After a bit of help as i'm limited in knowledge on this subject...
basically i went and bought a IK/cone filter for my (50cc) scooter today which, despite it size, i managed to get bolted on. Now unfortunately when i went to test ride it the bike almost dies on full throttle...thinking this was down to the filter i removed it (no filtration at all) but i still get the same problem.
Now what i want to know is, is it conceivable that the carb (it is a 50cc) can't supply enough fuel to match the air intake? I wouldn't have thought so but i've played with the adjustment screws with/without the cone on and i still get the same issue. Or do you think i just need to adjust again (i.e the engine can only take in as much as as it will use/can't 'throttle itself' on too much air despite being reset)?
:?
I'll be happy if it is just an adjustament issue 'cos otherwise thats 30quid on a car IK i've just wasted...
