Somewhat finished this build, boy was this one a pain in my ass. I’m not familiar with fabricating an engine mount as this bike isn’t suited for china dolls so it was a lot of trial and error, wasted hours, wasted money etc. I guess we learn from our mistakes though.
Anyways, I fired it up, ran bad, kept adjusting carb C-clip, richer seems to be working better for the idle. But it won’t stay idling and the power seems weak when I ride it. Also when it’s idling and I try to keep it running by hitting the throttle a bit, if I go too much with it the bike revs so high it sounds like it’s gonna explode!!
It has a reed valve on it (not too familiar with using these) I didn’t go with a windowed piston instead I tried a third transfer port at the intake with no boost port.
I think maybe it’s just a matter of carb tuning? Maybe a bigger pilot jet.
Cheers folks
