If my scooter needs lots of revs and a bit of clutch slipping to pull away smoothly, what carb settings should I be looking at changing?
It's an RT195 with a 30mm PHBH

What's exhaust and gearing ? What's your timing set at ?

Possibly too rich mixture at the pilot circuit. Smaller pilot jet might make a difference.

How about in other gears when you're off and running? If it is carb and not gearings, which it could be, I'm guessing you're giving it a load of throttle to slip the clutch in which case it could be slide, needle main jet or all three. I had a similar issue, which changing clip position cured to some extent, but permanent fix came from a leaner slide.

off and running, it's fine... if I'm sitting on the front of the seat, the acceleration pushes me to the back.....
so i'll kick off with the pilot and see what happens...
spending all day tomorrow on a service as I'm taking it to France in 6 weeks....
and thanks, guys!

what is your carb' jetting ? be sure to check the plug if you drop the pilot jet (could run too lean).
