70cc Upgrade
Hi All,
I have a 50cc BlackCat. Looking to perform the 70cc cylinder upgrade myself. I have searched several threads here on MB....Anyone know of a detailed thread or video online showing the steps?
Thanks in advance and hope everyone's Turkey Day was good.

Update:
Molassi 70cc cylinder
Molassi variator, 7 gram weights
Molassi 19mm Carb
new belt
102 jet
So far, so good. I have put about 75 miles on the new kit. Quick off the line and I actually haven't been WOT yet. I have a couple hundred more miles of break-in. I am really happy with the upgrades. However, it seems harder to start (kick start, battery dead) and I have a strange "whining" noise when I let off the throttle and the engine slows down. The noise sounds like it comes from the front panel area. Not a huge deal just a bit anoying.
I will keep everyone updated on the comple break-in and beyond.

i have not heard of anyone sourcing a aftermarket manifold. someone on genuinerattler.com had a stainless one made. jets are tough. usually most will buy the size they think is right and then 2-3 sizes above and below. summer to winter will run different and a jet could help or just the oil/air mix screw. not sure about the carb size on a 50cc. the stock on the 110 is a 19mm. hope that helps, glad the mods are workin out so far.
no i don't ride a scooter, i am a scooter pilot!

with the zumas most people are staying with stock carbs and stock manifolds you can actualy run most of the sport bbks with a stock manifold it isnt untill you get to the kits that need the larger carbs that you will gain much of anything from the manifold

Black Cat DOWN!
Hey all,
My scoot is in the shop. After 200 miles on the new kit and carb, the scooter was, what I believe to be, being flooded with too much fuel.
Does a #102 main jet seem quite high for a 70cc, 19mm, UNI filter scooter?
At first, I didn't think so because the scooter performed very well, for the first 100 miles. But, after pulling the plug several times after stalling the scooter in traffic (fun times) it was very BLACK.
In addition, my mechanic suggested putting the stock air filter back on.
I brought it to him and he will re-install the stock filter in addition to re-jetting the carb lower. Anyone have any operating issues with opening up their air filter or installing a UNI?
Thanks all.

UPDATE:
Got the scoot back today. Stock air box is back on and jetted to 88.
Started right up and rode well. I actually like the not so obnoxious sound coming with the stock air box going back on.
Maybe a bit less power and loss of top end? But, that was just from the ride home and still breaking in the new pistion and rings. More to come...
