Carburetor problems

[Duffman]

I've been away from building motorized bikes for quite some time but just just purchased a high performance wildcat80 from Californiamotorbikes and have the engine running but I can't shut it down by choking the engine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Why didn’t you connect the kill switch?

 

[Duffman]

I installed a thumb throttle that didn't have one, I found out I had developed a leak where the reed housing attaches to the cylinder,fixed that and I'm using the pz16mm carburetor that came with the engine I adjusted the pilot jet and so far seems to be ok. Thanks for responding Greg 58

I have acquired a MZ65 pipe, the real deal and not sure if I should install or wait till I reduce the oil to fuel ratio as I'm still in the break in period any thoughts on that would be appreciated.

You may have to jet for the pipe, be warned they are loud without a silencer.

Thanks again Greg!
