my zx50 issues

[sidthesloth]

I like to think of gt as she is keeping you well excercised. When you get her going good again you will appreciate it that little bit more. Mine still has more to give but will just have to wait until I have more money to spend on her. Though having said that, I will start back on the free and cheap stuff tomorrow and monday.

[thebatman]

yeah, she dam sure trys to keep me in practice.......thats what i as trying.....the free and cheap stuff!!!!!!.... now look at me     guess i need a slightly bigger carb before i can go on...maybe....if oil is problem, ported reed cage will get tried once more.    i could tell a bit of difference now that oem back in right now....        yeah., cash is becoming an issue with tunning... cost gets higher for sure..........   where the cheap priced parts..

[sidthesloth]

Careful, I tried cheap stuff, while it has been heart breaking frustration, it has also been a lot of fun learning. My cheap air filter decided to take a walk, now I gotta buy another, not so cheap after all.

[thebatman]

i had meant like a shim, ported cage, port the intake...that cheap stuff..    sh**, i still wonder if our variator isnt a issue with its heavy ass ......it was cheap...id swear it is..still cant get takeoff....

[sidthesloth]

Yeah, I think your ported cage is good, just make sure it is sealed. With the var. I am just going to use it for now, will go to 7 g rollers tomorrow and will look for 2000 fly springs to get more revs before take off. If I blow the clutch, I will be sure to let you know.

 Send me a pic of the top of your carb. I can send ya a people 50 one for cheap if it will work. The top throttle holder is missing had cut it off to adapt to my arrache so may not be a straight bolt on.

[sidthesloth]

Hey, thebatman, how did you go with the oil? Haven't heard yet, waiting for ya. I had mine apart today and changed the rollers, that variator isn't heavy at all. I finally put the 7's back in, massive increase in top.

Hey, batman, here is a link for the 4 valve reed that I am using. I think this is the wrong thread, but you will get it anyway.
