So, I've now got 8 bike builds under my belt and so far all of the engines have performed pretty well. My first two builds were kits from gasbike.net but then they went up in price, so the next 6 builds were kits from rose326a on ebay.
I have to say - these little engines seem to be damned reliable. maybe I've been lucky, or maybe the quality has gotten better over the years..dont know, but I'm pretty happy.
My latest build is a micargi puma stretch that I FINALLY just finished - after weeks and weeks of trial and error and about 5 different drivetrain configurationis, I finally got it. I've probably put 15 miles on it so far and it's running nicely. For this build I used a pull start system because several times pedal starting has destroyed the drivetrain setups, so I wanted to jack up the rear tire, start it, and test the system. This little engine starts right up on the second pulll....every time. and it's 38 degrees in NEW ORLEANS !!! This is the only place where you're sweating in shorts and a t-shirt one day and the next you're freezing your ass off.. plays **** on the wardrobe.
Now - my wife is pretty much fed up with 2 stroke weed eaters. I think we've probably bought at least 5 or 6 of them over the last few years and they are ALL a ***** to start !!! I can get them running after tweaking things and pulling many many times, but she cant. and she's fed up.
so why are these little china girls so easy to start and expensive weed eaters so damn hard to start ????
****, I might build a weed eater using a china girl motor !!!!!!!!!!!
