Death of a China 70cc... Now onto Morini 5.8hp

Well my china motor has finally been destroyed by a 3 cent part... The retaining clips broke (at the right angle bend) and got in between the cylinder and the piston... Two days later I was riding my other bike and the bottom end bearing went and trashed the cylinder and piston. Just my luck... Now im gonna repair the engine with the bad bearing and sell it.
I purchased a Morini 5.8 hp S6 engine from herdan on monday and already have it mounted on my black bike

Currently awaiting a 36 tooth sprocket before I can test it out

Post some pics of your mounting if you can. I'm very curious.

Looks good! If I were to suggest anything, I think you should try a 44-47 tooth sprocket. A 47 is my all time favorite for the streets. It still has plenty of bottom end, climbing power and top end. When I tried a 36 it took a while for the bike to hit the power band but when it did it was definitely too fast on the top end (55 mph and still not hitting its top speed) I have a high quality 36 tooth from Kings Sales and Service if your interested.
I'm not sure if you've seen this but here's a picture of my bike climbing a steep hill with a 47 tooth. YouTube - My Italian 50cc Motorized Bicycle climbing a hill @ 40+mph
Good luck on your project. From the looks of it, it looks like its going to be fast.
If you know anyone else looking for a Morini. Pipelyne sells them for $50 less.

I looked at the motors on the Morini site. Is that a kick start on the right side of the engine? I wish I could afford one, I'm starting to get a little annoyed with the Chinese kits.

Yeah that is a kick started Fin, I would love to have a Morini but I don't think I would ever have the extra cash for one.

Thanks for the suggestion easyrider, maybe Ill go with the 44 tooth I got sitting around, also thanks for answering my million and one questions about which motor to go with.

I had plenty of money in my china engine after I got it set up the way I wanted and the darn think grenaded... I figure for $502 and the reliability and power gained I would be better than a china motor anyday. One cannot appreciate one of these motors until you see one in person, the excellenct machine work and overall high quality of parts assured me it was money well spent

Yes, but I have been considering going to a 4-stroke and the cost of one of these engines is about the same as the cost of a half way decent kit and I am already set up for a 2-stroke. Would it be a bolt in replacement for a china girl? Does the engine come with a carb? If not does Morini make them? So many questions!
