but can be done. you will have to try it first with the spigot that comes with the ct. you might have to change to the malossi spigot. its smaller for mikuni carbs. if your doing 60mph now you wont gain any much more but another 1maybe 2mph. the contessa is not made to rev unless you port it to the exact specs as the corsa. thats what is going to limit you from going faster.that pipe will limit you too as its more for 50-65cc bores.

Greetings:

Talk to TreatLand.TV guys to get the right "Donut" to adapt the smaller 32mm Mikuni spigot to the CT manifold. (OKO carbs are 34.

I really liked the Mik 24 except that the idle mixture screw was located to the inside. I found tuning was pretty straightforward except for that mixture screw. You can reach it with a short Hex screwdriver bit and a skinny-fingered Spider Monkey.

A bigger carb will give you more top speed but will hurt acceleration. Do some variator tuning for better acceleration.

I've said for a long time that over-carberation will give you a little more top speed but hurt your usable acceleration for everyday street driving. I'm leaning toward a 21 mm OKO for my Aero 80 hop up instead of the 24 that CT Cycles pushes.

i think my exhaust hurts my low-end power, it's not bad def. better than stock, but it's gotta' go.. so bear your saying that a bigger carb and intake dosen't help with low end power? .. and another thing i'm running 8.44 gears so.. i'm thinking maybe the 9.1 would improve that.. although it might destroy my top-end...
