ditched hi-flow air filter

my puch has had a non existent low end for awhile and i've tried everything and have come up empty. so, i decided to loose the hi-flow filter and put the stock one back for shits and giggles. well, problem solved. too much air flow. low end is back, moped wants to get up and go! only now... opposite problem. i've lost a lot of that high end power. i've been running a 15mm bing, 15 intake, proma gp. jetted at an 82.

before i ditched the filter, i was hitting about 35-38. now, i'm down to about 30-32... what the heck?! is this normal? also, noticed that sometimes it wants to do around twenty, top speed seems to vary alot. is it not getting enough air now? any help, suggestions appreciated. thanks -Hayden

Re: ditched hi-flow air filter

and you're jetting as you change the filters? So it's 82 with the stock filter, and what with the high flow?

Choke plate is all the way up yes?

Down jet! You should be running like a 72 or 74 with a that setup.

with the hi-flow 82 was still about right. tried all through the 70's- too lean, higher 80's too rich and it would bog down at low speeds. with the stock filter, 82 still works, tried tuning #'s both ways again. it's weird i know, which makes me think there might be another problem somewhere.

that's what everyone has told me too. tried it... waaaaaaay too lean. i know something's wrong here, i just don't know what.

Re: ditched hi-flow air filter

If you are crazy lean with a stock filter then you have an airleak somewhere...or you need new seals.

would a leak explain the inconsistent power at wot? how would i diagnose where the leak is coming from? thanks.

Re: ditched hi-flow air filter

Yes it would.

Ok, so get a can of carb cleaner and start spraying it at your motor(while its running) on every surface where two metals come together.

Head/cylinder, cylinder/case, intake/cylinder, carb/intake
