Piaggio 50 -- Need Jetting Advice

Post by Dragonfly11 »

Hello, All!
Please, let me know if a straight technical question is better-posted elsewhere, but I'm new to scootering and totally lost. I'm hoping that being a "noob" and a local (Sherwood Park) will buy me some good favour from the Edmonton community.

What I have:
2005 Piaggio Typhoon 50

What I put in:
Hebo 70cc top end
Hebo Racing crank

Came with:
6.5g rollers
Leo Vince Exhaust
Dellorto carb w/32 pilot jet /72 main jet
Blue clutch springs

What I'd like to know is, what's the stock main jet size for the Dellorto carb, and what size would you recommend for the setup I have?

Additionally, what are your recommendations vis-a-vis stock air box versus a less-restrictive aftermarket pod filter?

Any other advice pertaining to these modifications is, of course, welcome.

Thanks in advance!

PS ~ Paid $150 for this scooter with a cratered piston/jug. ~$400 in parts, and I hope to have a fun runner for my 15-y-o stepson.

CORRECTION

5.3g Rollers, NOT 6.5g

Hey ho, right now I have limited (and expensive) internet access. I 'm back tomorrow and will have a dig for you.

Just double checking a few things:

2005 so it is a 2 stroke top end, right?

Which Hebo kit? Racing?

Is the Dellorto carb the stock one? Or aftermarket?

If aftermarket, which one?

Stock or aftermarket exhaust?

The stock carb is one of two options:

Weber 12OM with a 76 main and a 34 idle

or,

Dellorto PHVA12 with a 87 main and a 34 idle.

What with the exhaust and the top end, you'll want to go bigger on both. How much depends on the porting.

So:

Which carb do you have?

Or, has a bigger aftermarket carb been fitted?

Which Hebo top end?

Which Leo Vinci exhaust?
