Will it hinder and/or alter the way the engine performs if I drill some lightening holes/cosmetic holes in the fan cover on the 79cc predator?

Thanks

Click to expand...

The pull start vented cover?

Other than maybe structural integrity to brace for the pull start forces I see no reason more air/ wire holes would hurt anything.

I cut out a good chunk of the bottom on the last 79cc I built for crank clearance (pedal crank that is) with no probs whatsoever.......you can make swiss cheese out of them if you like!
