I'm about to try to move my carb to, say, the rear panier rack. (it should be below the fuel petcock i hope) Half the reason to move it is to have room to experiment with intake mufflers. The other half of the reason is to increase the runner length from carb to motor (maybe 8 inches longer). This should boost power in the lower RPMs.
My "problem" is that I live in hill country. Lots of rolly-polly up and downs, and there is never a time that I'm flat out on the flats. Either the motor is over-revving or bogging down. So if the powerband could be broadened a bit so that the other half of the time it isn't bogging...sweet! The other half of the time is gravity assist, and the 44t, "80cc" is into it's sweet spot at 30mph.
I remember one post with a (ridulously long) runner length of three feet with undesirable characteristics. But going from 4 to 12 inches? hmmmm, should work, right?
