Just got a 78 Maxi and wondering what should I upgrade first, the carb or the exhaust.

exhaust
Depends. Which carb and exhaust do you have now?
Just stock right now. basically don't wanna get run over if i take this on a main street.
what size is the stock carb? there were a few different ones. also does your bike have a horsepower # on the side?
exhaust than carb maybe both. Usually you don't see a major improvement with just a carb but a huge one with an exhaust
its a 1.5 i'll have to go peek at the carb to figure out which one it is.
yeah plan on doing a few upgrades just when I got the cash
1.5hp probably has the 12mm carb and 12mm intake, and a thick ass head gasket. remove the head gasket, get a pipe, remember to upjet the carb, bore the intake to 14mm or buy one, and/then a matching bigger carb.
heres some manuals and stuff:
Brett Walker has a whole list of things to do to a stock maxi to get them going faster without replacing any parts, or using different stock parts. email him or search back into the past.
