Greetings:

Nice job, Baka-san. What setup on that SE50? It sure looks businesslike!

Now aren't you ashamed, humiliating all those Leviathan Italian scooters running 3 times your displacement? :wink:

Thanks, Baka. So you get all you need from a comparatively small 21mm OKO? I figured we were going overboard with those 28s (or a 30 in my case, but I got such a deal... :oops: ). Then again, I call VT and tell them Flash III's setup with a 24mm Mikuni and they insist I need a 28. :*:

OK, just for sake of discussion, what jets go in the 21 to achieve such competitive performance?

I used the 21mm carb because of rules for the class and bike. I could have used a 24mm or 28mm carb forthe 190cc open mod class but it would have taken me out of the moped /auto class. The carb wasn't working right and didn't have time to really dial it in good so I ran it rich enough to the point it 4cycled and backed it 1 down so a 112 main jet 52 pilot. THIS JETSETUP might NOT work for other guys because of other issues going on like I think the petcock is bad or there is something else. I have to tear the motor down and look inside.it ran at 412deg at its hottest

your setup will need the 28mm carb, for a 72cc i like the 24mm carb
