I built a motorized mountain bike during the spring using a 48cc two stroke kit from King Motor Bikes. I worked through a lot of problems but everything is pretty solid now except for one issue: The plastic bushing that adapts the carburetor to the intake tube seems to be too soft for the application. It appears that the heat, the gasoline, or the ethanol is attacking the plastic so that it loosens up its grip on the intake tube. You can only retighten the bushing clamp so many times before you run out of travel.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to solve this problem. I can't find anyplace which sells the bushings. I'm thinking that maybe high temperature RTV (orange colored silicone) might do the trick but I thought I'ld seek advice here first.
Thanks, DMARTI01
