Agree'd to try & tune a friend's carburetor the other day & I was quite surprised when I saw the bike. There is no intake; the carburetor mounts straight to the cylinder (similar to a low-end GoPed). Is this an advantage or disadvantage when it comes to power?
Says he bought the bike used, so he don't know where that motor came from (no names, stickers, or anything. It's just a 48cc slant). Anyone ever come across something like that?
Edit: The carburetor seems the same as the intake ones, except for the two bolts going through it and it has like a bleeder line coming out just above the float bowl. It also has a little valve on it near the gas line with a plastic white handle which you'd think would be a shutoff valve, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
