I am a seasoned dirt bike rider and racer.And with years of experience working on my bikes and engines.As well many other types engines.Since this is the case.Im after a top quality setup.Meaning I am afraid to buy any of these china produced kits.Or engines.When I already well know from past experience.China produces crap overall.I will say the 150cc 4 stroke engine that came in a small offroad buggy I paid 2 grand for.Was a quality engine.Being a Honda clone. Once I took it apart to do many performance mods.Anyways to my point.Does anyone know the true cc size?When all these engine kits state 66/80cc and there is not a engine of such a rating.There all of one cc rating period.Which tells me these are sadly a 66cc giving the buyer hopes of owning a true 80cc. Which would also explain the poor hp rating of only 2hp. When any quality 2 stroke engine will have a lot more hp than 2hp! No doubt about it. I also noticed the same issues with the high performance crap.Because in order to have a true port job or ported parts.You must have the cylinder and the piston both ported in order to be a top quality and proper working port job.Thats before the right type of port work for the riding you so do.Meaning a full range or low end etc. And that takes years of serious experience found at race tracks and race mechanics. I also know the importance of engine balancing any engine that is not.Will simply kill itself with time.Every engine must be balanced or its junk to start with.Then the kehin styled carb ?What in the hell does that mean?Is it a true replica of a Kehin carb?The bottom line is this.That company makes a good carb.However, for these smaller engines.The two best would be a walbro if made large enough to work on a true 80cc I cant tell you at this point.OR a mikuni carb which simply cant be beat for any motorcycle engine period.I ran these on both 2 strokes and big 74 inch Harleys with excellent results! My plan was to purchase the 80cc and then go to work making it a top performing engine.With a good port job and balancing and most likely milled stock head. OR thinner base and head gaskets.Till I gave serious thought about the real quality of the engine and all my work and added $$.I'm not so sure its at all worth it.Because of the quality of the engines internal parts.Starting with the bearings and rod and piston .Which is all there is less a flywheel and crank. So what can you tell me about any of this? Thankyou Randy
