Race Talk / Probably gonna go stupid with the bore
« on: August 26, 2021, 10:35:01 PM »
There are 63mm cylinders for 54mm bolt spacing. Also found a 4v head that even uses possibly the same cam (y shaped rocker) so if I'm lucky I'll run my a9. The head fits on a 63mm bore with 54mm spacing. I do love an over-square motor, gimme all them rpms. It looks like it uses the same size gy6 valves just twice as many.

The bore is like 50 bucks for the jug, pison, rings, gaskets. The head is over 400 for the complete head and valve cover. So bore first, running the big valve head that came with my current 72cc setup

I am fully aware the crank is eventually gonna pop. Offerings to the gods of speed. Gotta look into something that can handle stupid rpms, like aiming for 12k. The kymco crank is high quality but I'm really pushing it with that giant piston. If I do upgrade I'd like to keep it at the same stroke, maybe go up to 200cc but idk.

Has anyone done this? Aside from boring/rotary grinding the case, what should I expect to deal with?

There will be a steel pan under the seat to protect myself from catastrophic engine failure shrapnel

Gonna make a new engine cover/cooling duct for the cylinder and probably get a fan with curved blades instead of the cheesy factory ones. Maybe a leaf blower impeller lol

I'll step up the carb too, running 22mm now, gotta figure out what size I want n get the jet kit

Race Talk / Lol who's got the fastest super 8 50?

Simple enough, whatever you did to it, short a whole engine swap, let's hear some results. Verification would be cool too however you can manage.

Race Talk / Anyone know how to convert 8 pin cdi to 6?
« on: November 24, 2019, 01:34:41 PM »
Heavily modified 72cc super 8 50r, looking to convert to standardized aftermarket 6 pin cdi's that flood Amazon. I bought a new 6 pin hardness for an easy plug in. I'm just not sure if the 8 pin was dc or ac stock in the scooter. It's a 2015 so I'm gonna guess ac. I think I'll have it running in a day but I'm hoping somebody has done this and can let me know if I need anything additional or hey if you could spot me a diagram that'd be great lol

Super 8 / Just ordered a9 cam, where can i find springs?
« on: December 20, 2016, 02:34:29 PM »
As title says. Im looking for stiffer valve springs, i plan to hit very high rpm. I know theres more to it than that, im just tackling this step by step, and i dont need valve float to create an unholy union of piston and valve.

I dont know WHERE to find springs though, has anyone found any? Or even know of valve springs from other vehicles that are easier to find? Im hoping for 11k-12k rpm operation SAFELY

Super 8 / Limiters i have found so far on s8 50 4 stroke
« on: November 13, 2016, 01:30:44 PM »
The muffler has a cat built in, i chopped it off and fashioned a megaphone from an empty 88g co2 cannister, if you have access to a welder this is a great way to go, i shoot wonderful exhaust flames

I clipped the purple wire, i noticed a power gain for sure but i still have a rev limiter. At this point i can reach 37 mph before it starts popping and cackling. Im not sure what was interuppted by that purple wire but i can attest to a definite POWER change, NOT a TOP SPEED change.

biggest difference of ALL though, was a sneaky little restrictor washer in the intake manifold. Before removing i, i found that wide open throttle caused a bog, it was difficult to accelerate at the same pace as traffic, uphill was a challenge at 15 mph grunting like a depressed pig.
since i removed the washer, the engine starts easier, runs better, doesnt die at idle, and i can hold 30 mph up hill now

Next step is the variator boss

Super 8 / Carb adjustment s8 50x 4 stroke?
« on: October 24, 2016, 02:59:59 PM »
I just bought a 2015 white s8 50x, hit 27 on the way home, clipped the rpm limiter wire and hit 37, eliminated the pcv, now have only 1 vacuum line directly to the fuel petcock, managed to get her up to 38 downhill, shell do 34ish on a flat depending on wind direction (+ or - 1mph)

Ive noticed that it bogs at WOT until the cvt maxes out. Once the rpms start to climb its less of a dance with the throttle sweet spot, and the only time i can hold WOT is at peak rpm. Also cold starting is a pain, and it even dies out at idle on occasion.

This tells me i am overall running lean

Problem is I CANNOT FIND THE MIX SCREW. The plastics are in the way, its hard to get a good look, but it looks like there isnt one at all.

Im sure i need to rejet for the high rpm problem but the idle is killing me, and i hate using the throttle stop screw to raise idle. Also i want to get more vacuum so the thing keeps fuel going, i really dislike vacuum petcocks.

Can someone either tell me where the sneaky little screw is or confirm my outrageous suspicion that there isnt one at all? Im used to running mikuni round slides on my single cylinders and this carb threw me a curve ball
