Question Are all kits the same ?

Are all these 80cc ( 66cc, I have seen the math problem ), Chinese kits the same. I see them in all the ads and on EBAY from $120.00 with shipping, up to $200.00 or more and they all look the same. Maybe I haven't found the right thread in here, to read the differences. Anyway I'm new and looking to get into it, any help would be appreciated. Good ones, bad ones, etc. Thanks.

i bought a 80/60 cc kit from www. KINGSMOTORBIKES.COM and was very satisfied with the quality of the parts and the service . They are on sale now and are a good buy. You may notice some of the parts included are updated to be stronger and better quality than other kits . Check out the idler pulley it has double the mounting bolts that other kits don't have for example .

I bought mine 4 years ago from Kings too... First month the manifold broke in half, took him 3 weeks to replace it. Other than that it's still running strong. If it blows up tomorrow, I'll still got my moneys worth!

Would I buy another from Kings, sure but I'm going to try Grubee's first. Just to compare.

The basic engine part of the kit is pretty much the same no matter who you get it from.

Some have slightly better ancillary components, and some ship faster than others.

Most kits are fairly similar BUT if you look closely you can find slight differences....
