I finally got my new parts in (SCOOTERPARTS4LESS.COM-RANDY WONG) A+++ SERVICE! I RECOMMEND THEM! (UNI FILTER, .79-1.01 Jet KIT)$20.87 Total!
Anyway, I got my carb off, and noticed that my jet on the carb I bought from a local scoot shop(California Cycles, in FL...)was ALREADY upgraded to .95. So I went ahead and upped it to 1.00. I also went ahead and cleaned the carb Again Real Good. Took the Pilot off and soaked it in carb cleaner, then blew it out with the Air Compressor.
I cut the Air Intake hose AT the AIR BOX, and clamped my new UNI filter right on the end. I also pushed the Angled hose, going into the carb, the one with the new filter, Up above the fender and under the gas tank, so it went get TOO wet.
I fired her up, warmed up, and re-tuned the carb. ALLEY - With the new filter on and the bigger jet, and REALLY clean pilot jet, It takes off very smooth now! I do think I will have to check my valves again, as it takes about a mile to get to 38-40mph, and I think I can milk a little more out of it, now that I have my take off problem solved. It sounds ALOT better with the new filter, I would have NEVER guessed MORE AIR, would have helped ANYTHING, as I was pretty sure, just like you said, it was getting TO MUCH AIR, NOT ENOUGH GAS...
I have also left the carb needle set ONE NOTCH BELOW MIDDLE. and AIR/FUEL at ALMOST 3 Complete turns out.
THANKS SO MUCH ALLEY! It has been really fun getting these to Scoots going! AND I would have been lost without YOUR HELP!!!

I forgot to add that I also went ahead and Changed the Gear Oil.
This one is A little bit different than a QMB139. I like that the Vento Triton Engine's Fill cap for the gear oil, is actually on TOP, by the rear suspension shock.

Thanks alot guys!
I will take pictures and show you guys all the new stuff! It was badly sun bleached, so I sanded it down real smooth and spray painted it flat black, with the middle gas tank plastic yellow as the rims are yellow. I thank it came out pretty good!
I also picked up another 12volt Power Socket to mount, and another set of 5X8s and a 200watt Boss Amp. Just enough to hear over the engine, and not have to worry about being pulled over for headphones!
