My bike setup

This Pic is of the bike I am using for my build.

This pic is a stock 36tooth sprocket from thatsdax with all edges filed and a light sanding.

In this pic I have added automotive rubber undercoating to reduce sprocket noise plus it looks cooler.
You can get a can for like $3.00usd.

I will have more pic's when my motor kit comes in, I will be also putting the rubber undercoating on all the side plates to reduce noise and plus it looks good. I will be port matching the intake and exhaust, and making sure all bolts have thread locker on them. Making sure the intake tube has no blockage and trimming the piston skirt too. ----edit----- I don't think I need to trim the piston skit since I trimmed the intake manifold.

I like your sprocket. I also think that, since you're doing all that good stuff, you might as well go ahead and replace all the studs, nuts and bolts.
I know I'm looking forward to seeing more pics of your build and am anxiously waiting for the pics of the finished product.

Great ideal on the sprocket!

Whats all that white stuff? Did someone put too much soap in the washer machine?

My kit should come in the mail by fedex tomorrow and I will be Taking Pictures of every step in the process of putting it on my bike. I still havent decided to coat the cover plates when I get the kit because it take like 36hours for the stuff to dry completely that sounds like a thing I would do when I go for drill on the weekend but I still will be trimming the piston skirt (if it needs it) and making sure the intake and exhaust ports have good flow.

Nice Reg454. I am ready to start my project, and am very interested in the porting process. Please keep us informed with pics in info on this. Iwill start by increasing the compression with a new sick gasket and also by using gasket sealer (High temp copper according to Fairprice31). I think any further nods would decrease the lifespan of my engine.

I got my kit in and installed it. I had too trim the intake manifold up to 3/4 of an inch from the mount just to get the carb to fit I also had to take the air cleaner off and trim a litlle bit from the top of the carb when the air cleaner go to get it to fit too.

i posted a pic up at the top. I still have a little bit to do like get a good plug wire and cap plus I am using a smaller spark plug, and run the wires better.

Last night I got a flat so I went and got a good innertube for the back and put duct tape around the rim in the inside. And today my master link broke (I think I put it one the wrong way no worrys I got 2 more and this time I put it on right lol.

Hey Reg454,
I would HIGHLY recommend that you try to get the carb mounted
as close to level as you can, other wise you WILL have carb float
level problems big time. I know it can really be a hassle, but every
thing effects the way the engine will run, including removing excess
intake manifold gasket material and exhaust pipe gasket material that
will alter the flow of your carb mixture and performance. You will find
that there is plenty of help available on this forum, so take your time,
and enjoy your winter project.
