I'm pretty sure I have the HT engine. I still don't know all the differences, but like I said, I'm fairly certain I have the HT engine. I bought it from BoyGoFast on eBay if that helps.
Anyway, I'm curious as to the reliability of the engine? I've read most of the "stickeys" and plan on making most of the upgrades. Plug, hardware, etc. But even after all that, there's still alot of chinese in there like the engine and head castings, piston, crank, rod, etc.
I'm asking this to prep the bike for a breakdown where I'd have to pedal it home.
The upgrades I've made so far is the chain tensioner. Last night I ordered a pirate hub and sprocket. Ordered a kit from them that includes a new 26" wheel. The tensioner that came with the kit pretty much destroyed my wheel. When I got it all assembled and took it on a ride, the first time I released the clutch to kick the engine over, the tensioner folded inward into the spokes. Bent 3 spokes and broke 1.
Thanks,
Joe
