Hello got a prob rode my qt into the ground always wide open, 40 miler a day and need to do high 30's atleast. Put a uni filter on my qt50 and three days later bam, now I need a new cylinder and was wondering what the feed back is? yamaha part vs. brandx. I need to go fast, but not break, was going over 30 really wanna do 35 consistant. Did my uni filter have something to do with that, because i had to put the air screw in all the way.
thanks sam
if you put a hi flow filter on and didnt upjet thats why you siezed. you should do a little more reading before you think about getting a kit.
well....
Did you upjet your carb at all when putting on that airfilter?
More Air = Needs more fuel/oil.
Did you seize? what happened to the cylinder?
the cylinder got scared by one of the rings coming apart. did not know I needed to upjet. shit.
i was told by someone to adjust the air-flow, did not really know enough about jetting. Also the yamaha dealer did not have a listing on qt50, where can i get some jets. would like to get my ped together asap, but know im worried i dont know enough and dont want to waste anymore money.please help..newbie
I think most yamaha nopeds ran kehin carbs. I'm not sure what brand of jets those take. I think maybe regular dellorto jets? Maybe?
yamaha runs mikuni carburetors, not kehin.
any competent yamaha dealer should have no problem getting you parts.
pretty much any motorcycle dealer should be able to get you mikuni carburetor jets
jon whats a good starting point as far as sizes go? sorry i dont know shit.
thanks for the help you guys.
A good starting point would be checking to see what size jet you have in there now. Sorry about the bad direction with the kehin comment.
assuming the carburetor has the stock jet in it, you should have a 70 in there now(you should check to be sure). the mikuni jets come in 2.5 increments. assuming you have the 70 in there now, get yourself a 75 and a 72.5, do some plug chops, and see how the bike performs.
jon thanks for the starting point still dont even know what a plug chop is. i am real new at this and trying to learn. thanks for being cool
not everything here is applicable to the qt, but this is "fred's guide," a good primer for moped repair:
