Compare 2 stroke brands?

The one I ordered claims to have a steel lined cylinder wall, 45 degree angle fire head, 203 crankcase bearings, needle bearing wrist pin, chrome sprocket, black exhaust system, and improved carburetor design.

If I don't get what I ordered, they'll have to redefine "Fire Head". :cuss:

FEDEX is delivering it on the 24th, I can't wait.

Thanks to everyone here for all the interesting input. I'm planning on buying another kit, because these kits will not be available at low prices forever; look at the economy and the exchange rate of the dollar.
 
If you ask me, the best 2 strokers of these kind of engines is by far the ones that king's motorbikes used to sell a couple of years ago, that was when the chinese were still trying to impress the vendors to make them sell their engines.
But, new I have had a very good experience with Dax's engines.

heh...i don't see a big price increase coming. If the economy is bad, money will be tight...so if they wanna sell 'em......heh....you see where I'm going here, don't ya? lots of sellers ... lots of competition!

and...yes. who did you buy from?
 
I might have screwed up, but I bought from Gasbike.net. Bike motor kits are not sold in Oregon; they can't legally run on the street here.

Gasbike doesn't offer any warranty, but they sell the kits for $119.00 plus 30 dollars shipping and handling, which seemed fair to me, if they meet the specs. that they advertise. But, I'm a noobie to these kits. They were very prompt, and had my order shipped within a couple of hours, and set me a FedEx tracking number. The initial contact with Gasbike was a guy on the phone that seemed savvy about bikes and motors.

Another company that I called offered free shipping, but I didn't feel comfortable with the way they talked and how they advertised; so I ordered from GasBike. The other company offered warranties and double talk; and as we all know **** with warranties is still ****.

What do you think?
 
i myself have looked at many different companys checked out their products the only thing i have against any of them is nobody is sure of exactly what the motor size is i bought 2 kits from kings motorbikes ive been really happy with the 1 i ride i was told that it was an 80cc engine then there are others who say i was sold a 48cc as an 80cc all i can tell u is i dont care it has all the power i need on a bike frame have a good day

my friend, called 80cc engine is only 66cc in fact.
we test our engines in order to get EPA cerificate, and the report said that.
so remember that if the bore by stroke is 47*40,then the displacement is only 66cc, if the bore by stroke is 45*40, then the displacement is only 61cc.

thanks

You can peek into the exhaust port, and if the engine has a steel sleeve, you will be able to clearly see it. My guess is that it is the standard chrome plated cylinder and not steel lined. (maybe he meant chrome lined?) $139.95 shipped is a decent price, especially if the service after the sale is good.

Most consumer grade power equipment run their pistons in a plain aluminum bore, with no hard plating or pressed in liner. So a chrome plated cylinder is much better than bare aluminum! The advantage to a steel liner is that they last a long time. You can easily "freshen up" a well used engine with a new set of rings and a light honing of the steel cylinder. While a plated cylinder may be deglazed with a hone, you always risk having the plating wear too thin and flake off.

can you give some pictures about the standard chrome plated cylinder and steel lined cylinder ? I want to know their difference.
