Update just bought upgraded he bolts for all the engine in cluding exhaust and intake only $13.50 cheaper to buy yourself at home depot than in kit I just currently waiting for my front wide motor mount and extended rear mount due to the size of streched frame hopefuly about a week ill have her running and videos

 

[Micargirovergt]

Got my engine all together and mounted just to find out my frame is just a bit long for the chain so now the wait for it to come in

Just won an auction on a race carb with jets

Just got my chain tensioner in it fits perfect and as you can see before with the stock I couldn't really adjust so chain was rubbing tire so I ordered a hub mounted sprocket so I can pull the chain a bit away from the tire

sweet where did you get the tensioner, I have only seen silver ones. I know i could paint but Also interested in the price.

So after many attempt's to get her started I found that the magneto cdi and magnet were fried so I went ahead and purchase all of them and a performance cdi now I'm running like a champ just breaking her in before I make a video

On eBay it was about $35 it came black and after breaking in my engine I suddenly notice a loss of power after inspecting bike I found our the head was cracked where the spark plug sits and in the front part causing loss of compression decided to use an old head that work better than before and just a head ups don't purchase copper head gaskets from eBay there only diped in a copper solution to appear copper after first use it will fall off and appear to be a normal aluminum one

So after break in she's running great I installed the after market exhaust and decided to get a voodoo exhaust pipe added more middle and top end torque I'm thinking now of placing this setup on another bike and putting a 212cc and fatter tires on the frame

 

[Micargirovergt]

I forgot to post up the40tooth sprocket adapter which definetly helped the chain rub plus now I am perfectly aligned and realized I had space for fatter tires

I also have two jobs and it's just a hobby trying to get it right the first time so it's reliable

 

[Micargirovergt]

Yeah well the video you linked shows the old Rover frame the new Rover gt frame is longer the seat tube doesn't match up with the pedals it sits behind it and I've worked on cars for years all good projects take time

 

[jMrL]

SWEEEET good to hear

 

[Micargirovergt]

Now I think I'm going to install a better head any good suggestions which is a great one

And after purchasing and installing exhaust and riding around I burned my inner thigh three times so I stopped at a small engine shop that actually had exhaust wrap it was $15 and free intallation

Hey you can always dress up a turd lol but she's actually very reliable I took my time when I first got her and built her well I never push her and when I rebuilt her she worked better than before

China girls can actually be pretty dependable as long as you're not always pushing the limits. Keeping the rpm down is the key.
