(E8) Hellcat Raptor 125cc Nibbi Carb side by side comparison Keihin Mikuni. Tuning jetting

26mm Nibbi carb comparison and tuning on the Grom clone Hellcat 125. It is way lager all the way around for performance, but is it needed on what I have now? Seems the Nibbi is a bit too much for my configuration but did as good as the Mikuni. I also test which jets will fit in the Nibbi carb
I ended up with a 120 main! After multiple test drives and adjustments.
Keihin jets will fit the Nibi

Thank you for making these videos. I'm not an engine guy. Bought a new carb for my boys bike. Didn't run right from the install. Took it apart and adjusted the float and it's all good. Never would have had the guts or knowledge to do that without watching your channel. Keep up the great work!

Great video with lots of tuning !! You did everything right ! 😁👍👍 I was going to say the same thing as another subscriber; I think at this point you are limited by the head's CFM with the small valves. About 25 years ago I did something similar with a radio controlled boat. It had a 22cc 2-stroke McCullough. I took the engine out and mounted it to a weed wacker shaft and line head to act as a 'dyno' and give it a load. A digital engine tachometer gave me "data". I tried 3 or 4 different bigger bore carburetors from various weed wackers and small chsinsaws. All had same mounting pattern, fuel pump diaphragm pulse holes, and Hi & Lo needle valve screws. No matter what I tried, the stock carb (smallest bore) gave the best RPM. So i put the stock carb back in 🤷‍♂️ lol. Hey I have the same DeWalt (rubbermaid) cooler as you, its over 20 years old I think. Serves me well on countless road trips thru VT and NH. Cheers from Saratoga!! 🍻🍻

[@MotoCheez]

Thanks!

[@scanadaze]

I put that same carburetor on my 250 Hawk. I also upgraded the exhaust pipe. For power? The hills I used to go up and had to some times shift down into 3rd gear, now I can stay in 5th. I'm a big guy. 40 degree hill at an full stop in the middle of it, way no problems taking off. 45 back tooth and 17 front. For the engine? Only an oil cooler. No other modifications to the motor. Way more power then I will ever use. Only problem I had with the carburetor. Where I live I had to drop the needle to the lowest setting. Other then Idle Jet was to big. Dropped it down and then set my main jet. Hatted it at first. Now I love it. For sound I'm out doing the Harley-Davidson. Now they dont show off around me. I do. Just doing that I turned my Hawk into an really cool monster. Love the thing and that carburetor is yes a pain to get it set but amazing when it is. Take care.

Pretty cool little experiment you did here with the different carbs. I do like how simple they are, but it can be a challenge sometimes. You are right though, the Nibbi will be better suited for something that can move more air. The engine is nothing more than a pump... I'll tell you what would be cool, if they made some kind of fuel injection kit! That is the kind of stuff I'd like to experiment more with!

I thought the same thing on ours I have similar videos I finally got the nibbi dialed in and released a video on it they are so finicky. You have done almost everything right mine is on a ssr 125 so very similar motor. I personally prefer the cheap amazon mikuni over the nibbi. I had to run a 120 main and 48 pilot but if you have your air screw off by just a tad. These carbs run like garbage it may be because they are machines so nice that the air isn’t getting disrupted. I know someone running a 28mm on there ssr 125 and it runs great so too big in this case is not actually the case. Great video love the content just wanted to share my experience with you as well.

[@MotoCheez]

Agreed. But my exhaust I'd why it may have been too big. I did get it to run good and they are finiky

[@throttlefamily4655]

MotoCheez yes they are. I had to do the same and take the carburetor off several times. Maybe your exhaust is to restrictive.

[@MotoCheez]

It is

[@RatdogDRB]

Velocity. Without good air velocity, your air/fuel mixture isn't quite as efficient, is it not? So, yes, more airflow capabilities of the head, free breathing exhaust, boost pressure... the benefits of the NIBI may begin to shine.

Agreed!

[@brianwelteroth9248]

10x rule again for your intake. (Just like with the corrugated intake on ?Dumpie? was it?) That new carb has a much bigger throttle bottle bore over the stock intake. The semi-immediate air flow step down into the carb and possible out of the carb is experiencing a lower average air velocity through the carb then stock due to turbulence. You need a bigger intake if not also some porting of the head to run that carb.

[@MotoCheez]

The intake all the way into the head is 26mm, I think it's in the head.

[@Russell_and_Rosko]

I might put a 26mm nibbi on my kz200 scrambler build. Free flow exhaust is all that’s done. Stock head. KZ250 internals will fit the 200 case which sounds like an option in the future. I love small bikes if they’re zippy.

Maybe put a long intake pipe to slow down the velocity, or a long intake pipe with a smaller filter. Also when you put a much fatter jet you need to raise the needle and adjust the a/f screw

[@MotoCheez]

I've tried combos like that with intake horns. Does work. Fatter jet doesn't mean you have to raise needle or mixture. Mixture screw is idle to 1/8 throttle roughly. The needle fine tunes 1/4 to 3/4 mixture, main jet is 3/4 to WOT. All overlap a little if course

Pretty sure the proper sizing, is the size of the slide! Small one is an 18mm second is the very popular vm22 which is a 22mm carb and in my opinion the best for a 125cc pit bike /grom clone! The nibbi is a 28mm and way to much carb for a 125 pitbike/grom clone

Great vid I agree too much carb is too much I ordered a28 mm nibbi for my Lifan KP mini 150cc (with the vertical style engine) Just bolted on the performance exhaust but I'm thinking keep the 26 mm stock carb PZ 26..... And make sure it's jetted properly and possibly even open up the intake slightly it's all trial-and-error is and it thanks for another great video you kind of verified what I sort of already knew but how much is too much hay??

[@MotoCheez]

True, nothing like hands on!

[@colnando]

Yes it should be a 22mm

[@gregslair4278]

I know you're looking at the 190 swap. I've been looking at the Hellcat too, but you an get a Lifan KP-Mini 150 for around $1800 shipped and with exhaust and carb should be close to the 190cc at roughly the same price as the Hellcat + 190 engine? Your thoughts on that?

[@MotoCheez]

The 150 is a 5 speed? I thought the 190 had the Yamaha style top end or something. Almost 18hp? Not sure to be honest. I see now 5 speed... Hmm yeah looks decent.

[@factdesignbr]

Brother... Im 6' tall. Will a hellcat/grom look stupid or feel awkward?

[@MotoCheez]

I'm 5'10 and I look pretty big, bit I don't care! lol. if you're slim probably not, Im not so slim either :)

[@factdesignbr]

@@MotoCheez lol Im 6 and quite strong. And during this quarentine a bit fat too lol thats the whole idea anyways right? To ride a small bike. But my real question is; Is it unconfortable to ride?

[@itsnotbleach]

My man I'm 6'5 ride one and still gotta jump......they ain't small

[@itsnotbleach]

I have the endure 250....same thing

[@MotoCheez]

It's very comfy!! You wouldn't even think you were on a smaller bike. It's same size as the Grom if you have a dealer or someone who has one to sit on. It's like the old "fat chick and a scooter" joke... You know 😁😁💯💯😅😂😂

[@JSNMSR]

Just recently bought a new hellcat. Changed a few things including changing out the carb for the mikuni. What main jet and needle setting did you end up with on the stock motor?

[@MotoCheez]

Hmm. I don't remember. I think 110 main. Have to check that video I believe I said it on there

[@carlpeters9523]

now you will need to fill the front forks , with gas , just to go on reserve to get back home .

[@MotoCheez]

😁😁😁😁

[@jcastbruh1583]

Tx Powersports upped there price of the Hellcat to $1,239 it no longer seems that they are eating shipping fee for it even though it states free shipping. Oh well.

[@MotoCheez]

It's the new import fees I heard, they all went up.. idk

[@daves984]

If you are doing a motor swap. You can pick up salvage ninja or cbr 250r or 300r for cheap money.

[@MotoCheez]

Won't fit properly, I've seen people out all kinds of motors on these but they're too big

[@sasqui2001]

Did you end up putting the needle up to the bottom notch along with the 2nd largest main jet you landed on?

[@MotoCheez]

Yes

[@dannyoutlaw8001]

Hey bro I recently got one exactly like yours ...I got it really cheap because it won't fire ...I've bought 3 brand new stators and iv replaced and or checked everything that makes it fire and the only thing that I haven't changed is the flywheel....magneto....I'm just before putting another engine on itj...any ideas??

[@MotoCheez]

Geez that's crazy, make sure that there is that little metal tab welded on the flywheel, that's what triggers the spark there's a separate pickup for that on the stator. Or I've seen it as simple as someone has the kill switch wire grounded somewhere in the harness

[@dannyoutlaw8001]

@@MotoCheez IV checked all that ...I even wired up a brand new harness to it and still no spark ... makes me want to pull my hair out and I shave my head lol...but yea bro I'm hoping it's just bad stators .. when I check them with a multimeter they all 3 check bad and they are brand new....I'm going to try one more and a magneto to and if that don't work I'm just going to replace the engine.....I only payed 200 bucks for it because the guy was moving and he didn't know how to fix it

[@MotoCheez]

@dannyoutlaw8001 weird that a new stator would test bad... Are you sure that the proper CDI was purchased? That engine has an AC style ignition, which means it does not get powered from the battery it has one coil on the stator that sends power to the CDI and another wire that is the trigger to tell it to spark

[@dannyoutlaw8001]

@@MotoCheez yes iv tried 4 different cdi and they are all new and so are the stators... like I said I'm going to try one more stators and a new flywheel which is the mag...if it don't fire then I'm just going to buy another engine...I really want to put a bigger one on it anyway...

[@frankmc5021]

Ub40?

[@larrylucas5731]

May have to port and polish the head?

[@MotoCheez]

That would def help

[@jamesrogers4674]

Did moving the needle and staying with 40 work with the primary jet?

[@MotoCheez]

Yes

[@jamesrogers4674]

Thanks. Just tried out a 24mm nibbi that bolts to the manifold. Has a 35 in the pack so I assume it has a 40 installed but it needs a little more fuel. Wasn't able to do much testing before dark.

[@jamesrogers4674]

Don't have a metric tape but the head porthole is tiny. Probably 18 or 20mm it's much smaller than the inside diameter of the factory manifold tube. Probably going to try my hand at porting in the near future.

[@RellyOhBoy]

Basically that Nibbi is just "too much carb" for that setup.

[@MotoCheez]

Yes, but I was having ignition issues at the time so maybe it could be tuned in

[@warrenpeas]

was that a genuine mikuni? and have you tested the pz26?

[@MotoCheez]

I doubt if.it was genuine. China made Mikuni, say Mikuni on it

[@warrenpeas]

@@MotoCheez in the facebook group clone army a lot of people say the pz26 is tuned very well out of the box. have you had any experience with it? its only 24$ plus the 8$ manifold on amazon

[@7eis]

Tiny truck bed for tiny carburettors👍

[@MotoCheez]

Sure is!

[@jeffomspaugh6691]

Where can you find the mikuni intake?

[@MotoCheez]

The links should be in description of the video

[@kevinmarshall5102]

What jet sizes with the second carb?

[@MotoCheez]

I think I did 105... Sorry I forget

[@poweron1807]

Don't you think you get a few more MPH with street tire or the stock tire?

[@MotoCheez]

Yes

[@Strict30]

125

[@davidxj73brown70]

How do I get the minkuni carb and intake for the hellcat I can't find the link lol any help is much appreciated

[@davidxj73brown70]

And do I need to change anything like jet I have an after market exhaust on mine

[@MotoCheez]

MotoCheez.com in the hellcat section. Yes you'll need to change jets

[@adanmendoza7517]

Whats your elevation? Are you at sea level?

[@MotoCheez]

600 feet

[@jeep89ltd]

What jets did you use for the mikuni? I can't get mine to run right, bogs everywhere all over the throttle

[@MotoCheez]

I had one in my old kit.. I have links on motocheez.com what size in it now?

[@jeep89ltd]

@@MotoCheez I'm not sure, whatever came with it. Trying to get an idea of where to start with the mikuni, any ideas? I'm in PA, about the same elevation as NY

[@MotoCheez]

Try a 105 main with needle up one notch (one notch down on needle)

[@xmoto7377]

my nibbi also came with a duplicate jet haha i dont know why

[@MotoCheez]

Someone messed up. Had another guy tell me same
