Default Tanaka 40cc

I have my Tanaka 40cc belt drive on a Ca 520 - 7 speed cassette
bicycle. I mounted my HP power pipe up to the Tanaka 40cc. There
was a very impressive power pick up at middle to high band with just
the stock carburetor. I have the HP carburetor and chrome air- cleaner
to mount to the engine at a later time.
The Triple V Rims with 14 gauge straight spokes with the Serfas Drifter
tires made for a very nice ride. Some joggers yelled for me to slow down
but I know that is the fastest I have ever been on a bicycle.

Tanakas are great motors alot of commercial stuff uses them plus the 40cc packs a punch for its size.

Hi Neat Times, yes it is a golden eagle rack mount. The HP power pipe
made a world of differance on the Tanaka 40cc. It runs extremely good
with the stock carburetor. I am not sure whether to bother with installing
the HP carburetor, I guess running time will give me the anwser.

What's the best place for for me to get a Tanaka 40cc; Monster S.P seems
awfully pricey?
