i have 100cc bore on my qmb139. the kit came with a keihin carb (unsure of the size but was included in the kit)

heres what i did, i seen a video on someone boring out the intake of the carb and polishing it. i said to myself wow what a great idea. So i did that, didnt hit any of the brass pieces and i think i did a good job. now it wont start. itll crank, and kick once and continue cranking and kick once. so i put my hand over the intake (basically choking it) and it started right up. when i throttle it itll die out and ill let go of the throttle and itll idle again. i put the stock carb back on, and it runs around the street just fine.

so basically im getting too much air, i adjusted the needle height, the air fuel ratio and its not helping any. any one can help me how to less air? or do i need more fuel? or is the carb wasted? thanks.

You may need a new carb. The tight place in carb is to make vacuum, a venturi I think is what it is called. That vacuum is what sucks the gas thru the jets to become gas mist. I would try the old carb first.

The carb just may be too big,,, also there may be something wrong with the new carb,,, you will not be the first person to have a bad part right out of the box,,,, run the old carb till we can sort out the new one or return it and have the vendor send you another carb

I believe what the original poster did was ruin the carb by "boring it out"
