This is a work in progress. I will post more about it later with more pictures.
07/23/09 The engine is a 49.8CC 3.2HP and it is upgradable to 5.8HP. I only have about 30 miles on it and most of them test runs. It seems as strong or stronger than my HT engine. My speedometer read 44mph when i opened it up recently. This is the same as the HT engine but the Morini isn't broken in yet. The Morini has some vibration at midrange but smooth at high rpm. Some of it may be the clutch and I hope it gets better. It is barely audible when idling compared to the HT. The pipe I have is loud (for me) but I'm working on it. I included a picture of my rear motor mount/jackshaft combination. It also holds the idler for the jackshaft to crank chain.
The rear hub is a Shimano Nexus 8 speed with a roller brake added. The hub is rated for offroad use and has about 400 motorbike miles on it with no problems.
