High Altitude Main Jets

Post by dmshar5 »

Hi all, just bought a 2020 Buddy 50 with a performance exhaust. I live in Denver at an elevation of 5280’, this scooter came from VA, which is close to sea level, what is the correct carburetor main jet for this elevation? Thanks

You don't have to rejet a stock Buddy 50 at Colorado altitude. It will run a tad rich, but that's better than running lean. If you start trying to chase the air/carb/exhaust game, that's a different story.
