I’ve never wheelied. No desire to. The thought scares me honestly. You're better off. There's no good reason to do it and a smart rider wouldn't. TBH it scares me too. That's why I'm bad at it. I'm just dumb enough to hop it up anyway. |

Okay, no wheelies in part 3, then give us the full hero pose, coming out of the slow turn, immediately go full tuck and full throttle fly by the camera on the back straight moto gp style 🙂

  50 mile (roughly) plug. Rode a good 20 miles last night, it was damp out. Bike was breaking up at extended WOT. Seems to take off fine but once running awhile at WOT it starts dropping firings and gradually gets worse the longer it’s at WOT. Pull up to a stop sign and take off again and it’s fine until it settles down nicely at 40-45mph and WOT. Then it starts to miss slightly. Is this plug, too much fuel at WOT or fuel starvation? I’m still enjoying riding ‘round but this has me kinda stumped. |

I’m still enjoying riding ‘round but this has me kinda stumped. Ideally to really tell if it is correct at WOT you would have to run the bike at WOT for a bit and kill the iggy, take the plug out and then look at it. A short cut would be to tune by temp with your temp gauge. IMHO your temp should be over 300 under 350 at WOT and should be relatively stable. Remember a carb can easily be "in tune" at a given throttle position but completely "out of tune" at another position. IMHO it takes a lot of work and sometimes luck to get a carb completely in tune. |

If I full throttle my scoot without leaning hard on the bars it'll come up a little bit which doesn't bother me much but I don't understand people who wanna pull the wheel vertical and ride like that... I'm only a few miles from ScooterSwapShop and they do group rides regularly, but there's a lot of wheelies in their photos of the rides which makes me thing maybe I'm too old to enjoy riding with that group  |

As recommended, a full throttle then kill plug chop will display what is going on at full throttle. Use your temp gauge to get a decent idea about full throttle settings, should be close to 300 or 150 on your gauge at extended full pulls.

I don’t personally think 300 is jetted lean enough. For an iron cylinder go with 350.

guys ,is there some link for cheap temp gauges for cylinders?i live in europe Just Google "Trail Tech TTO , or KOSO Mini 4 Dual Temperature Gauge. You would need the right fitting for whatever type of engine you have. There are cheaper ones, but not as accurate. |

So I just watched 2STROKEstuffing’s video. He talked about fuel foaming in the bowl. What he said about fuel foaming is opposite of what I thought. I thought that fuel foaming would lead to gas starvation where he says fuel foaming leads to flooding. When the fuel foams up the floats sink to the bottom, causing excess fuel to pour in. Wondering if the Airbox with its extra mounting bolts stabilizes the carb causing less flopping around?

guys ,is there some link for cheap temp gauges for cylinders?i live in europe I like these ones off Amazon The probe screws off the end of the lead which is nice and it comes with two probes. Yooreal Engine Temperature... www.amazon.com/dp/B0BLMFH7NB?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share |

Still misfiring at high rpm. Takes off and runs at 10k rpms drop as CVT shifts, then it just misfires. Could it be a weak coil? This problem went away with a new spark plug and came back within a week.
Today I dropped jet size from 88-83 just to see, it ran exactly the same.

You could take the cap off the coil and see how far the spark would jump to ground from the lead. Do it when the bike is warmed up. That should give you an idea how strong the spark is.
Also make sure the ground for the coil is clean.
You should be able to check the coil resistance if you can find a spec for it.

A CDI going bad can do some weird stuff too. Easiest way to test is to swap a spare in.

So I just watched 2STROKEstuffing’s video. I wouldn't let his craziness creep into your troubleshooting. He is a masochist and a master of side-tracking himself. He is dealing with problems of his own creation. Luckily for us, we massage off the shelf kits and use them the way they were designed. He wins at 'enjoying the journey' and being a 'theorist' which is good because he isn't winning much else ( trophies ). |
