Hi is there any info on jet sizing for a 22 mm on a gc 160? I have the same set as you, it just does not have proper power with the stock jetting the carb came with. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
Location is Chenoa, IL. and not many motorized bikes running around just golf carts in the small cities.
Up date.......lets see um all is well i think , I've been changing sprockets these past few days from the 32t to the 56t and so far the 48t
Hello Randy, I saw some pictures on a post of your giant stiletto, it looks awesome! Can you send me more pics of it? And maybe some tips? I have the exact same bike and i would really like to build something like yours.
Hey old fart, was just reading your posts. In your first one you threatened to "move home to Maine" Where from ME are you? Are you still in ME now? I'm in Glenburn just a hair out of Bangor. If your close by we can plan a tour if your bike is ready then. Curious to know how the 2 to 4 change is going. Also; Post some pics of your progress

Hi Paul. Is that one of the two "studs" that hold the exhaust pipe in place? If so I'd just buy a regular metric fastener at a local hardware. Don't over tighten these cause they will strip the block threads easily. Rick C.

i really dont like putting bolts into aluminum, i just needed extended exhaust studs for a rebuild i just bought 6mm bolts long enough and cut off the heads clean up the cut with a file then double nut and use locktite to put them in and you wont have to worry about stripping the aluminum.

In a worse case senario i have redrilled to tap and thread 8mm once again cutting off bolts for studs, of course i had to drill out the pipe flange to fit
Hey for your 79cc shifter build did you use the mounting plate that came with the kit, or a different one? Tried looking around to see if you've already posted it, and looking at your pics it looks like the sick bike parts mount that comes in the kit.

I did use Sick Bike Parts' four stroke mounting plate, but I had to drill it out to match the bolt diameter and pattern. It's built for the 49cc 4s engines, which has a tighter pattern than the 79cc.
After I install the sprocket on the back wheel. And but it back on. The wheel wont move now. It's a single speed beach cruiser.

The best adapter is the 3 piece 3 bolt made by Sportsman Flyer here in the U.S. but I don't know if he has the 1" adapter, which is a relatively rare size here in the States for motorized use. His info is located in the vendor sidebars here on the forum as is Gas bike. You won't have many vendor options on the 1" size though. 44 tooth is the best all around sprocket.
