Now if you look at the picture of the motor closely,it looks to be a monster motor....

If anyone has heard anything about this kit let me know please....I plan on buying another kit in the next couple of weeks....I have never owned a friction drive and want it to be my next build....
Thanks
John

Hi,
Do you think that this is the same as a Harbor Freight engine?

If you click on the pictures of both engines to make them full size and look closely they look to be exact,from the pull start location to the carb,to the plastic housing to everything....Same with the the monster engine and BGF engine....

I drive 20 miles round trip myself and need a reliable engine to use....I think the best bet is a rackmount....My china girl HT is just not reliable enough....

My round trip ride is half of yours. I only ride 5 miles each way. Been doing this now for about 2 years (during late spring thru mid-fall) and haven't had any major problems yet. (knock on wood)

For less than a hundred more, you can get a Subaru Robin EH035 from Staton & never have to mix oil & gas. Also runs like a top & produced in Japan.
I get 32 mph from a BMP friction kit (getting aero) & lots of MPG's.
