I’ve been trying to help a mate out who’s having problems with his scooter. It’s an Indian GP200 with an Indian stage 4 kit on it we believe. Currently has a 28mm phbh Dellorto carb and a JL3 exhaust, although we have also tried an AF slope side clubman. Gearing etc is standard as far as we know. Fast flow fuel tap.
The issue is that it has no ‘oomph’ about it, it won’t go over 50mph and it loses power going up hills. Things we have done-
Carb cleaned and set up according to ballpark figures, various tweaks made depending on exhaust. Currently as follows-
X7 needle 1st clip
112 main
70 choke
55 pilot
AV264 needle jet
200 float needle(orange/red)
45 slide
Leak down test is fine.
Timing set at 19 btdc and checked with ‘buzzwangle’
New plug and cap.
It has a bgm stator and recently the low tension coil failed so we fitted one of the ReadSpeed cdi’s that bypass it.
We have also fitted a new pick up to the stator.
It starts and runs fine, it just lacks power and top end, it kind of feels like it’s restricted. Oddly, it bogs down if a larger main jet is fitted yet it only has a 112 fitted. We have looked in the exhaust port and it has a 3 ring piston, we haven’t taken the top end off yet.
Hope I haven’t forgotten anything, it’s a bit of a mystery. Can anyone suggest anything else to try?
Thanks.
