So it's the waiting game again in the quest to get the fueling issues of my ITALIAN PILE 'O KAKA sorted out,,,if this new custom tailored mikuni tm25 doesn't get it i'm going fuel injection,,,i'm sure the tm will work out as i've used several of jesse at keintech engineering's setups and they work great,,,BUT in the event it is not satisfactory then i'll look for a totaled piaggio fly with FI and maybe i can put this whole "my head is going to explode" thing to bed

Well piaggio does still make the 150 leader engine base,,,so if the carb does not work to my liking i'll go injection,,,been sniffin around the net,,,they are out there,,,(wrecked fly's) and cheap too,,,should have thought of it earlier,,,,AND being the bumbest smart guy i know ,,,i really should have gone that route in the first place,,,would have saved me some time,,,got to get the pile up and running,,,prime riding time now,,,the dr is nice but i miss my baby girl,,,,AND if the tm does indeed prove to be a flop i will do an extensive efi log and assembly proceedures with pics

$40.00? The tail light is worth that much! Grab some cash and go get that thing! I'd take more than $40.00 though. Rich

Also whats good about this engine is it gets way better mpg,,,like 80-90mpg,,,it's injected and has a 3 valve head,,,so i would mothball the whole engine thats in the et now and just do an engine swap,,,checked it out on the net,,,probably can do it in 4-5 hours,,,,,AND it has 12 inch wheels so all i have to do is search for the 2015 sprint wheels,,,BAM!!!!!
