So it's been a while since I've posted anything, but now I'm trying to get to 40mph. I've had some success with my first MB, and even managed to hit 40mph on a massive downhill but I want to be able to get to 40 on the flats. I live in Lakewood, CO, so big hills are more common than potheads. Lol. With that said, TORQUE! is a necessity!
So I have a genesis 29er mtn bike with a ?66cc chinagirl?...ebay... maxxis hookworm tires, upgraded wheels/spokes, cut piston skirt only enough to clear intake port. modified '03? Yz80 exhaust, ht speed carb, 48t sprocket from http://www.bicycledesigner.com
With the adapter to the disc brake hub. I have a parts bike that a buddy gave me so I will soon have rear disc brakes as well as fronts. Woot!
So here's the problem... I thought my header was too long, (4-5") felt like the powerband came on at 17ish mph then topped out at 33mph. Which was great! Very good low/mid, but then it just stopped pulling? So I rejet the carb... again and again thinking this will help. No luck.
Shortened the header to 2" and lose 2mph? Rejet carb again and again... lose another 2mph? Wtf?
Anyway, I would like to get a little faster
So please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
