stevecarter1000 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Bit of a novice and could do with a bit of help - I posted yesterday ref my Fantic frame but now i've found something else - The engine bottom end has a plate that says it's a FM 250 125cc. Took the head off and noticed that the piston looked bigger than the 55mm or so that it should be. Measured it and it's 62mm which gives a capacity of 156cc. Knowing that Fantic made a 156cc I did a bit of looking round and it appears that many 125 & 156 bits are the same so I presume that this started out life as a 125 and someone's put a 156 block and piston on it. Question - The carb is a Delorto 24mm. Is that right for the 156 or is it the old 125 carb (or are they the same anyway?)? I also have a 26mm Delorto. Will this be any better? There's 3 cylinder head gaskets in there too. Is this right or is it someones attempts to alter the compression ratio??? Advice on jetting for whichever carb would be appreciated too.
