How do I speed up the timeing on a gas carburetor on a gas scooter?

Answer 1

You've been a little ambiguous, on this one. You'll probably get a dozen different answers. If you want to up the revs, at idol, there's a screw, sticking out of the side of the carby.It's got a spring around the shaft. start your scooter, and turn the screw clockwise, until you get the revs where you want them. Once you've done that, adjust the screw, at the base of the carby float bowl, inward, or outward. The revs will increase, or decrease, accordingly.Get the revs as high as you can.....don't panic !!!!! Once the revs are as high as they're going to get, adjust the idle screw ( the one with the spring on, at the side) back out ( anti clockwise), 'till the revs are back where you want them. Be aware, though, if your scoot has a centrifugal ( auto) clutch, don't have the idle revs up too much, or you'll get into deep water when you kick it into gear, as it'll try to take off, on you. As far as the ignition timing. It's most likely a CDI (capacetor discharge ignition) and is set, at the factory. If it's all too confusing, which it is, to most people, just take it to the bike shop. It should only cost a couple of bucks, for a mechanic to set it for you. If possible, watch them while they tune it. It'll give you some tips, for when you try to tackle it, yourself. Good luck !!!

Answer 2

furthermore - you can adjust the carburettor to speed up the tickover speed. This is the revs that the engine runs at when you are not touching the accelerator. It is a screw which goes upwards, often at an angle, you adjust it by starting the engine, then screwing the screw in a little bit. (This might be what you mean)

If the engine is not ticking over properly, check the air filter and the spark plug before trying to adjust the carburettor.

timing is not a carburation issue. it is an ignition issue. advance or retard of ignition is done by rotating the ignition module.
