Re: Vibration???

i used the rubber in the fins and cardbard on the clutch and wow!! does it make a diffrence
 
WOW!!! I put the 4 cycle on over the weekend and I will NEVER use another 2 cycle after seeing how smooth this 4 cycle is.....also quieter. With the 2 cycle, I had major vibration over about 15mph. The 4 cycle cruises very smooth at 30mph, which seems to be top end on my setup.... 11 tooth on the engine and 48 tooth on the wheel.
The centrifugal clutch is kinda nice also and gets rid of one lever on the handlebars.
I liked the way the 2 cycle looked on the bike and the weight was distributed much more evenly, but I am much more happy with the ride on the 4 cycle.

Seems like the 4 cycle uses a little more fuel than the 2 cycle did. I haven't rode it enough yet to see exactly how many miles I am getting per tank. Also not sure how big the tank is, at this point. It looks smaller than a 1/2 gallon, which would explain why it seems to need fuel more often.

The attached pictures show the 2 cycle version and the new 4 cycle version.

Your mpg's should actually nearly double Gary. I'm very happy for you. Makes it just that much more fun!

I may need to do some carburetor adjusting then. So you think I should get better mpg's with the 4 cycle than the 2 cycle?

I am not sure how much the tank holds that came with the 4 cycle. It doesn't look like a half gallon to me, but I haven't verified how much it does hold. If it is less than a 1/2 gallon, then that would explain why it seems like it is using more. The cap on the tank has 1/25 on it, but I have no clue what that is indicating.

My 66 cc HT got 80-90 mpg on break-in fuel. My HuaShang got 145 mpg when new. Generally, those figures should improve as the engine "loosens up" a bit. Doesn't matter really. I still prefer the 4 stroke.
 
Does anyone know off hand what the capacity is of the Huasheng tank? I have the rear mount version so it has the plastic tank with the closed loop fuel system. The V mount version uses the standard tear drop tank.
