Title: Like 50 2T Carb and Exhaust Combo
Post by: blackrod on September 09, 2013, 11:15:38 PM

Hello

I recently upgraded my 2011 Kymco Like 50 2T to have a Malossi 70cc cylinder and variator kit.  The last thing I want to do for now is upgrade my my carb and exhaust.

A couple of questions:

1. What brand and size come size carb come with the 2011 Kymco Like 50 2ST?
2.  What are the advantages to upgrading the existing carb to the PHBG 19mmMalossi Kit shown below:

3.  Lastly, I am going to upgrade to the Leovince SP3 Exhaust.  What is the advantage of upgrading to this exhaust over keeping the stock exhaust that came with the Kymco Like 50 2T?  I would like to improve acceleration at the lower speeds and top speeds.  However, improving lower speeds are more important being that I commute to/from work in the city.

Thanks so much for the feedback.  Also, any information on scooter mechanics are greatly appreciated.

Best,
Ross

19mm is recommended for the 70cc kit. The malossi kit you linked is bolt on, which is always nice

   Your stock carb is a Keihin PB 16mm with a #35 pilot jet, and #70-#82 main jet, 7WA slide, and 2RFMJ needle.
