I'd go for a 20mm carb personally. Perfect for a 175 top end. Probably finish it off with a standard exhaust.

I can only give my personal experienc of Jetex carbs.
I have always has trouble with them.
There are many on here who can get them to work fine, I never could.
The scootopia 22mil carb is suppose to be quite good, but never used them.
