who was it that told you that/ fixed darrens /marks work
dazza and mark know what theyre doing so who fixed it again man?
No one 'fixed' it again. I sent just the basic engine to Mark. Once he did all the work he sent it back with a 122 jet. It ran crap and Mark would not have known the carby was bent. This was my fault because I replaced the carby base gasket prior to sending the engine to Mark and didn't realise there was a proper way to tighten it.
Then as a precaution I gave it to a reputable scooter shop (Scooter Style in Noosa) to tune the new carby. All they discovered was with the filter drilled out (even beyond just two holes) it was taking a 140 jet just to get a plug that wasn't white.
The undrilled filter ran a nice plug at 125 and would probably also run safe with a 122.
I did the filter mod about 12 months before Mark did all this engine work and it ran a very nice plug with lots of 100kph journeys.
They're the facts.
This is my opinion: It just appears that the combination of the work done AND this filter mod is not a good combination.
