Best street carb for 72cc

Post by Trafficjamz »

What size carb?
What brand.

Looking for ideas for a nice carb setup. 1/4 throttle to 3/4 throttle is no good on my 28mm oko.

Full throttle works great :)

If it helps, I am running a Dio ZX. Malossi cast 72cc big bore. Standard exhaust and standard carb (JDM Dio carb up jetted). All tuned along with malossi variator, belt, changed the trans gears. It runs really really well. It starts and runs like a standard dio, can be used daily, has a top speed of about 45mph. It is a great street daily driver setup.

This is obviously not an out right performance setup but gives you an idea what a standard-ish setup can do.

The pilot can be changed on the JDM AF18 Dio carbs. However, you can get a better aftermarket carb for the same price you'll pay. On the other hand, using the JDM carb gives you the option to run the corresponding throttle cable, airbox, intake, reeds etc....but if youre planning on using all stock parts, would you really need to change the pilot then?

Looks like SSS has one for sale on Fee-Bay http://www.ebay.com/itm/HONDA-dio-JAPAN ... 4902.l9144
I need to find some new haters...the ones I have are starting to like me.
