Yep! Like I said.... BULKY BOXS!
Beginer...Just wondering why you choose a used Briggs for $240 over a new 212cc for $100?
Scotto...Im sure your 212cc is fast, but Ill bet my little 175cc 2 stroke would be the one doing the spanking! And my 175 2 stroke doesn't look like a bulky box!
I just wish the manufactures would focus their attention on a nice looking, inexpensive 4 stroke that was designed to motorize a bicycle, and not look like a bulky box!
Besides, cooling fins belong on the cylinder and head, not on a flywheel!
175cc two stroke huh? I thought we were talking motorized bikes here, not motorcycles. Try and tell me yours is a legal motorized bike.
I got my motor for $30. My frame is an american-built chicago schwinn, my engine is an american built briggs. I just ordered a shortblock for it for $120.
Why not a 212? Because in California, a legal motorized bike has up to 4hp and less than 148cc, above which it becomes a motor-driven cycle or motorcycle (the 3.5hp is 147.9cc) The only thing that makes my bike illegal is top speed not over 30mph. I've had it at almost double!! 55mph
Why spend a total of $150? Because I get a motor that beats your china 2-stroke in every way. It is also a flathead like the CG, but it looks better, even with single speed it accelerates better, the top speed is higher, I NEVER have to mix my oil and gas, it sounds better with open exhaust than any 2-stroke CG with any exhaust, and of course, it won't blow itself up after one year of heavy use.
Wait till I finish building my 2-speed auto. I will post a screenshot of my cad design. You will see there is not a lot of space, or it would have been a 3-speed auto with shifts at 4200rpm. How many rpms do you need to spin to go 30mph? Try 100rpm per mph with your CG.
