Hi,
Absolute newbie here. Have purchased on older steel frame mountain bike to try this on.
Looking forward to being part of this forum and learning. So here's my scenario: Looking at towing up to a 200 lb trailer on old 4WD trails in the mountains with some hills. Don't know if it would be best to do some 2-stroke engine upgrades like bikeberry.com boost bottle, an expansion chamber, 'race' muffler, etc. for extra power. Found a 60 tooth sprocket at custommotorizedbicycles.com that maybe the most important part for more torque to rear whee for towing power. Am I on the right track or not? Not interested in speed, but towing on hills kind of power.
Also, this engine needs to reliably work when it's raining as we are up in remote mountains and I understand they (engines, ignition) are not weatherized. What mods do you guys do to get them to work in wetter conditions?
Thanks,
Jon
