Main Jet

pappy0352 · 07-05-2019, 05:35 PM

I'm riding a 2000 E-Ton Beamer 49cc. I upgraded the carb, air intake,CDI box,coil and spark plug. Right now I'm getting 40mph and wondering if up jetting to a 90 main jet would make much of a difference? I believe my jet is a 75.

Any thoughts welcome.

Is it de-restricted? Washer out of the variator? No exhaust washer? Is it a model with a rev limiter CDI? It could just be the final drive gearing is low from the factory. I assume its a 2 stroke, as I recall Eton still doing them (2 strokes) in the early 2000's. Sometimes you need a exhaust that allows the motor to reach its peak power/power band. I hear, but have never confirmed, that Yamaha bug-eye 2 stroke parts work on that motor. I no longer have any tuning exhaust laying around for a horizontal motor or I would offer to see if it fits. And dont jump from a 75 to a 90 main jet if you decide to try it. Buy a complete range main jet kit and climb up till it starts to bog, then go down a jet #. Then, if needed, fine tune it thru the needle slide. Hope this helps!

I would raise it to the next jet size and take a plug reading following a top speed run. If the plug shows you are too lean, go to the next jet size and repeat.

Couldn't agree more. I've seen the same exact engines sitting side by side like 2 different jets to run right. You can use what people with similar mods have done to get a starting point but at the end of the day it has to be tuned to what it wants.
