Welcome to 2-Stroke Tech 🛠️🔥
This section is for all things 2T performance and reliability — from mild daily setups to full race builds.
Post here for:
-
Carb tuning / jetting / needle tuning (pilot, main, clip position)
-
Air leaks, crank seals, reeds, intake boots
-
Pipes (expansion chamber choices, fitment, powerband tuning)
-
Cylinders & porting (sport vs midrace vs high-end)
-
Ignition timing, CDI, stator issues
-
Oil injection vs premix, ratios, and safe practices
-
Cooling, plug chops, EGT/CHT discussions
-
Compression, squish, head work
To get good answers fast, include:
Scooter: year/make/model
Engine: 2T type + displacement (ex: Minarelli, PGO, etc.)
Carb: size + jets + needle clip (if known)
Intake/filter: stock box / pod / snorkel changes
Pipe: name/model
Cylinder: stock / kit (which one)
Fuel/oil: premix ratio or injection
Symptoms/goals: (top speed, acceleration, midrange, reliability)
Helpful “baseline” threads we’ll build over time

Keep it detailed, keep it respectful, and share what worked when you solve it 🤝
