Another order! - RE: Variator Weights

This is an update from this post:
http://www.scootdawg.net/showthread....440#post520440


So, most of my last order came through, most importantly my gram scale. So far I've installed the performance ignition coil and I'm still waiting on the clutch springs. I went to solder the wire to my right front light and noticed that the wire was completely fine and it was just the bulb that blew, haha - oh well, now I've got a new soldering iron!

When I weighed my variator weights they all weighed about 6.50-6.53 grams. Problem is there is no writing on them, and I can't figure out what measurement they are (I now find myself with no metric measuring tape, argh!). So, here are my questions:

Will any GY6 rollers on amazon fit? Or do I have to find some way to measure my current rollers?

Do I want sliders, or roller?

What's with people mixing up their weights? I see a lot of people installing different combinations of weights, should I be doing that?

I want a higher top speed, because currently my top flat terrain speed is about 40mph and I need 45mph to go to the bank. How much heavier of weights should I get? I weigh 250lbs, is 45mph even achievable on a 63cc? I know I can go 50mph downhill, and up to 35 uphill.

I got 2,000rpm clutch springs, will the theoretical faster acceleration from these compensate for the slower acceleration of heavier roller weights?

If I'm supposed to adjust my idle based on when the clutch engages, do I have to re-adjust my idle when I install 2,000 rpm springs?

If my setup isn't perfect will it be tolerable? I don't quite have the money to be out spending loads of money on variator weights or a variator weight tuning kit, so if I end up getting too heavy or too light of weights and too stiff of clutch springs, will my scooter still be rideable? I mostly need it to go 35mph, quickly, is there anything I should avoid that will hinder that?

I just got my high performance ignition coil, but I still don't know much about them. How much theoretical performance gain should I get from installing it? (It's all rainy outside so I haven't ridden to test it yet).


If you have any recommendations for products please go to Amazon.com or Newegg for links because I only have credit for these two sites and am currently strapped for cash.

In a few months I plan on buying these things:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...A2VPA2J7YDDYST

But for right now I'm on a low budget to buy all the performance parts I can because I'm fed up with how cars honk and pass me on the street because I can't accelerate from a stoplight fast enough.
