Title: humidity went way down and scoot ran better.
Post by: sirrealism on October 09, 2010, 12:26:26 PM

this forum is the best. ok last week humidity went way down with our first cold snapp "if 65 is cold to anyone but sure was a break from the high 90s" anyway I noticed the scoot running better. 3-4 miles an hour better. last 3 days temps are still down but humidity went back up to normal and the scoot went back to the way it was. I think this would mean to jet up because when the humidity is up I have more air and not as much fuel due to the extra water in  the air. any thoughts????? dont want to go the wrong way.     Thanks all 

Tampa fl       God I so want feul injection to solve these problems. I admit I am good with new cars but carberators :P

High humidity will make the air-fuel mixture richer, so you should change to smaller jets.

  More water in the air = less oxygen to burn with fuel. You could also try to let more air in through airbox.

thanks art. already have just the k&n filter and no airbox. I built a ram air system and put it on but it faled because of forgeting to conect the vacume line back on the carb. at the time I had jetted up to a 101 wich was to big so I had to jet back. runs pretty good now the way it is. I will try the ram air system again this week.    oh ya these things dont corner like a sport bike. I dumped it this weekend. dont know if I should post it but my friend took vidio of my cleaning my wounds or road rash lol.  maybe a little to much bad language on it but its on youtube already lol

Glad a little road rash was all you ended up with.  Hope the scoot wasn't maimed too much.

Can't say I want to watch you wash down your wounds - did they catch the actual wipeout on video?

nope didnt catch the acident. just the clean up and the pain on my face lol. feel much better already. have a sore toe lol the rest of the rash looks big but its not deep at all..      scoot is fine couple scratches gives it a little personality lol  plus i think it has been down on that side before. or someone trying to keep the motor cool because the plastic on the right is cut right at the back footrest so the frame took almost  all the load. i drove it to my freinds place  to clean up.

Glad the scoot made it through.  A little extra personality you say?

And what are friends for if not to be there to document your life at times of suffering...

So you just took the turn too fast? 

Reminds me to wear my boots when I ride!
