New to this but want to mod and what to get

All the kit engines are basically the same, with small differences in quality depending on the vendor.
I'd go with a cheap $150 kit until you get some experience and can decide where to go from there. I've bought a bunch of these kits and have had great results due to careful assembly and maintenance.
You can easily spend $1000 bucks or more buying high-end parts and still have a shiny turd.
Learn what you like and what works best for your application before you go nuts buying parts.
I'd start out with a simple kit, then after it's fully broken-in, add a tuned pipe and/or a 36 tooth rear sprocket.
I recently bought a balanced Gen V engine from MotorBicycleRacing and am loving the smoothness and power compared to the stock kit engine. This engine is a great upgrade once you have a bike up and running.
The sky is the limit from there!

The Gen V is just an engine, no kit parts included.
It's more of an upgrade from the stock engine. Much smoother and better built overall.
Fred has lots of nice performance parts if you have the cash to burn.
I'd suggest learning on a stock kit, then upgrading as you decide what you like.
The first upgrade I would do is a tuned pipe.

Well, do you want chain drive? There are adverts of Polish assembled friction drive kits.

Very few, if any, Krasny Oktobr engines went to America, so nobody is likely to know. Do you know anyone with a Chinese engine to be able to compare them, or one of the later model number KR?
There might be small differences, they might fit exactly the same.

There's really only 2 Chinese engines, the 48cc and the 66cc. Power hardly varies from engine to engine. A stock 66cc is hardly different from another stock 66cc.
Do some googling....... Pull starts break all the time and centrifugal clutches are tricky to get right. You can always add those parts on later.
Ludwig was talking about comparing to the Russian D motors.
The Chinese bicycle engines come in 48cc, 55cc, 60cc, ~ 66cc/69cc and maybe other sizes too?
There are significant differences between stock "66cc" engines.
I have a 1.5 engine ussr d6. Red Oktyabr.Esli Does anyone have any questions about these engines, I am ready to tell you.
