On the HF 2.5 hp it is 79cc according to their info sheet. So is it about the same torque and rpm as the china kit motor.

Naw Deacon. RPM with out the gov is around 5,000 top. Dunno how to measure the torque, but the HF is a much better hill climber then a China Girl. Even with the added weight. They are huge in comparison.

They are fun to build with.

no fun for me, or hardly any. I am going to slap it over the rear wheel with a sprocket and the hub off a coaster bike as a drive wheel. How do you pull the governor off the mutha the easiest way. I am going to try it with it first working first. With friction if the thing turns to fast all it does is burn the tires I think. Have to try it to know though, i can always ease back on the throttle, I guess.

The weight I do know about. I ran that 3.5 hp Tecumseh for a couple of weeks before it died. It wasn't a bike with and engine attached it was an engine with a bike attached. The engine was literally hauling the bike around.
