  • This update covers carburetor and CVT transmission tuning, airbox restriction removal, and a Keihin PD19J carb swap. I go through the steps of getting a stock scooter in a good basic form of tune with an easy method and show how to remove the restriction from the air box's inlet. The tuning method is good for any scooter owner. I often use the same process on my two-strokes.

    Great videos. A little over a week ago, I bought a dead scooter for a couple hundred bucks and knew nothing about it. Now I've got it running like a top, with no outside help whatsoever. And, I'm confident I can keep it going should anything else spring up. Thanks a ton. Cheers.

    Finally video's with some great information, I love scooter tuning and although I have a 2 stroke high performance speedfight your idea's are simple but at the same time brilliant if you don't have access to a rolling road.
    Its nice to see someone who isn't barking on about doing 80mph but brilliant tuning tips and if your getting into tuning your scooter I would deffo watch these videos as they make a lot of sense even I got alot of tips and Ive been into tuning since I was 16 and had a AR 50 20 yrs ago. All I can say is great work keep it up as your tips are spot on and well shown.

    @49ccscoot  Před 11 lety

    Thanks. This one is running hotter CHT than my 2Ts. My 2Ts stick more around 300-350WOT according to my gauges... but then I also don't have to run them wide open all the time when cruising at 30-35, so the 4T is seeing a lot long WOT times. The probe is about 11-12" from the header, maybe 1-2 o'clock position, about 3/4" spaced up to not block the small pipe off (pics on forum). It would work on a 2T, but oil is hard on the sensor and a special adapter (Koso) should be used. Never tried it.

  • @covid-20lit41

  • @49ccscoot
    @49ccscoot  Před 10 lety

    As long as there is no leak where you sealed off the head, should be no trouble with PAIR removal and tune. Take a look at the plug. Easy enough to see if it's fouled. If you run it WOT first and shut the engine off, coast in or ideally brake so the engine totally stops. Then when you look at the plug you'll be able to see if it's wet or dry to give you more clues. Check grounds and other connections. Make sure the plug boot and wire are secure.

  • @49ccscoot
    @49ccscoot  Před 10 lety

    It won't usually close until everything starts rotating. You can turn the pulleys by hand sorta feeding the belt while the engine is off and you should see that it starts working it's way out... or make sur ethe belt clears the cover and bolt it back on then start the engine. Let it run a few seconds and shut it off and re-check if you'd like. If it stays there after the engine is running, then there's a problem.

    I took the pair block off plate off. Looks sealed good. Maybe I spray witb carb cleaner see if it idles up. There are only 2 grounds on the bike at the v cvr. Maybe the other end came loose . The bike ran great plug chop had been done. I did move up some jet sizes thinking that was problem becaus temp has dropped here but that did not remedy. Gonna check grounds again and change pluv. Tha ks for the help

  • @jamest.5001
    @jamest.5001 Před 3 lety

    I ported my intake , opening up the 90° turn mostly, but the main issue was port matching, the ports were off substantially! Nearly 1/4 of the port, I bought a new intake, it was considerably smaller, and had a major reduction in size around the 90° bend, it was about 14mm, just over 1/2", like the tip of my lil finger ! I opened it up a bit, but it was nothing near the size of another I had, so I ported it and matched it to the head, I would like for it to be about 2mm larger around the 90° bend, with a nice sweep, it fits the carb and head nicely, I straightened the port under the valves, and blended around the valve guides, id like to eventually go to the 52mm bore, and 44mm stroke, maybe get crazy with some machining, and move to a 57 mm bore, should be 100cc plus a couple right? I haven't done the maths, maybe 98-99cc but no replacement for displacement! It would be cheaper and easier to just swap in a 150cc, (with a big bore),

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  Před 3 lety

      You'd have about 112cc if you could make a 57mm bore fit. All said and done, I'd guess you'd fair better swapping in a GY6 150. A lot of people have had enough trouble with reliability with even the 52.4mm bores. I'd also assume you'd have pretty much no material between the bore and the studs at that point, if there's enough room to do it at all.

    Stephanie Spangler (can't reply to your message) : If you watch @ 6:56 or so I said I changed to a 90 main jet in the stock carb so it worked with the more open airbox. In stock form my stock carb had a 79 main jet. Most use 32-35 pilot jets stock.

      ***** u were right im still fukin with this carb.the fuel mixture screw is too far out smaller pilot? i did what ur video said on fuel idle mixture adj.

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  Před 9 lety +1

      If the mix screw is way out, try a larger pilot jet. On these carbs it controls fuel so when it's out it's letting more fuel pass and if it's in it's blocking off the fuel passage more.

    Shouldn't be like a mirror, but they aren't usually as rough as you'd think. Rough it up with some sandpaper or emery cloth. Give the clutch shoes a quick once over as well. Clean both with brake parts cleaner before you reinstall.

  • @jamest.5001
    @jamest.5001 Před 3 lety

    Awesome! Long intake runners helps car engines make more low to mid range TQ, has anyone heard of someone adding length to the intake of these scooters? Either a 1" spacer under the intake, or a pipe and boot between carb and intake , or both? Being these little guys sound their day at near full throttle, it may not help with top speed, however maybe it could help get ya there quicker?? If done properly maybe it could help top end slightly,

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  Před 3 lety

      I'm sure it has been tried, but it's not a common mod. Most intake mods are due to fit or port/carb diameter changes. With these engines, gains at low RPM aren't usually worth a lot because the CVT keeps them at fairly high RPM so much. For all out performance, the best bet is usually to focus on making the CVT hold RPM the best you can at WOT and focus power making efforts on a somewhat narrow range.

  • @jamikaynelson
    @jamikaynelson Před 10 lety

    My rear clutch stay open. I used my fingers to smash it open so I could take the belt off. Well it stayed that with the belt riding all the way down in the rear clutch groove . I just put it back together that way. Now I realise there is something majorly wrong. I was in there and replaced the variator. But I am certain the contra spring shojld make clutch snap closed?

  • @kkzxxx
    @kkzxxx Před 10 lety

    I think the reason for not gaining any power after the airbox restriction removal is that doing so, u increased the pressure to the venturi and thus lowered the velocity of air, so ur carb was getting about same amount of air but dint pull same amount of fuel thru the jet.
    More about it here: www.vmaxoutlaw.com/tech/airbox_mods.htm

  • @vorkev1
    @vorkev1 Před 11 lety

    one thing you did was removed the hose from the air box do not do this instead leave the house with the cap for stability and remove the filter in the air box. after removeing the stock fome filter buy a 38mm coin filter and slip it over the end of the hose you removed this way you will get more airflow and better performance the stock fome filter restricts air intake but in most cases you still need the hose and box

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  Před 7 lety

      Lighter roller weights are usually the easiest option to help them pull hills a little easier. A big bore kit really makes a difference in power though, and should be a nice mod for anyone needing to climb hills.

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  Před 7 lety

      You could try cleaning it first and adjusting the idle settings. If it's a stock carb, it may be just as well to replace it with something that has an adjustable needle and no sealing methods.

I put a 50mm/100cc bbk on it with performance valve head ngk spark plug racing coil/cdi and a 20mm carburetor Stock jets airbox/ exhaust about to upjet tring 90# than maybe 88. Timing set tdc gaps at .005.. Im having "cold" start issues i have to hand choke it for it to start once its warm it starts fine. Runs good i think but i dont have any real experience. Also from a cold start there is a small/low metallic sound upon start up and high revs right after start up. It goes away fast. Im told some performance heads sound like that idk?.. Could the cold start be just jets or air/fule (set 2 1/2 out) cold outside small stuff like that

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  Před 8 lety

      +michael paradise 19-20mm without the factory sealing would be fine. Pretty much any that you buy shouldn't be sealed. That's only on scoots to meet EPA regulations. You can find them on ebay and from places like www.partsforscooters.com/?partner=49CCSCOOT . Keihin is good if you can find one at a reasonable price, but even the knockoffs do fine for most. Just the sealed stuff without adjustable needles should be ditched.

    so after installing the pdj19 keihin I noticed my plug fouled black...should I be adjusting the screw on the carb to the left or right? is lean responsible for the foul or rich? does turning the screw to the left make the carb leaner or richer...sorry for my ignorance....

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  Před 7 lety

      Rich fouls plugs. Lean would leave it clean. Turning the screw in would lean the idle mixture. You may have to go over the whole tune, not just the screw. Here's a bunch of info : www.49ccscoot.com/faq/carbtune.html

    I have a 90 2001 Polaris scrambler I picked up for my son.im not rich but try to give him stuff I did not have.i got it running great then all of a sudden it stopped!spark is good and consistent.seems to be lacking some fuel.when I spray propane in you can hear it try to start.can the card get messed up that fast?there is a fuel filter on it.

    • @49ccscoot

      Check the whole fuel route. Could be as simple as a pinched hose. Make sure hoses are good when weight is on the ATV.

    where did you get that tach? hhow did ou install it so nicely? also I have a question, the air intake hose has come off my carb. and for the life of me i can NOT get both ends of the carb connected to both hoses. I was thinking an easy fix would be to buy those little cone shaped air filter, but i know when theres too much air they dont run, any tips?

      +Nicholas Butler Here's some info on the gauge : 49ccscoot.proboards.com/thread/8614/trail-tech-vapor-information-installation
      Try loosening the mount bolts for the airbox then installing the hose and maybe you'll be able to attach it all and get the bolts tightened again that way.

      Big bore kit is the best mod IMO. Makes quite a bit more power at a reasonable price. Tune the carb and CVT when the BBK is done.

    Hello and thank you for these great videos I have a crazy question maybe you could answer, I bought two of the same scooters one of them does 43 mph right out the box which is crazy? But the other oneCan barely hit 25 what would you recommend I try?I have changed the plug,carb,cdi, and that fuel vacuum thing to no avail. can you recommend anything else because that particular one is still super slow?

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  Před rokem

      Have you tried any of the parts from the faster on on the slower one? Like, did you try it's carb or just a general replacement carb? It could be as simple as a tuning difference. Could be that one has a restriction somewhere. Could be a defect, like maybe one has low compression.

    • @paultoomey7016

    Great videos. I bought a new taotao and did replaced almost everything you replaced. It runs way better now. I can’t seem to find the KeiHin carb online and if I do I find, I can only find the cheap ones that looks nothing like yours. I know you bought yours from a local store. But did you find any legit Keihin carbs online?

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  Před 6 lety

      I bought mine from an eBay seller, but they no longer have them. The Keihin part isn't essential. I actually think most replacement carbs that are fully adjustable would do fine. The stock carb wouldn't bother me if it were adjustable, but finding the right needle wasn't worth it to me. Easier to get a whole new carb.

    I need your help I rebuild my gy6 50 from top to bottom all new parts . I need to ask you about a 21mm pwk carb. And the best air filter I can buy as the carbs on the bikes don't last me long . I have had like 3 carbs over the last 3 years . I will try to hit up your tip jar soon . And thanks much

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  Před 2 lety

      Some of the folks on the forum could give you better advice with the PWK. I have never used one. If you get a quality brand... like Keihin or OKO for example, then it should last for years. I've used UNI pod filters, usually the dual layer, and K&N filters on 50-150 4Ts without issue, though I prefer the foam UNIs. There's no reason that combo should need to be replaced regularly. As far as what jetting to start out with on something like that, I have no idea. Again, no experience there. I have heard forum members say that acceleration is dramatically improved when you get rid of the CV carbs though.

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  Před 7 lety

      Can't tell you for sure, I can only guess it may have the same 5g rollers that I had in my 2013. 5g sliders are a popular choice for getting the revs up a little.

  • @123ericsb
    @123ericsb Před 7 lety

    Just curious about your tire. In the videos you accelerate through wet grass and then out of a puddle on the road. What kind of tires would you recommend for wet street conditions? Awesome instructional videos!

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  Před 7 lety

      This thing is underpowered and I'm heavy, so it's not so demanding for traction, but I'm just using cheap Kenda K329s and I had Vee Rubber on the rear at one point. My two-strokes have more traction issues, and I've had good results with Michelin Pilots on them. Lots of tires work pretty well, but stay away from max performance dry weather tires. Michelin Boppers are probably the worst I've had. My first 70cc would spin the tire bad in the rain with one of those on the back.

    • @123ericsb

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  Před 4 lety +1

      Temp will depend on your gauge setup to some degree. With any of my CHT gauges I tend to get used to the range it runs in when in tune and anything significantly higher is an issue. Peak power for me was 7800-8200 so there really wouldn't be a need to rev too much higher. Valve float is somewhere above 10,000RPM for most of these.

    You changed the main jet to 75, what did you set the pilot/ idle jet to? Also, I am a big guy, 230lbs., what slider or roller weights which you suggest just to go 35mph on flat roads?

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  Před 7 lety

      I made no change to the pilot jet because it was not necessary. The mixture screw was able to control idle mixture just fine. I'm close to 300lbs so what I used here may be close for you. There's no 1 right answer, especially since contra spring stiffness can vary.

  • @ludditeneaderthal
    @ludditeneaderthal Před 6 lety

    is there a reason you don't do plug chops? is it just the wide band O2 sensor tells you about what a chop would?

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  Před 6 lety +1

      I don't really do 'em on scoots without the sensor (all the rest I've ever owned or tuned). I find them unnecessary and expensive, since real plug chops involve cutting up spark plugs after one test run. The exception being if something is particularly confusing or difficult to me and I need all of the help I can get.

    • @49ccscoot

      The accelrator pump causes issues on some of these. You can try adjusting the mix screw and see if there's any improvement or try changing needle settings.

  • @looneyrooney4988
    @looneyrooney4988 Před 5 lety

    What all modifications can I do now that I dont have a rev limiter, a rebuildable carb, & went from a 50cc to a 80cc BBK? There isnt a pink wire on the cdi box & the carburetor filter is gone along with the air box restriction. What all do I need to do since I installed a 80cc BBK

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  Před 5 lety

      Put the filter back in the airbox. No filter will reduce engine life and it's really not gonna cost you much or any power if it's clean. Tune the carburetor.
      Then it sounds like a good time to work on the CVT. At least tuning with weights and springs. Maybe try a performance variator.
      Many also like the gains with an A9 cam.

    • @looneyrooney4988
      @looneyrooney4988 Před 5 lety

      I went & bought a A9 cam when I had the 50cc head & jug & didnt see any hp gain anywhere. But when I got the 80cc I felt a good hp gain with the A9 cam. I will get a new filter for the box soon. I have factory sliders from a 150cc I had at 1 time but they wont fit a 50cc variator but I wished they would. Do you know what gram is factory for a 50cc? I have blue rpm springs but no blue contra spring. I also have a new belt ordered and waiting on it. The factory belt busted at 11,000 kilometers & I think its because of the clutch. The clutch & variator housing is a poor design. The inlet hole is allowing water to get into the belt, clutch &, variator casing causing rust to collect on the clutch. I made a snorkel for the airbox to stop water from getting into the box. I did little mods but isnt much. It didnt like being rode in the rain. So the snorkel for air box & tape on the inlet hole of the clutch worked but I dont like clogging the hole so Im working on snorkeling that as well so no water can get in. If I ride in that puddle like you did it wouldnt make it out!
