Hi, ive fitted the engine and the rear sprocket so far. when it says you need to drill a small hole in the handle bar to locate the throttle tit, what does it mean and do i really need to drill a hole?
Thanks

I have done it with and with out. The lil nub thing can be broken off if you choose not to drill a hole for it. But have found it is better to drill. Not all that hard with a drill press but a real pain with a hand drill. Is an optional thing. If you do drill the hole, just use the throttle to line up where the hole should be and mark the spot with a sharpie or magic marker. Some handle bars will have markings already but never seem to be close enough to the end of the bar but have the angle right.

Brassoman I always drill a hole for the pin, it stops the throttle from twisting around if the clamping screws work themselves loose, from end of handle bar measure 12.5mm back & center punch on mark, then drill 4.5mm hole

looks good brasso. what bike is that looks perfect for the motor.

Hope it goes all good. congrats
Thanks for all the welcomes again.
The bike: the frame only just fits in the bike (had to drill a hole in it because the clamp for the frame didnt fit), the left pedal scrapes against the muffler a little but i think its ok.

The bike is an old one ive had for a few years, says "Blizzard Holstar" on it. I think it was bought from learsports.

Any quick tips about what sort of oil is best for the run in period, and what ratio?
And for all I know, you start the bike by pressing that little brown nob down for 5 secs or so, then pedal with clutch disengaged then engage it. Is this correct?

Thanks
