Ok so I have a yd100 and the bicycle I'm putting it in has about a 3" triangle where I'm having trouble fitting a carburetor in it. I'm also having trouble with the idle. It's a higher flow carb and it doesn't like to idle but once it's moving it's perfectly fine. I'm thinking about resetting it but I don't know how to figure out jet sizes. I really like the bike though. I've gotten the motor to 60mph on a previous bike and I want to make it work on this new frame because it was so much fun. At the start it was a build out of necessity because I was living too far from work to be just riding a bicycle while working 14 hours a day and it's become a project of love and I haven't regretted a single bit of it. I even had people asking about how I built it, how far does the tank get me, how fast does it go and how much it was. I more love the freedom it gives me and it makes the local cops smile because I joke about racing them on it and they really don't know how fast it'll go so they just laugh. But I could really use the advice and maybe some parts links the see what help comes.

First, what carb? "higher flow" is way too generic for anybody to be of any help.

You must be pretty light to get 60mph outta a yd100.

Cfm isn't really a thing with these small engine carbs. What is more important is the bore size and jet sizes
Post a picture of the carb
Ah well where do I measure the bore from?
When I get home I will
I guess that pugg must be a long way from home then since this was posted almost a month ago...lol...Still no pic, no further information mentioned, requested, or offered...lol.

Always interpret speed claims as "felt like 60mph"
