Hey guys im building my first mb and am ordering a 48cc gt2b brubee engine. My question is what extra parts besides a masterlink and clutch pads should i buy for just in case? also where can i order extra jets for the cns carb at? i live at about 4600 ft in elevation so it would be nice to tune accordingly

SBP should have the jets, as for spare parts its up to you. I have broken clutch cables, cdi, magneto and a carburetor. Sick bike parts is one of the vendors on the side off this page.

Great question. I highly recommend you get a spare magneto-coil, maybe an extra CDI, and an NT carb are good investments; each can be had for less than $20 on eBay. Actually, if I knew then what I know now, I'da bought TWO kits; the cost of individual replacement-parts and shipping make it a cheaper and more convenient option for a first-build. There's a lot to learn, but the curve is steep and this newsgroup is a great resource. Having ruined a magneto-coil and needing to wait nearly a week for a replacement is really frustrating. I've learned to avoid problems more effectively, and I keep spare parts (and replace them when used) so as not to be left in a lurch when things break.

Ditch the stock chain and upgrade it. It's the single weakest link in the stock drivetrain. I use #40 roller chain but you can find others. Search it here for lots of suggestions.

Pedal away from stops, don't slip the clutch like a dirtbike. I am over 250lbs and I have never had a clutch apart yet. I have many many thousands of miles on stock chinagirl clutches with no problems.
