What people don't understand, is that NONE of these sellers actually produce the engine kits themselves... They buy them ready made & packaged from China.
Most kits don't come from China with any instructions, & the one's that do were written by a Chinese guy who has very little command of the English language (& very little experience installing a engine kit).
Then there's the problem of trying to write quality instructions that will work for literally millions of different style (& size) bicycles... (you can't); The instructions would be bigger than a old phone book!!
Last... The US sellers aren't much better than the Chinese... They're a just bunch of office & warehouse workers (making minimum wage) who don't have any experience installing these engines either... (How's the kid answering phone calls & emails supposed to figure out (over the phone) that your engine isn't mounted level enough to work)????
This is a big part of the reason I stopped selling (& shipping) engine kits years ago... (it's much easier for me to install it myself than to walk someone else through it over the phone).
Anyways... Welcome to the forum, & welcome to our addiction!
The kit I bought was designed for the Schwinn meridian and that is what I have plus its in the pics on their site. Truthfully I am very happy with the kit and very happy I bought it, I also knew it would get figured out cause thats what the internet is for. Thanks for the welcome and everything you sayWhat people don't understand, is that NONE of these sellers actually produce the engine kits themselves... They buy them ready made & packaged from China.

You were 100% right
Riding it around it had an annoying miss fire added a little more oil and its running perfect. Thanks again
You're welcome...You were 100% right
Here's another little trick... Fill the oil level all the way to the edge of the filler hole... It gives it just a little bit extra without hurting anything.
Exactly what I did. I remembered I use to do that on my compressors when I worked construction. Thanks againYou're welcome...

That engine has a low-oil shutoff on it (yellow wire) on the engine. Make sure you run high-Zinc oil in it and None-Alcohol fuel which can be purchased
from the Shell gas stations, 90 Premium gasoline.
It has to say 100% gas on the pump. Octane grade has nothing to do with being ethanol free. The E-free can't be on a shared hose with E-gas either. In this situation, you can get as much as a 1/3 of a gallon of E-gas left in the hose before the E-free starts coming out.
