Re the generic cheap **** Chinese made 48cc, 2 stroke engine.
Just curious:
a) In Australia we have a 200W limit on the engines under 50cc... just wondering what kind of distance you get per liter, at 200W output.
In terms of setting up the engine for longevity... with an oiled air filter and proper allen key bolts, with thread locking compound, etc., etc., etc...
b) The clutch is a dry clutch, coated with a little grease on the hubs teeth, to lubricate this and the connecting engine gear. Me thinks, make an oil bath lubrication of the clutch gear. I'd rather ask this first, before I have to soak the clutch friction pads in solvent to remove the oil - but has anyone ever put half a cup of thin motor oil in the clutch housing, to lubricate the gears inside it - and has this affected the clutches ability to grip it's plates? Do they grip or do they slip?
(Most real motorcycles all use wet clutches in an oil bath...)
