70cc Tuning Question:

Some guys in our local club have installed a 70cc kit on a Malaguti F10 (with a Minerelli engine) . The kit came with a HUGE 28mm carb with manual choke (which is 5.5 times larger in area than stock). They are having serious problems getting it started when cold (even with the choke closed). Then once it gets fired up and running, it runs very strong at ½ throttle. Once it goes beyond ½ though it boggs out completely.

To me this sounds like the carb is too big. Not enough velocity and vacuum. What do you guys think?

BTW, it has a tuned pipe, cone filter, Malossi Multi-var, and a heavier torque spring.

28mm, thats huge :eek: !!! I'd say return it for a 19 or 24mm.

has the reed cage and intake been changed? what compresion? It may just need tuned/jetted.

Not sure on compression. But yes the reed cage has been replaced with a carbon fiber unit. They have been working with the jets (doing plug chops). Plug looks good (when it is running). They cant check the full throttle plug color though since it cuts out....
