i posted before that i had made a clutch mod that helps with engaging and disingaging, it also help with cooling and wear on the pads. so here it is.And heres a pic on my custom chopper, forgive the cruddy appearence, its a work is progress.

also im having trouble with my carb because i accidently made the jet size #60, which is around 10 sizes to big, so i ordered these
Mini Pocket Bike Performance Carburetor Jets 47cc 49cc:eBay Motors (item 170334539278 end time Jun-18-09 21:45:18 PDT)

it was cheaper to get these then buy one from dax, i was also debating on ordering a new carb from zoomcycle but decided to go with these for now, if they dont work, a new carb will. the problems im having is that it is flooding, i have the needle all the way down to the lowest clip hight and it still flood, ive even tried changing the float hieght, still nothing, so im just going to have to wait until the new jets show up.
ps i dont have any drill bitts that small to redrill it, ive even tried to see about getting some one to do it for me but its cheaper the get these or buy a new carb.

I drilled many more holes than that. Works well, I must admit. Also you should degrease yours and scuff it with a flat file.

thanks for the imput and the compliment, yesterday i found a out that i can get a hig performace pocket bike carb that you see on zoomcycle for $65 + S/H. i can get the same one for $50. i already have the new tuned pipe, dont have it installed yet due to im in town and not near my welder. i got it for $40. which you see on ebay for $30 plus like $45 shipping. so i got a good deal out of that one, also my pipe, doesnt have those flat bends in it, there nice and even curve, ill try and get a pic f it for yeahs. since i found a performance carb a dont really need the jets any more but they might come in handy with the new carb and pipe on, i also think im going to find a clutch with round puck not the square one and order those pucks easyrider has. then the slant head and when i have to money a shifter kit, and i have a very interesting way of installing it on my bike.

if you notice, i made the bike out of two. it has the front pedals. it also has the opening for another set of pedals. what im going to do it switch the sprockets over to the other side run a chain from to the other pedal set up. with this configuration i can pedal the chopper and use the shift kit with out any major tinkering, also im going to invest into a pullstart if i can find a site that doesnt charge an arm and a leg for them, and one that has them in stock.with all that done to the bike. When every thing is said and done, the bike cleaned up, painted new tires custom fenders headlight, working brake light and signal light, and maybe a custom gas tank to give it that chopper feel, i think ill have a very nice bike in the end.

Weird - I posted pictures in this thread before (or so I thought!).

Here's my drilled clutch plate set-up:

that will work too. i just did the 8 holes on mine just for experimental purposes, since it was a success i may drill some more, but it works, that good for me.

Either way seems to give good grip....I just can seem to dial my adjustment in.

joe-craft · #8 05-25-2009, 12:09 PM

why cant you? i have no trouble with mine at all? do u have the stock clutch? mine stock and i have no trouble adjusting it at all.

Pablo · #9 05-25-2009, 12:26 PM

okay so i got some extra money and was looking around ebay and found this. The carb and pipe are resonably priced so i think i will get them, i already have a pipe, but i think ill get this pipe cause i looks kool, the carb is better priced then the one i found in town so ill get it. also i sent in an order for my own slant head for the 80cc, i also odered an extra head gasket and cylinder bae gasket just in case. ill get pics when i have the bike all together. oh the pipe is $35 with S/H the carb $46 with S/H as well. my pipe was $40 and the carb this guy has in town is $50 without the filter so i though id go ahead and get these, might as well save as much money as i can. and some might know the head cost $23 so that a given. all in all $130 well spent if it gives me the perfomance im looking for.
