How to Install Pocket Rocket Boost

How to install a boost system on your pocket rocket.

This is a great way to give your bike a little pick up. “With the simple instillation of a Boost Bottle kit, your bike will be leaving the others in the dust”. I have head this before but if you are dealing with a 49cc engine this is not all that true. The boost will if installed and sized properly give you a gain in power.

How does a boost work?

Myth: There is a mixture substance in the bottle like a nitrous system in a car.

Fact: The whole system works off of a back pressure. The boost bottle connects to the carb via a modified manifold. When the engine runs the boost can fills with air creating back pressure causing a bunch of physic’s leading to a supercharge type of effect at the end you get some more power.

The key here is the, size of the bottle make sure you get the right size bottle that goes with your engine size. Double bottle is not necessarily better then single in this case.

1. Manually empty fuel tank completely.

2. Shut fuel value off on carb and disconnect the fuel line from the carb.

3. Locate the throttle cable connected to carb. disconnect throttle cable from the carb by loosening the screw and spring holding the throttle cable in place.

4. Unscrew screws attaching the air box/air filter to the carb to remove the air box/air filter. Keep it clean sure to not get any dirt into carb.

5. Remove two long screws holding carb to manifold. Be sure to not lose the gasket between carb and manifold, you will be needed again.

6.Remove the manifold by unscrewing the four screws securing the manifold to the engine. Once again, be careful with the gasket between the manifold and engine. Put the removed manifold aside.

7. Install the brass valve on the new manifold, and place old manifold gasket on new manifold so the carb.

8. To install the manifold, carefully place it against the opening in the engine, ensuring the brass valve(s) are facing down. There is only one way the manifold will go on, so don’t force it. The opening for the carb should be parallel with the ground. Replace the 4 screws

9. Connect the hose to the manifold by pushing the hose over the brass valve on the manifold. Make sure to push the hose all the way up the valve.

10. Reinstall the carb by aliening the body of the carb (opening) with the opening on the manifold. The fuel bowl of the carb should be towards the ground. Replace the two long screws that were removed before.

11. Reconnect the throttle cable to the carb by tightening the spring and screw.

12. Reconnect the fuel line to the carb by pushing it over the fuel valve on the carb. It is a good idea to put a zip tie around the fuel line to secure it to the carb to avoid fuel leaks.

13. Reinstall the air box/ air filter to the carb by holding the air box with the openings towards the ground and aligning the air box screw holes with the threaded holes on the carb. Replace the two screws.

14. Attach to boost bottle by pushing hose over the brass valve on the boost bottles.

15. Use zip ties to mount the boost bottle(s) to the frame of the bike. The bottle must be mounted at a level above the carb to function properly. Recheck all screws to ensure all components are tight.

16. Fill bike with fuel and start bike up to check to make sure throttle works properly and there are no fuel leaks.

17. Now you are ready to ride.

Neon light on your Mini Rocket

How to add a neon light to your pocket rocket. Below I describe the install I did on the x7 models 2 stroke. Now if you have a bike with out headlights and battery just ask and I will give you the procedure for that also.

Parts needed

1. Neon light (I have seen 3 sizes at Auto Zone 9", 15" and 4") chose the one that suites you.

2. Screw drivers philps, flat head, set of alan wrenches, needle nose pliers, sharp blade, voltmeter and wire cutters.

3. Electrical tape, zip ties and double stick tape.

Procedure:
Chose a location to install the light on the bike. Most people do it over the Engine area.

1. Remove the gas tank cover using the appropriate tool.

2. Remove the seat by sliding it out after you remove the screws holding it down.

3. Remove the gas tank do not remove the gas lines unless you know what you are doing.

4. You will now see the frame of the bike. Zip tie or use double stick tape to attach the light where you think it will look the best. Do not put it on the exhaust pipe on near objects which get hot.

5. Now given your bike has headlights pick any head light and using the blade shave off the insulation on the positive wire (determine this using the voltmeter), in the case of the X7 it is the one which goes into the center of the headlight assembly as for the ground is the one which is ties down to the assembly of the bike. Anyways now take the positive wire of the neon light and wrap it around the wire you just shaved. Next wrap a piece of tape around the wrapped wire to insulate it.

6. Take the negative of the neon light and tie it down to any grounding location on the bike.

7. Take the zip ties and ties up the loose wires so they won't get caught up in any moving parts or touch hot ones.

Testing
Turn the key on your bike to the on position and turn on the head lights when you do so your neon light should also turn on.

Pocket bike size by cc's

So when was the last time you saw a local pocket bike dealer? Probably not lately so its pretty easy to get screwed with the wrong size bike since in most cases you have to by them off the internet especially if you are a newbee.

What is the difference between the 47cc two stroke and 49cc two stroke?

Obviously there is the cc's but there is also a physical size difference. In general the 47cc bikes are physically smaller than the 49cc. I am 5' 7" weight is 180lbs the 49cc is very comfortable to sit on and ride as apposed to the 47cc .
Normally the 47cc will have foot pegs located right under the gas tank as apposed to the 49cc where they will be located near the rear tire.

Keep checking back for more info. I only blog about simple things but they make a huge difference in how long you will enjoy your pocket bike.

Please add on what do you know about 4 strokes?
