Hi all. I have decided to build a brass-era style motorcycle from scratch over the summer, something like a Pope Single, and I am currently looking for an engine.
I don't know what to use....the standard Chinese engine would always work, but I'd rather have something that looks, feels, and sounds old. Moreover I would like to have manual spark advance, to make it feel completely vintage.
Naturally spark advance would have to be engineered, but what about sound, appearance, and feel? Are there any good engines that fit my needs?
Needless to say I can't afford a real brass era engine, though that would be perfect.
Thanks!
