The Huasheng does not have a governor.
Do you have a Honda 50cc GXH which has a governor?
If you like your Huasheng 142F-cc 49cc 4 stroke don't do this

I hope your post didn't inspire him to dismantle his HS looking for a governor........
I would say to you that if he say's his engine has a governor its a really good chance he actually has an engine with a governor, panhead has been messaged about your concern.
This.
Iv'e been reading along, and I believe there is some miscommunication along the line...
Ive had that happen, i ended up with a side mirror in my gut, luckily we both stopped before he knocked me down. I just gave him a dirty look and a sharp slap on his window. Heck, i had someone turn across me when i was in the right lane and he was in the left, barely avoided getting my front wheel run over. They oughta call MBs dangerfields because we get no respect.
Wow, way old topic but still fun.
The HS 49cc 142F-1G tapered shaft clutch attached version are pretty damn good engines.
I have taken to using it's big brother lately, the HS 53cc 144F-1G engine.
In short they just bore out the cylinder at the factory for about .8 more HP but otherwise the exact same size.
I am also a big fan of the Skyhawk 4G transfer cases with 5:1 reduction, especially the model B with a 100T freewheel pulley not a freewheel sprocket.
I convert them to a 10G long shaft transfer case for direct right side drive for shifting builds.
100' stop at around 35mph?
More like 10' for my builds.
Dual disc brakes on a relatively light bike makes that happen.
19mph... Pfttt, nobody I know can actually commute at school zone crosswalk speeds all the time, I sure can't.
That is one on the goose neck between the speedometer and light.
It shows total Engine Hours when the engine is off, RPM's when it running.
Its nice next to the Speedometer, glance down and see both which is really important with a shifter.
As far as I am concerned a ~50cc needs gears to really be useful and about all I am building these days.
No worries about top RPM, just change gears to make the engine happy for the speed you want, and you don't need many gears.
I find an internal 3-speed to be ideal, but if you have a lot of hills a 5-speed is nice.
This is my latest shifting build with a 5-speed.
The thing will almost climb a tree and still do 40+mph flat out.
And yes, even at those speeds ~10' stopping distance.
As far as performance enhancements go I have two I almost always use.
1. NGK 7544 (CR7HIX) Iridium spark plug.
Its a sparks a bit higher, and it's a bit long for a bit more compression.
2. Ditch the stock can exhaust!
I use what is basally a 2-stroke exhaust with the Catalytic Converter removed for nice exhaust flow but a long pipe or really anything works better than that power sucking can exhaust.
Old topic, but some new info anyway ;-}

35mph is a good speed with good brakes and fatter tires, especially when your legal speed is 19mph.

Sure you can see rpms, with a ~$25 tachometer/hour meter.

Naw, never measured stopping distance at 40, but she'll stop in ~10' from ~30 mph.
Bottom line really was to make a point about having good brakes, there simply is no such thing as too much braking power and I was impressed with these builds ability to stop in a hurry.
I wish I would have had brakes like these a couple years back when a big delivery truck cut me off, I careened off him at a good angle but still bit the pavement hard, hospital stay hard, I am talking 'still hurts' hard.
I will repeat my montra...
Absolutely NO motorized bike is safe with just one brake, and the better the brakes you have are, the better the odds are you won't feel the pain too.
This topic is like putting your car in 2 and trying to go 70.. uh, DUH, what'd you think was gonna happen to your engine?
