My motorized bicycle runs like a raped squirrel

Re: My MB runs like a raped squirrel

Nice the 49cc motors top out so much better than the 66. Nice tires.

Oh, I dunno. My old Tempus could s**t & git. 'Course I didn't exactly leave it alone, it was slightly ported, carburettor was tinkered with, etc.

I wish I knew how accurate my speedo was. I had her on a straightaway once when there wasn't another living soul around, so I did what any of us would do when nobody's looking. Bugs hittin' yer face really sting above a certain speed.

Well, yeah. If it's got a Morini, it'll do that. I hear if you're running a Morini you have to shine up the rear fender and put on a good working taillight, because that's the end that people get to see, however briefly.

Colder air = denser air. More power for the motor if it's jetted properly.
What motor are you using?

Re: My MB runs like a raped squirrel

Finally got the orange huffy build together and started yesterday and went a couple of miles- it's maybe a little sluggish- but probably won't do what the 66 does. Plus it's got a 40 sprocket comapred to the 36- I knew it would be more tame- but maybe somethings not quite right with gas supply and will probably pick up with break-in- Didn't want to wide open for more than just a moment.

the 700 wheels roll great with a 32mm on the front and 35mm on the back- it's very lightweight-It's a lighter motor- gotta find a scale. Gotta take some pix.

I think a lot of people feel the 50 might go faster when they haven't run a 66 with a newer 66 carb or billet intake. It really helps to get a short intake. This slant 50 is on sleeves- no intake- the carb sits right next to the motor, but the shorter front end mount makes it difficult to get a horizontal mount on the cruiser frame and the carbs still at a very slight angle.

bikenut i had the same idea for a gas tank - they has some pretty big aluminum water cans at the camping store so that's my next project - nice
