Im looking for a decent engine to get me home with a friction drive setup. My commute is 15miles each way 2-3 days a week. About 13 miles flat and a good 1-2miles up a big fairly steep hill. I want to keep a good cruise speed at 30-35mph. on the flats. Im not to concerned about a rebuild but it is a good 30mile commute. Im looking at the GX50 but i have read some good threads on the TLE47 or maybe 43.
What would the experts suggest? How are the 49cc chinese engines compareable?
I currently have a 33cc Poulan Chainsaw setup, but i think its over heating trying to keep a 33mph cruising speed. It'll run for about 10 min. then It will lose power, shut down, then start up about 10min. later. it has a new plug, filter, clean carb, and smooth gas lines. I'll have to play with the tuning, it might be too rich. It got me up over the hill, with some good peddle assisting.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
