Scooter Smooth Idle After Stage 6 VForce3 Reed Install

A clip of Project 90 idling along at roughly 1050RPM after the installation of a Stage 6 VForce3 reed block (by Moto Tassinari). I was impressed by the smooth idle at that RPM, even with the porting done to this cylinder. With stock reeds, it wanted to die below 1300-1400RPM.

It's an Auto Meter cylinder head temperature gauge. It measures the temp of a probe tapped into the cooling fins on the cylinder head, or could be used with LC. I've got complete details on my forum. Not the best choice really for AC. The temp range is a little low for some setups I've tried. My first 90cc with a stock carb and fan maxed it out WOT.

did you do any modifications to the vf3 reeds?

[90gtvert]

@FrancescotheTank Nope. Stuck the stuffer in there and dropped it in. It does have a 5mm reed spacer.

@90gtvert how did it preform without the stuffer?

[90gtvert]

@FrancescotheTank No idea. Stage6 recommends installing the stuffer. I looked at it and it appears to smooth out the flow to the ports in the reed block, so that's how it's stayed. The stuffer is still a 28mm ID opening so it's plenty big.

@hyperactivecalvino Thanks. I think it's sorta ugly, but I love it. lol

Cant go wrong with a VF3! Good choice! I removed the stuffer from mine and didnt notice any real changes. But i also switched carbs at the same time so i dunno?
