I love them. You never seem them on the road. Especially ones that look that good.

I'm about 95% sure that is a Minerelli 2 Stroke engine. Also I know you like how un cluttered it is, but it also isnt finished (no spark plug wire, stator not hooked up, etc..)

Don't swap in a gy6 50cc swap, that engine is a piece compared to the ruckus 50cc. You could always swap to a 50cc 2 stroke and stay legalish. Then upgrade to the Stage6 Streetforce 70cc cylinder kit that had 49cc engraved on the out side of it, no one would ever know. Except the people you leave at stop lights while doing a wheelie once the light turns green.

We can adjust time, perhaps a few hours later.

Adjustments can be made, the lunch spot can be moved to downtown Norfolk which I think would make for a more fun, longer ride. But still long for you, but hey weBtryin.

This is completely unexceptable, if I can get so obliterated my buddies have to carry me up three flights of stairs and not be able to remember the previous night hardly what so ever and still get up early, drink some water, take a shower and be good to go. Well I'm sure you can manage, plus the gather is projected around 12PM (that means NOON time, when the sun is highest in the sky.) So Donkey Punch yourself buddy and come out. You know you wanna~!

This I can understand as I am an autocross junkie as well. But my car tends to be broken a good portion of every year lately.

We were right. Little piggy had an 80 (...yes a FUCKING 80!) in the main and had a 38 in the pilot. The kit had a 75(with the KEIHIN star on it so I'm thinking it was stock) and a 72. I went with the 72 since I'm 187 lbs and it's been hot/humid as of late. I looked through the box-o'-stuff that came with the ruck and there was only one PILOT jet in there. It was marked with a star like the stock stuff but the only stamp on it said "58". I took that to be the jet size and decided to stick with the 38. I guess I'm now in the market for a pilot jet kit.

BTW, cleaned the hell outta the carb. Here's a crotch-shot:

The 38 should be fine. You were only bogging down at the higher RPMs which means only the Main jet was to big. Plus with you going down a size in Main jet the little bit larger slow jet should actually work out perfect.

On a side nite, did you happen to check if they shimmed the needle at all?

It's actually doing that choking shit at low speeds now. Takes off fine, chokes between 10-25mph, Everything above 25mph is fine. If I go WOT it's not as bad but obviously I don't want to do that all the time.

No it wasn't shimmed and I was going to do it today but ran out of time to run to the store. To my understanding that riches the mixture in the mid range? (I read and bookmarked the How-to)

I just reset the ECU and took it for a test drive. Seems to have more power off the line. Thanks.
