How easy would it be to do and how would i go about doing it, its because i recently changed my air filter and i now need too get a larger main jet, I'm sure its on the carb i think.
Any help would be appreciated,
By the way, I have a Sym, scooter (50cc)
Thanks.

yes the main jet is in the carburetter located bottom of the float chamber don't forget a new needle is required as well to match the new main jet

Did you do anything besides change the air filter? A simple air filter change shouldn't change your fuel requirements that greatly. Does your bike run differently since you replaced the filter (run out of power where it didn't before?), if not, I wouldn't worry.. If so, a shop would be the preferred way to have the work done as they have the equipment to make sure that the jet is the correct size, otherwise it is very hit and miss...

If you just changed the dirty filter for a clean one you do not need to change your jetting. If you have a modified or after market free breathing air filter and an after market free flowing exhaust you'll need to re-jet your carb. In that case I would talk to someone at a scooter shop for the proper size jets you would need. It's an easy process. Get a service manual and read it. Good Luck.

I would be surprised if you need to "rejet" the carbs on a 50cc just because you added freer flowing air filter. Rejetting is an extensive process and best left a certified small engine mechanic.
Like Irv S said, adjusting the carbs (PMS adjustment, main jet, pilot jets and needle shims) "may be possible" but like DrSmith said.. "it very hit and miss".

How does changing an air filter MAKE you need to get a larger jet. On a scooter, you shouldn't worry about things like this.

A change in your air filter should NOT require rejetting
the carb.
Changing the jet is a major change.
Changing a filter is not.
A normal carb adjustment giving you optimum mixture
should be possible.

Your air filter has nothing to do with it and won't affect the bike. You re-jet when you go to more open exhaust pipes not for an air filter.
