Bad Occ Chopper Made

TerrontheSnake · #1 06-01-2009, 01:00 PM

Hi all, My name is Terron. I have a Schwinn Occ Chopper, moped I have made. I will post Pics as soon as I can but I'm at work right now. Once I do I just want Feedback, but I'll start by Breaking Down what I've done. I have a 80cc (Probably 65-75 cc actually) motor running premium non methanol fuel, which I mix up with 2 stroke racing oil.I have a fully customized adjustable Motor Mount (You guys might wanna try this) It has a pull bolt mounted up front so you can wrench the motor forward or backwards to adjust for tension and a Locking bolt towards the back which must be loosed before wrenching on the pull bolt. It has two "U" plates under that for the sliding mechanism. I also have Vibration isolators between the two to minimize Vibration throughout the bike. I have slightly modified one of Barry's thunder pipes to fit where I need it. I have also Modified a 18spd derailer (Rear) to use as a Tensioner which results in a much more reliable ride. I am now working on a fully custom color scheme of Red and Black with custom snake skin accents throughout. Once I post the pics be sure to let me know what you think of my ride. Thanks all and best of Biking luck to anyone who tries!!

I would definitely like to see pics of the motor mount! Just an opinion but I don't think you're gaining anything by using premium fuel.

I am gaining I'll explain First I have a much lower Idle speed without warming the motor up. Saves me gas! I hit my powerband twice as fast and I have cooler running temps. Plus with a higher octane the fuel effecienty is improved as well as you have less particulate in the fuel and your motor says cleaner and runs better longer. There is no reason not to run a higher octane accept worry of blowing you rings, rods ect. But it is not that higher powered simply better quality fuel, you get what you pay for even with Gas.

Also the new ethanol based fuels are actually a solvent and it will dissolve crap in you tank and let it through to ruin your carb and cylinder.

Ethanol in fuel will eat rubber components if there is too much, but unless they have upped the content to 25% or more, you have no worries.

Better fuel because it's higher octane? I doubt it, more likely you are getting a higher quality fuel where you buy it, and in all probability ALL the fuel they sell is a good quality.

What brand are you using?

The "gain" you are seeing is due to a correct air/fuel ratio.

Finally (yes I can go on and on) there is LESS worry of "blowing your rings, rod, ect" due to the fact that higher octane burns slower with less detonation.

That makes no sense Joe. Higher Octane means the fuel contains more of the explosive components Meaning that it ignites easier at a lower temp and combusts more completely and burns out faster. I have built race cars and, I work with Fire and have taken courses on fire behavior. I fully understand higher octane means I'm pretty sure I know this.

BTW I'm trying to be argumentative, but I thought I had a good understanding of all this correct me if I'm wrong.
