Default Question about an Engine?

hello, im new to posting and new to the motorized bike world, just want to ask some of the experts on the subject, i just bought the new limited edition 80cc engine kit from powerkingshop on ebay, i've emailed him many times about the kit and he says that it is the top quality kit from the factory. it has a new muffler new throttle and a high qualtity engine made from only the best parts. i want to know from you guys if what he says about the kit is true and it is a whole better engine then the other ones he sells, or if hes full of ****e. id just like to know if anyone has bouth from him before also, if you could answer these questions, thatd be great.

heres the web site link: LIMITED 80CC BICYCLE MOTOR ENGINE KIT MOTORIZED BIKE ! - (eBay.ca item 380058547091 end time 04-Sep-08 20:09:23 EDT)

Powerking engines are fine... You already bought it... no use second guessing it now!
Put it on your bike & enjoy it!

I got 1 from them also, my buddy bought two from them. Neither of us will buy from him again. We made this choice, not because of anything powerkingshop did or didn't do, we have read a lot about different vendors and will go with someone else next time. We know we will pay a little more but believe we will get a better engine and better service from someone else.

If the kit works for you, it will save you that in a couple of months. Not to mention all the fun you'll have.

I just put this kit on my MB, and it works fine, and is of very good quality, so don't sweat it. The kit is just as good as anybody else's on the web as far as I can see.
Have fun with it, but remember to take your time when installing it, and double check everything you do. I built mine slowly and carefully over a period of 4 days, fitting, refitting, and doublechecking, especially my sprocket and tensioner setup.
