Jetting a 70cc Scooter Was Easy — Until It Wasn’t

We set out to dial in the carb jetting on our 70cc Piaggio Zip 50 build. Simple job, right? Try a few main jets, read the plug, ride it, done. Yeah… nah. In this video we: • Test a range of main jets • Get it running really well • Have it die completely with zero warning • Question all our life choices • Then somehow get it running again Is it trash? Is it tuned? Or is this just the reality of budget scooter builds? If you’ve ever chased jetting gremlins, this one will feel painfully familiar. We’re now a proud Boxo Tools affiliate!
