100cc or 80cc which one?

So you are saying to get the Baofeng again which was actually the original with the kits, I am asking because I am being offered the so called "speed" carburettor for the same price but I am reading mixed reviews about it, some say it will improve performance but others say it may make it worse.

Here's one in question: https://gasbike.net/products/speed-carburetor

In the USA, there is many a vendor, advertiser that says this is the best and that is the best, etc. etc. etc.

Just fancy words to part a fool from his wallet and his money...You already know the BoFeng works well, don't be fooled by a promise of something being a called a "speed" carburetor...They take a real basic old fashioned NT carburetor, put a red cover instead of a black one over the air filter and then call it a "speed" carburetor.

Do as you will but it is hard to beat the BoFeng carburetor which even has an emulsifier tube in it for better atomisation of the fuel resulting in smoother acceleration throughout all throttle positions.

Regarding gasbike, they are not well trusted or regarded here in the USA where they are located as you will find out when reading the "Dealer Reviews" section of our forum that cover quite a few years, from 2009 up to 2023, of our members having to deal with them...Most of the reviews are not very good.

I personally also consider the Bofeng carburetor to be the best carb for these engines, I just haven't used one that claims to be "speed" until now, and that's why I asked.

You are fine with that carb. It's just a NT type carb but only has four notches on the metering needle.

Much better than any NT I ever had...lol.

I have three BoFeng's in total and all of them came with 5 notches on the needle valve.

It also has the emulsifier tube which the NT does not have.

It also eliminated the "tickler" push button which invariably always leaks and falls out of the NT due to vibration, etc.

And the 4 pronged protrusion that fastens to the intake manifold or to the reed valve is much thicker and heavier than what is on an NT as this was also a weakness on the NT as they were prone to cracking and breaking off.

The insides also have a much finer polished finish to it then the NT .

Bofeng = Improved NT. I will never run an NT again.
