Here's the spigot carb mounted on the ch80, unfortunately this cheap carb isn't working out. The electronic choke has been giving me issues and I can't find replacement jets. I all ready have another carb ordered with a manual choke, hope it works out.

I've been trying out this carb on the ch80, it took a lot of trial and error getting the jetting right. I already road a few hundred miles with it, put a zip tie on the manual chock that leads up to under the seat. If I try to hit WOT off a dead stop it will cut out, so you have to roll into throttle. I guess that's just the nature of a round slide carb on a engine designed for a economical CV carb. My top speed has improved, I still might experiment with a larger main jet.

Before I put the new cover on I'm going to cut out some old foam and put it memory foam. Should be more comfortable when I'm done.

Thanks, I made a flange mount intake into a spigot mount. It's still only 18mm and the carb is a 18mm round slide, which is a huge upgrade from the stock 18mm cv carb. Someday I'll try to fit up a 20mm round slide...

Started shaving the edges and the top with the electric knife.

The final step is smoothing it out with a small grinding disc, I rounded off any edges that the electric knife couldn't do.
