Hi.
Im very glad to have found this forum, I have been debating whether to buy a certain motor or not, and thanks to you all I have made my decision.
I think they are called King motor, they are a 70/80cc unit, looks to be made in China.
Anyway, the supplier is out of stock, I have emailed them. I hope to put it into a standard "oversize" mtb frame, possibly an apollo. I have been looking at older steel framed bikes and may have found one.
Ill probably replace the gaskets, kill switch (and add a keyswitch), replace the grip accelerator assembly and do some other mods the moment I get the motor. I'd rather start with quality. I have heard some of the parts are weak.
I have heard a few things about breaking in engines, one camp says that the engine should be babied and treated carefully, the other side says gun the engine to seat the rings properly. I understand the quality of engines nowadays means that the latter may be correct, however with these cheap chinese engines, would a mix be a good choice? Pressure the engine, strain it somewhat, then ease off and let the engine cool before doing the same again? :?
Nice to meet you all. Hopefully I will be posting pics soon.
