all the HT kits are basically the same.
I disagree. the engines Cheez Fickenworth sells have noticeably better castings, larger transfer ports, and come with an o-ring preinstalled in the carburetor

I was referring to the generic kits, haven't seen a Cheez engine. I know that Mark Clyde Stewart has the new PK80's for $100 (engine only) they are supposed to be superior, better balanced engines.I disagree. the engines Cheez Fickenworth sells have noticeably better castings, larger transfer ports, and come with an o-ring preinstalled in the carburetor

The exact point I was making on another post, that you panned; so it takes at least $550 for a decent build, your words, a complete GEBE system only costs $100 more than that, that's brand new from golden-eagle (USA and Japanese quality built system), will out last cheap chinese copies by 1000's of miles (even if bought used), and will have 1/4 the headaches.Bummer for you. You can cheap out early and learn your lesson, or just understand you can't build something reliable for under ~$550 with a good bike and end up spending more than that trying keep the turd running even with constant breakdowns until you give up.

I don't believe in o-rings (unless one has a CNS carb which I don't like) - but would like to see more info on his kits - hoping he gets a web page or ebay store sometime soon.
