I live where the summer temperature is the same but here we have 6 month long summers!
actually we are more interested in stories about these engines than we are in stories about quarters. (so sorry

When you said 115 degrees I knew it had to be in AZ. The only place that gets any hotter is Death Valley CA, and they don't call it Death Valley for nothing. I'm in Phoenix. I have ridden my MB to Yuma and back a couple of times. In the short winter. Our summers are also 6 months long, 4 month winter, 1 month spring and fall.

Out here in the inland empire it hits 110 in the summer all day... I have yet to test my 4 stroke in the heat just got it in October when the months finally started to cool. Kinda happy I got to break her in, in cold weather less stress denser air... Anyone with experience with a 4 stoke in horrid heat please feel free to pipe up haha

Welcome aboard TekStep, I am a desert dweller up North in Phoenix.
You in Agriculture?

For those of you that didn't know, Yuma's climate is why you can eat fresh salad in the dead of winter.
Just no fun in the summer is all, though with all the pavement and concrete the 'heat island' above Phoenix can get tough unless you know how to deal with it but that is another topic ;-}

They hold up better than a 2-stroke in every way including heat I feel, and I have built a couple dozen for use here.

Just keep the oil fresh.

I also recommend removing all the forced air cooling parts for the smaller engines like the HS 49cc and Honda 50.
These engines were designed to sit stationary and use a blower to move air around the cylinder, you are moving air by riding.

I haven't said anything about this except in passing as I haven't even tried it yet, but I have a hunch the HS ~50cc engines would have more power to the wheel if it didn't have to an air cooling system at all.
Maybe enough savings in power to re-use that power in an electrical system and still retain it's original power rating.

Untested concepts so far, but possible to even get them made.
