What? Do you actually think there's this clean assembly line out there everyone wearing white and they have health insurance and 401k?
I look at it like this.
They are cutting corners to the EXTREME.
And out comes a running engine good for many miles if taken care of or if the metal was casted decent enough.
It's a miracle engine.
I gave mine a name.
It's name is MOOP.

It's true ALL of the engines come from factories like that!! Not just the PK's...

I'm a little skeptical when someone posts a clip like that on YouTube saying that it's the "PK" factory. I would think it's another engine dealer trying to make the "PK's" look bad.

I don't use PK engines on my bikes anymore, But every PK that I built, ran great and seemed solid. IMHO

I have a PK 80 ready to go on my board tracker style bike. the 50 cc i use now on another bike is good. I think it is just luck if you get a good motor or a bad one! They are ALL built so inexpensive that it is like the lottery, win some lose some, but you can't win if you don't play! I am proud to live in AMERICA too Toker !

Looks like a hundred other shops I've seen in the USA. Whats the problem?
I see an air compressor coil on the right, one guy sitting down working at vise and one guy at the bench.

It's not like they are made in Detroit by $60 hr union workers but they have a better shop than I do! I'm building in a spare bedroom half the time.

It is what it is, how else are you going to get an ICE shipped to your door for a bit over a hundred bucks?

Been there, done that and moved on, in the end you get what you pay for.

Ironically, even the Chinese are not using them.
A friend just back from China says you don't see these little 2 smokes in use there, all gone electric.
