HI Fosscati, your info is very helpful. Do you think that the Honda nets you 2-3 mph more than the HS? Apparently you get a bit more hill climbing ability?

I am figuring the HS as a baseline, with the Honda as a more deluxe version. Even .25 hp, IF that was all that was availble, should be easily felt?

I am anxiuos to get back to the garage, and kick off this project at the hands-on level, but, alas, the Beach really did need to come first! There is soo much to do.

Dax, after I read your post, I'm just guessing that you do not have a 5/8th shaft engine to join into my little project?

I have seen clearly that the in-frame system as we know it know, certainly has it's shortcomings. But I do think that the 2-strokes day are numbered, and that number is not a very big one.


Mike
