Hi all. I put on a zeda 80cc engine onto my beach cruiser about a month ago (been on 5-10 rides on it so far) and having some real trouble with how SLOW it goes! From videos and reviews I've seen of the stock engine, it seems like they all run faster/more efficient than mine. Everything from pickup from idle to top end speed. One fix I predicted would be to replace the NT carb with a HP carb. Heard the HP was a bit better, so I tried it out. I switched out the jet that came with it with a 65mm, tried 60mm and 62mm before that but didn't really notice a big difference between 62mm and 65mm. It runs a bit better, but not a huge difference. But the main problem is really the acceleration and getting it up to speed...takes so long. When I stop it's always a hit or miss whether I'll stall out, especially when giving it a little throttle from the start. Seems to bog out and get all gurgling when I idle and give it throttle. Super annoying since I live in a neighborhood with a bunch of stop signs lol. Tried messing around with the idle pin but hasn't really helped. Spark plug seems to look fine, it's coated like a dark grey (is that good or am I running rich?).
