KingsMotorBikes - 4 Stroke Bicycle Engine Kits - 4 Stroke Gas Bicycle Engine Kits - 4 Stroke Bicycle Motors Kits

ok im seriously considering this motor kit for my next build. I would like to try a 4 stroke engine and the price is perfect on this website.

I looked over a few reviews and King's seems to be a professional buisness

Please give me any advice you have on this kit.

thank you members

Go for it! You can't beat that price and Kings is a good dealer.

thats same thing i was thinking also Toytime, but I was hoping some one else here has purchased and used this kit and could give me there thoughts on it

I have not bought this kit, but that is a great price. I can't find any mention of a transmission or reduction gear. I would ask b4 ordering.

Edit; opened a larger pic. it does have what looks like a hoot GB.

yea i beleive the set up is similiar to an 80 cc with an integrated clutch system.

had the wife not been with me today at Dicks sporting goods. and nagged on me about buying a 97 cc mini bike 4 stroke I would be working on that project right now. LOL but that engine would have worked for my needs pretty nicely with some modifications. Its was 299$ for an entire mini bike , if nothing else it would have made a great pusher motor set up ya know.

2Funny, same thing here but a few weeks back. Really would make an awesome pusher.

dunno if you are still looking, but if that is a hoot GB, here is a link on them; http://motorbicycling.com/f37/hoot-r...ters-5738.html

whoa Dan, thanks for that link. I have seen it before but i also forgot about it . i think I will pass on that kit even though it looks tempting. there may be a reason it is so "cheap" in price ya know. I dont mind putting a build together but i start throwing hammers when the motor itself wont work properly. (kidding , but u know wat I meant)

That most certainly is the "Hoot" type gearbox. I have yet to hear a good report about that gearbox. It is known for breaking gears and for the clutch drum coming apart. Buy it if you wish, but don't say we didn't warn you.

naw HoughMade, I will head the warnings . I like working on small engines but I dont like to get something i will always be having issues with as a few other members have stated.

thanks for the intel members

thats a good price for a 4-stroke.thats the one i would have got but it was more than my 2-stroke for $149.
