My young son has a Suzuki LT50 (kids 2 stroke quad, 50cc, no suspension, older type model) - we are trying to do some (basic) tuning etc to get a few more mph out of it - has anyone any experience with one to get it running right / better.
Heres what we have checked / done so far.
Someone checked the exhaust port for restrictor (it is well reported to be in there) and found none - (this was done prior to me owning quad) - I will double check this to be sure over the holidays but....
Inlet manifold restrictor removed (this was done prior to me owning quad) (so I assume above to be true).
Throttle screw restrictor removed.
Carb clean / general check over.
As suggested in other forums raised the needle one clip position (make the needle higher).
Made the small holes in airbox slightly bigger.
Removed spark arrestor from exhaust.
Non of the changes we did made any difference.
Basically the quad goes about 10-12 mph - and seems to only rev to half of what you expect it to do. It runs pretty good, no complaints there, but it just seems to lack revs and top end - i dont want it to go 30+mph but maybe another 4 or 5 mph would be a good start as my boys really got the hang of it.
Any help or suggestions, especially experienced lt50 owners, would be great.
Seen some videos on youtube and some of them really fly!
Merry xmas and happy new year to you all as well!
