wealth of good folks here to ask too Dc. The good ones look out for each other
If you have a question, some one experienced will have some thing to offer.
Congrats to ur skills of saving money and building it urself. For me I dont have time to peice everything together and to port and polish my own so buying a setup fully built is easier.
glad all working out for you maybe the 75 jet will work well with a nice chamber and a 36 or less drive and i would look careful on the tensioner or change it using the decompression valve
Dumpstercrusher, I also bought a 'built' engine and it has been the most reliable part of my bike. The standard Chinese accessories that came with it fall very short by comparison. Slowly replacing them!
It sounds expensive in comparison to an eBay kit, but if you count the custom machining, assembly, design and overheads into it, it is dirt cheap and could only really be done as a labour of love.
I'd do it for a living if it were otherwise.
LOL, there is no crying in baseball or ducttAPE in tANK mounting. (I spilt beer on the keyboARD AND a ev

ThANKS AZabill! lol (the beer cAME OUT OF MY NOSE. Long story)
lol its okay. Well I'll be rebuilding the bike starting with a new frame so I can live with the ghetto gas tank lol
Just wanted to say, do what you want with what you have to do it with and enjoy what you've done, if you're happy with what you have and you enjoy it just the way it is, I say who cares what anyone else thinks.
None of my bikes are very fancy but I enjoy every minute I ride any of them.
Happy safe riding.

I reckon the china kits should come with a roll of duct tape. Standard tanks don't come with turtle wax, as you can't polish a t.......
everyone saying they can do it for cheaper... do it then. There must be a reason why none of the very reputable vendors advertised on this site arent selling 5-9hp chinas for 300 bucks. But the first reputable person that puts one up for sale, ill buy 3 where i would have bought one 9hp.
I dont think its silly at all, especially since ive had so much trouble after taking these engines apart. Having to take it off put it back together try to run it, take it off again, change carbs change jets inspect the head...
I finally just wanted something that i could leave the head on, get the power and just go. Its worth every penny.
I hope to hear some speed figures DC... I have been looking at fred's site too.
