Modified intake......

I was wondering.....if anyone else had an issue with a modified intake which was neccessary on a frame such as mine.....so far I've seen one other person whom has the same bike and he also had to stretch the intake out and make it a side draft......off the line it sucks !....however......once you're going....it * Screams *........I've clocked a 34 MPH on a 49cc motor....which I don't think is cool....( blow it up ? )....does anyone think a 45 degree piece of electrical conduit might suffice ....or am I asking for even more issues ?... hit me up y'all ?.....

Thanks,

I have the same issue with mine, I'm going to be trying a smaller carb off a pocket bike, it's the same bore size but has no float, kinda like a weed eater carb, just waiting for it to show up in the mail.

i love the fit of the motor in that bike. nice and compact

would you please keep me informed as to how well it performs ?....I also thought of a weed eater carb and came upon the conclusion....the Shindaiwa carb has the EXACT same air cleaner.......design or insanity ?

Thanks,

Can you let me know if it works correctly ?...I swear I'm at my wits end.....off the line the accellaration sucks !.....sometimes I even have to pedal the ***** to keep going.....HELP !

I just posted this in another thread lol but;

I had a very similar problem with carb clearance on my frame, I found simply cutting the intake manifold would allow me to rotate it - changing the angle and canting it to the side. You need be careful however as if it's an aluminum intake, it's nearly a 1/4 inch thick sidewall and if the two halves aren't flush it will interrupt the flow and collect fuel. If it's a steel one, the step is so marginal it really doesn't matter much.

Another concern to be wary of is vibration, should you choose to extend the manifold - be careful to mount it (carb) securely to keep the shaking down, frothed fuel is not going to help performance lol






*My carburetor is more level than it appears in this pic - my camera was held by a slightly crooked person heh

You want your cake and eat it to? yeh me to. if it goes good up top expect it crap down low. maybe get a smaller rear sprocket.

Dang !......that looks like a solution and I happen to have a spare intake pipe......( I know what I'm going to do today )

buy a steel intake and do the same thing and weld it...good luck...Dennis
