so you say i'm getting on blankbox for not knowing something?
yes he is a newbie, so he didn't know until now that he'd
been lied to. not
his fault. since enuff peeps list and sell 66's all the day long, the guys who're still selling "80cc" HT's are lying tho they don't need to. but the target is the newbie/impulse buyer as a competitive strategy, said strategy being unfair & dishonest imo. it's also a great way for the "box-seller" to dump shabby goods.
as you know, i have a personal stake in the info at MBc being as correct and as organized as possible, far as i'm concerned there'd be no OT here at all, plenty of members browse this place daily and never leave the garage/technical area.
as you also know, we here in ocean park went through a lot of bicycle engines during MBcs' first 2 years, and we shared all we learned bluntly. shenannigans was proven on the 80cc was when we tore one down and discovered it for what it was, and posted it here in may '07, with pics:

3 years is long enough for this to be going on. the "80"
anywhere in a listing should have faded away a long time ago. one month of seriously boycotting anything-80 and no more newbies will be lied to, ubetcha...and the reputable HT-suppliers who've come along will get more of what they deserve.
since this forum subject-line will eventually be a "80cc" search result, any
new newbies who click it will be clued in quick (unless you think it's ok for the seller to dupe a novice?) to the myth of the "80cc Chinese Super Bicycle Happy Time"...this is how consumers get things done, by telling each other stuff.
blankbox7: now you know more than you did about your engines
based on what you wrote:
of course you don't need racing experience to realize engines do have personalities. however, the closer to production level 2 engines are, the more likely they can be made to run almost identically. if you're sure you're looking at 2 "identical" kits then different mixture settings would give the results you've described. it's not a promise, it's just my best guess based on some good experience. so if you haven't already, might as well have a look at the needle-settings...or, look for a tiny leak in one engine :helmet:
