Hi all, haven't been on in quite awhile now mostly due to my HT being dead. I tore into it and found it needs a total rebuild, the motor mounts are sheared off and I discovered some scoring in the cylinder when I started tearing it down. I probably have only 2500 miles on it, but I'll admit to not breaking it in properly and beating on it pretty hard. The fact that I had my couple of years worth of fun with it makes it money well spent to me. I think I've decided that I want to start with a whole new kit and a different bike. Actually, I tore mine down and started the bike transplant when I was here last, believe I even started a build thread before I tore into the engine and made my discoveries about it and sort of abandoned the project.
Anyway, I see looking at the kits that most places are selling a 2012 version now, but I fail to see any differences between it and my 2009 version. Is there any notable difference? The only thing I see is that most seem to have a different carb on them than my old HT.
FWIW, I'm looking at the 48cc Grubee engine this time around, I hear that the 48cc run smoother than the 66cc. My old one was a 2009 flying horse "80cc".
Also, I apologize if this has been discussed before, I did search but couldn't find anything useful.
