The new Whizzer kits from Tawain

[chainmaker]

I saw on the other forum a pic of a Boardtracker whizzer that was a new production and going to be available soon. Has anyone purchased one of the newer engine kits from same seller, and what are the pros and cons of them. This is the website. http://www.cruzzermotorbikes.com/index.php

What I'd like to know is...

Are they really ready to plug and play or is motor work required to get them to operate properly, and what is needed.

Why would they need motor work? Where did that come from

Just thread info about earlier versions, hoping these are good to go they would open up motor options for a lot of guys. C'mon someone or a couple guys who have them ....let us know!

I'm sure if they were bad you woulda heard? Don't fall into all the marlarky you hear from people selling "better" ideas or work

Hate to even post this but we just got one running that had a few issues. Wiring, carb jetting and crank was driven to the right where the crank and cam gear were touching. Looked like the engine had been dropped on the flywheel side. Now the little engine purrs like a kitten.

Sadly, the problems march on, and on.

Look for the following issues:
Blown head gasket
Loose head bolts
UN-believable head design [plug location, extra hole, small amount of small fins,bolt hole too near combustion chamber, etc]
Massive oil leaks
Excessive crankcase pressure
16 MM carburetor [jetted way wrong]
No right side lateral crankshaft support
Flywheel too small
Loose stator bolts
Wiring harness wrong at CDI plug [get a lot of calls about no fire]
Cylinder deck very rough [deep tool marks]
Head bolts stretch [grade 5]
ETC.

This is simply a ripped off Whizzer design with a bunch of quality issues.

Go ahead and buy them as they can be upgraded and made to work very well. Just don't hope to purchase the motor kit, Cruzzer kit, or whatever and expect it to be trouble free, because it is far from it.

If anyone needs information about fixing these motors, I will gladly supply it as I work on several of these motors every month. I will gladly offer DIY solutions to anyone who asks. I can also supply pictures of all the needed modifications & upgrades to make these motors stay together.

Just a quick fix for the defective wiring harness:
Pin 5 and pin 6 are reversed at the CDI. There are two sections to the plug, pins 5 & 6 are located in the small CDI plug with two connectors. Simply reverse the two pins in the plug, and motor should fire.

Have fun,

Even without having heard anything about them (which I have and am smart enough to listen), I'd not expect a cheap taiwanese copy of a Whizzer engine to run as good as the real deal. Just consider that expectation for a moment. Sometimes what you hear ain't malarky, it's coming from experience. I don't own a Whizzer, but I do trust the knowledge of the experienced Whizzer guys on these forums. Quenton Guenther is one of the most experienced Whizzer guys out there, and I've heard it straight from his mouth that these taiwanese copies need a good bit of work to operate reliably. Maybe it's true that you shouldn't blindly believe everything you hear, but racie35 you seem to dismiss a lot of what you hear as unfounded misinformation. Not everyone is out to spread bad information or make a dishonest buck.

I agree they're not so great copies....not every one will have every problem though. They're also not cheap considering

The word "cheap" is not always used to describe cost. You ought to know that, seeing as how you're pushing 60. It's also true that not everyone will have every problem, but if I were to buy one of them, I'd be sending it straight to Quenton for a teardown and inspection, since I wouldn't know exactly what to look for and might not have all the necessary tools or skills to fix one. The point is, it's more likely than not that one of these engines will have some sort of problem, since it sounds like their quality control is only slightly better than the China girl factories. People are sharing this information so that others are aware of what they might be getting before they buy it. It's a heads up, not a scare tactic.
