Thanks to Dan, Adam and the Forum, I have decided that the best engine for my needs is a 50 CC 4 Stroke. Is there a good engine out there for less than $400.00? Recommendations please. Thanks.

There aren't alot of options when it comes to primary reduction boxes for the 4-stroke motors. To the best of my knowledge there are currently only 3 non chinese boxes The Staton-Inc Box and its adapter to fit the Honda or Clone motor (approx. $300.00+) The EZ Silent Drive (currently not offered outside their complete kit $650.00) or the Fire Belly Cycles new prototype reduction, about to go into its first limited production run ($350.00) Of these three options only the Staton gearbox can currently be purchased seperate from a kit. The Grubee box recommended above is the best middle of the road option out there but it is chinese and it does have its problems /quirks. The Hoot gearbox that you got with your kit is/has the worst reputation for problems and trouble.A little research didn't tell me this. What now? Don't get chinese! It's crap. So yer pos works it's still a pos! Don't get chinese.
True and it's also the same stuff they are using to make the food. Don't eat McDonald's food, it will kill you. YouTube - McDonald's 4 Year Old Cheeseburger VideoDo not buy Chinese! You ever get a happy meal toy? That's what their stuff is made out of.
I didn't think it was possible to have such a small diesel engine. I thought they had to have more mass to retain heat, and stuff. They are such high compression. And they have to have injectors and are really picky about bleeding fuel lines... etc. It doesn't sound very fun.I really like the little Honda engines, 49cc is a good size for performance and light weight. Now, if I could just find a 49cc diesel, that would be the direction I'd head in...
