I'm looking at this kit too. There seems to be a few discussions in the archives about this motor. One earlier adopter find metal shavings and poor workmanship, other owners seem to like it and have not had any issues. Some users suggest taking it apart and inspecting the engine as a good measure for any purchase.

I wonder if it is possible to get more than 4.5 HP out of it or if it can even get the 4.5 HP that they claim it to have.

Anyway, I hope that you can find the information that you need.

Do you think that it might be better to just buy a PK80 and source all the parts myself for this engine vs paying someone else for their 'fast' version of this engine?

I'm going to go ahead with this motor and order everything on Monday. If it turns out to be anemic, I will just learn all that I can from the guys here and tune it myself.

I am about to buy one of these, just hope they are not junk. Guess I can spend extra and get it cleaned up and dialed in if needed but hope I don't need to.

Cool, in for the pictures!

I also ordered the SBP expansion chamber exhaust and have a 40 tooth Sprocket / hub adapter for it.

I don't know if I should get the GT80 or go for a 79cc predator the price is almost the same and mounting doesn't seem too hard.

I really want a 2 banger.
