Hi All,

Stumbled on this earlier today on eBay....Thought it might appeal to somebody's quest for POWER!


Pocket bike Blata Rep Water Cooled Motor Engine 12hp - eBay (item 140275355640 end time Oct-18-08 06:55:31 PDT)

Price seemed good too....especially since a HT engine costs nearly the same....
I would get it but I have tooooo many projects going as it is...

That's a C1 motor. I use to have one on my spec kart and there good motors but the internal water pump is junk. I had to block off the water pump and use an external pump. It's a 40cc motor but the true hp on those motors are 8 hp. I had a few of these motors back in the day so I experimented with a wet nitrous kit and blew up all three extra motors! LOL

Sounds like you had fun frying them naughty engines. I love the smell and sound of Castor oil,nitro and methanol being burned violently.

HI Easy,

8 HP that's still quite a lot!! I guess finding a place for the radiator could be a pain though.....

PS - Loved your videos on your new suspension bike!....Just curious but how hard do you think it would be to get a shifter kit on the Morini or would you basically have to start from scratch?

Hmmmm...
I'll have to take pictures of the motor for you because you guys know more about the shifter kits than I. I'll post pics of the motor after I get back for taking the boys to Kung Fu.
