raise compression, good pipe, make sure your timing is on the mark and the points are clean and gapped correctly.

check for that leak and timing, gap is .016-.020, what hp model is it? if it's 1 or 1.5hp ditch the head gasket and intake port restriction if there is one, you may need to upjet a little to match, and an expansion chamber pipe that is good in the low end like the tecno estoril would help yeah.

get a performance pipe... proma gp..tecno estoril are good low-mid pipes. you could expierement with re-gearing. new hi-flow air filter to go with your new pipe. you will need to up jet when you get a pipe and air filter

your not going anywhere with that stock pipe. they suck. a proma gp is only $70 and air filter like $15 and you will be surprised how HUGE of a difference it makes.

i've never personally used a biturbo.. i've heard both good and bad about it. but my buddy has the proma and he loves it, it performs super good on his bike. i just ordered one today for myself.

alright, fair enough. While i've got you here, what sort of gear size/# of teeth is good for hilly areas.. keep in mind I dont _only_ want to go up hills, i just want to be able to do it without looking at my wristwatch.

and if you have an air leak..FIX IT! asap

mopedshop.com has the proma in stock...well atleast they did this morning. check now. $70!! super cheap for a good pipe. and no problem, i don't normally speak up in these threads i just lurk around and read. but definitely keep us updated.

good luck

before you go throwing upgrades on your ped...like you stated make sure that shit runs as good as it can stock FIRST

throwing upgrades on a bike is not the best way to fix problems as it will only alleviate the real underlying problem.

For a hill climbing e-50 I like the #1 cylinder, HC head, 14+ intake, 14 bing, proma GP, and 14X45 gearing. With this setup I'm hitting 33 at WOT on the flats and can climb 6% grades at 23-25 no problem. I live in a valley that's at 5600' above see level at the base and 10,000+ on the tops/sides; I've ridden to just over 8000' so far, so trust me I ride hills regularly. The same set-up with 18x45 is getting me over 40 but sucks up hills bad.

I don't like the estoril on a stock cylinder at all, and I tried both on the same set-up (last night); I'm actually starting to think I don't like it all but I'll have to see how it does on the Poliini and Metra 65's before I pass that judgment for sure. It's too quite too, I like loud poppy pipes.

Thanks derek, nice solid input right there. Do you have a head gasket? What about your intake gasket?
