Hello all im kinda new to this i have just aquired a schwinn mountain bike from a good friend with a flyinghorse 66cc engine kit. I helped build the bike from the start and he kinda lost interest so here i am. i have been doing some modifacations to the bike over the past few weeks in hopes of finding higher speeds but so far most have been like back steps i curently have been fighting with a cns carb i have it set as lean as it will go but it still is running so rich it bogs on top end. i have not replaced the stock exhaust yet but as soon as SickBikeParts gets some in im planing on getting a expansion chamber. any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks I'm not looking for much more than to be able to run a consistent 30 mph I think 40 would be pushing the stability of a bike :p as far as the law goes I am the mechanic at the city shop I work on all the police cars they don't mess with me to much. I swapped from the NT carb because I read about the cns having better throttle response. But it has been nothing but a headache so far.
