Thanks Eric for your advice. Did the carb. rebuild on the 72 Rally. It was easier than I thought. I put in a new main jet 109 and have a 107 if that isn't right. New gaskets,filter, float and needle seemed to help too. Started after the first kick when everything was back together. There maybe an issue with the Oil device since I took that apart. A lot of smoke at higher speeds but I noticed a little gas leak at the carb do to the screws and bolts not tighten enough. Plus reading one of the other topics about the oil leak on the P-200 by the air mixer screw someone said that it's a good idea to get the rubber plug there and that may help the situation. Two weeks ago I was ready to give up on this scooter. Thanks Eric and the MV members for not letting me give up on this great scooter. Chilly
