Here you go a complete tear down of the carb on your scoot.
what you want to get at is the PILOT SCREW. Clockwise LEANS it Counter Clockwise RICHENS it. It is next to the Throttle position Sensor.

If memory serves me, weren't some of the Metropolitan's restricted? Still should go 25MPH.

Sounds like maybe you bought a Metro II, but like "cookees" said, it should still do 25. " Until 2006, Honda offered a restricted version of the Metropolitan in the United States, called the Metropolitan II, model code CH50P. It was limited to a maximum speed of 25 mph (40 km/h).[citation needed] This permits classification as a moped in those states allowing use by unlicensed or younger riders" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CHF50 |
