this is another strange option that i'm very seriously considering Sachs athena 80cc 48mm reed kit REEDS!
i finally put my little crankenstein experiment on the dyno. i couldn't figure out an easy way to strap it on, so i had to start the bike in the street and ride up on it. getting the inertia wheel spinning smoked my clutch after a few runs and i had to limp it back to the shop. anyways, i got one solid pull and here it is. a little over 5hp at the wheel at 6800rpm. top speed of 47 which works out to almost 8800rpm, i probably could have wrung out 48 but i wasn't being too greedy. definitely not 50mph though. i think i may take a couple inches out of the pipe with another tiny dose of port work for the next expiriment.

some 48cc systems will do between 35 and 45 mph
Yeah. Down a very steep hill with the engine disengaged. VERY steep hill.with a shift kit i bet you could hit 60
well this engine is pretty good for speed,so i have to ask where can i find a high performance stock engine kit that i can start out with? ive built two motorbikes sofar for my brother and i that run great but im looking for speed so im selling mine and starting from scratch. what engine (if any) is a good start for speed?
Do share and put some clarity on this statement? He is not using a china jug for one.. This thread is not his finished product. So like he was just supposed to put this magic reed valve on and polish a rough designed china jug?You need to get the reed valves that are right for the engine, i have them look at my signature video
Sorry GH i thought this was posted on the other thread, yes it is a totally different Jug i was just stating that a perfect set of reed valves would bump up the torque quite a bit, please relax?Do share and put some clarity on this statement?

The china jug is primitive and archaic in its design. It cannot be corrected. Needs to be put back in the melting pot and re-casted with better scavenging porting and the works. It can be replaced
Put a you tubed dyno test up.. So like yur gunna say this motor of yours has more Horse power http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR4dqSf16xE
It absolutely kewl that folks mod these china motors I just don't dig on confusion. lol.
Your carburetor is not a 24mm Mukini. The finished motor ran with that and was 70cc or darn close to it. Those reeds he ran breathed very good! I got to look at myself in person at all of these jugs and their prospective porting. The Morini and the Puch there is really no comparison.
To see a piston in the likes of Morini motor half the size of a China H.T. putting out up to 12hp. Say a lot.
Does your china run at 12,000 to 15,000 rpm? All day long!
Easy was around 11,000 rpm ''the finished motor I remember right''
I can see a balanced china motor crank and all getting about 4 hp max! But the scavenging ports and the way they are presented in the other jugs are far superior IMO. They can support the airflow that makes this power!
Does your motor have a centrifugal clutch? The hand caliper actuated run of the mill clutch will never hold grip with the power this ran. It ended up with a modified and balance centrifugal clutch with custom springs for a high stall.. At about 9hp

Carbon fiber paper sheets can be bought in varying thicknesses for a reasonable price. Not too bad. https://www.google.com/search?q=car...or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=ff42559d799f52a1 They can be cut and trimmed to size. The Reed set Foureasy went to was a 4 petal carbon fiber. They flex good and allow more air flow.2 petals, only that small cause they where to stick into the port, there a fiber glass compound i believe, they chose this materials so if they broke they wouldn't cause engine damage, but ive rung the sh*t out of my engine with the reeds on and they dont show any signs of fatigue, i could have bought carbon fiber petals but that would have cost me $200 when i got the whole thing for 65
