Tell me why this kit is crap and what I should get instead.

Newb here. I've been lurking for a couple days and I have done a lot of reading. I'd like to solicit the opinions of the grey hairs of the clan.

I found this kit from China.

I'll tell you the things I like about it, then you can tell me why I'm wrong.

• Huasheng 142FA four stroke motor
• It is a complete kit
• Shipping to Australia is really inexpensive
• The exhaust manifold is (hopefully) pretty quiet

There is not a lot available in Oz. Mostly I can get Chinese two stroke kits, which I still have to have shipped thousands of miles to get to my city.

What do you think, gang?

Dan,

Thanks for the reply.

Thank you for highlighting the importnance of a quality transmission/gear reduction.

How big a hassle is it to upgrade the transmission/gear reduction later? I would dearly love to get a kit like this http://www.bicycle-engines.com/49cc-4G-T-Belt-Drive-Complete-Gas-Powered-Engine-Kit.html, but the price difference is quite a bit, given exchange rate and that shipping from the USA costs so much more.

I guess it is all down to how much I value my time, eh? A ****ty kit will lead to hours of trouble in the future.

I guess I'd like someone to reccomend Chinese 4stroke kit.

If that isn't possible, I'll save my money for something better.
