Hello Dave,
Sorry, been away from my computer helping my 89 year old Mom.
The link to my post to thread "getting most from your 2.8" is what I would say again. Also, the link in the post to the micro drill set worked for me, but I linked it again. Nice set, and less than $15 shipped to your door, a good deal IMO.
Your link to OldMiniBikes drilled jets is not the one, will not work, too large. The jet that works from the 6.5hp Clone is the idle jet. The idle jet is the black plastic jet. You want a stock one, not drilled out. You can get these for less than $5, but shipping may be expensive.
You will have to drill out the brass main jet with a micro drill. If you drill it out too large it will be trash. As I mentioned, may be able to get these from Honda, but I have not tried to buy one yet. If you ruin the main jet, may be looking at buying another carb, so I suggest waiting on this mod.
I would clean the carb, install the green clutch spring, and see how it runs. I got mine to run really well before I ever rejetted the carb, so you may not need to do it anyway. My grandson's DB30 runs very well with stock carb, black spring, sprocket adaptor, and 78 tooth rear sprocket. For his, rejetting carb would help huge on a cold day, but on a hot summer day, probably not a lot of difference. I like to ride this mini, but with jackshaft would be better.
Good luck, have fun. Cheers :thumbsup:
