MOPED ARMY

id say a 68.

I say no jet at all. Better safe than sorry, and no jet is definitely the biggest you can get.

Randy,

I'm not a member. Don't confuse people who post on the board with members. The members of the Moped Army are the ones with little pictures by their names.

Do you ever get people who come up to you and ask a question that everyone asks? A question that could be answered simply by opening their eyes and looking around? There are countless threads on this board about what size jets to run, and you are running _the_ most common performance combo for beginners! The information is here. You even know enough to say "I know about the plug chops but was hoping I might find some one who could help me skip that step." Aside from plug chop, there is nothing else that can tell you what size jet to run and be accurate

You want to skip the most important step, and you know it. That's just lazy all around. Too lazy to search, to lazy to plug chop. It's been my experience that if I told you to run a 68, you would just run the first jet you can find that is bigger and call it good.

You expect a bit of teasing if you are asking this kind of question.

only straight AJ though. that mixing shit makes no sense.

Well i do have to say thank you for the professional manner in which you dispensed your reply. I am running "the most common performance combo for beginners" Thats because I am a Beginner. Amazing how that works huh. Obviously I am aware that the info is in some thread out there but against all assumptions I didn't try to skip the plug chops all together. Nor was it out of laziness, more so due to a lack of available time to devote to my moped. We do share one thing in common, we have problems with the threads. I don't spend enough time reading them and it sounds like you may spend to much. I have had people come to me and ask the same obvious questions over and over, and it is frustrating. But I have never tried to make someone feel dumb for asking. The inherent problem with your argument is that I'm not everyone. I'm just one guy. A guy who is going to take the information offered and do my plug chops. But maybe i wont have to do as many as i would have if i just blindly started on my own. Nice how that works huh.

I have just started working on a 79 Maxi 2sp this year. 1st ped.

I have installed a 15mm bing with a 14.5mm intake and biturbo exhaust. I had to fab a riser to make the carb sit level.

The carb came with an 82 jet. I have gone down to a 78, and have yet to put any kind of air filter on it. It still seems to be 4-stroking slightly at top end.

68 to 74 might work well for you. Just be careful about going to low, it's fast but risky.

Internet theories aside,

Jake - I have posted many helpful comments, and try to help everyone to enjoy learning to fix their own mopeds. I've never had a problem with you, and I respect you running your own moped parts business, it's tough to run a business and be responsible. Your suggested jetting I would wager, is right on.

Ben - A guy can't joke around? Who would seriously think running no jet would be the best bet? Who wants a boring question and answer forum? Everyone should have to read a FAQ before they can post. I'm not commenting on Randy specifically, but I"m willing to bet that 75% of people here who modify their Tomos or Puch mopeds are running an incorrect jetting. I am a moped snob, but I'm the nicest most friendly moped snob you will ever meet in real life. Just refer to the internet theory when trying to understand my post.

Oh, and apple juice really does help cure knock and ping, so add some if you advance your timing.
