That's right, the big bore kit arrived late yesterday and so I didn't discover it until this morning when I went out for work. I did find the package containing my new muffler from JC Whitney on the step when I got home yesterday.
Everything looks terrific. I had a quick dig through the box from PSF before leaving. The engine parts look good. I'm not certain how much bigger the carb might be but I did notice that there is no new intake manifold so the engine side must be the same size as the original. There is even a new cam drive chain but I think I'll not be changing that since mine has only 900 miles on it. The megaphone muffler will be a shiny compliment to the scoot and it most certainly will flow lots more air than the very restrictive (and heavy) original muffler.
Pictures will certainly be following as I do the tear down, swap out of the old parts and install the real 150cc engine parts. Then the scoot will be shuttled out to CPI for the new exhaust pipe creation. After that, its just a matter of a few 60 degree days for me to get back on the road again with all my new horsepower.
I am so excited! The BSU, who discovered the accidentally left laying receipt from last week, is much less excited... I guess I better come up with a doozy of a Valentines Day gift!
