So my build that I have almost complete, doesn't run as expected. I got a Zeda Firestorm 80 out of the box, first run. Thing acts like it is suffocating. Crawls up to 25mph where it won't go any further. If I pull the clutch and rev it, it revs much much higher than the 25 mph rev. With the clutch disengaged the thing sounds like a beast.
36 tooth sprocket
I think my issue is my intake. I got a Z intake on it now. I had it laying around. The outlet of the intake seems like if is almost has half the area the Firestorm jug's area has. I cannot use the stock intake as the carb is too high. I must have the carb offset.
Question 1: Is this most likely my intake system? I feel stupid asking but I want confirmation.
Question 2: How do you offset the carb, like in a reed valve setup, without affecting performance.
