Don't waste your time or money with this kit. The top of the carb won't clear the frame unless you use the flat cap, and the flat cap will destroy the cable and itself in no time. Unless you plan on hacking your sub-frame to bits attempting to make this kit somehow work avoid this kit

...it does not fit! From what I can tell, the kit I received was missing parts, or came with the incorrect fittings and cables. Good luck finding a parts list telling you what it should contain, nobody, including Malossi, feels the need to list it anywhere, so I can't prove it came incomplete or incorrect. After weeks of ordering additional parts and modifying the frame and the carb (both are things I was told wouldn't need to be done), I finally got everything fitted well enough to get the bike to start, just to have the throttle cable that came with the carb snap on the first twist. I know the flat top on the carb is known to break cables, something else I was prepared to rectify, but I was hoping the cable would last at least one twist of the throttle before that happened, so I could at least confirm it was working before I went any further with it. I wasn't expecting perfection from Malossi, but basic functionality and customer support would have been great.

DON'T DENT YOUR FRAME OR CLEARANCE YOUR CASES...THIS KIT IS MADE TO FIT. Here's what you need to know: 1. You need a couple intake bolts the size of the shorter stock intake bolts. 2. The new bare inner cable is the throttle cable (You will reuse your old throttle cable housing). The new cable with the black housing is the choke cable. Use the flat cap for the throttle. Use the adjuster, curved guide, and shorter nut for the choke. 3. The large adjustment screw is the idle speed. The smaller adjustment screw is the mixture screw. 3 turns out with a DR 70cc kit and Proma pipe worked for me. 4. Take off your drive belt and remove the 4 upper motor mount bolts. Loosen the bottom 2. THIS ALLOWS YOU TO TILT THE MOTOR DOWN IN THE FRONT WHICH GIVES YOU THE ROOM YOU NEED. 5. Gold cable stop is for the throttle twist grip. 6. The choke control comes apart in the choke ON position (lever up) Hope this helps. Well worth the effort. YOUR PA50 will RIPPPPPPP!!!

I've finally got this blasting on my Athena kit. I broke the cable in all my takes parts but now have the hand set choke. Aside from the inability to get another cable this thing is wonderful...finally.
I use it on a modded subframe so how it might fit on an Unmodded ?

get a curved piece of radiator hose, 2 hose clamps and a 3/4" (diameter!) piece of (brass) pipe. connect the radiator hose to the intake and run it out from under the frame... take the carb and lightly dremel the shim round and round you go... apply some lubricant to the pipe and gently whack it into the clamp area with a rubber mallet. clamp it on there and use some gas sealant/super glue (or just jb weld it on) over the joint just to make sure that it's sealed properly. now you have a spigot mount carb and don't have to disconnect yer freakin' sub frame from the bike to tune the carb. also get rid of the low clearance top cap because it will chew yer freakin' throttle cable to PIECES.
Don't waste your time or money
