Hi all-
I'm new here on the forum and would like to thank everyone for their posts. I did a lot of my research on this forum prior to install, and all my questions had already been answered by running searches prior to registering, with the exception of a Boost bottle question which was answered via e-mail by the manufacturer.
I'm looking forward to putzing (and puttering) around with the new engine soon, but want to take my time in set-up and install to get everyting done the right way before start-up. I bought a Grubee Skyhawk 66cc motor kit earlier this month, installing it on a barely used Trek Navigator 100 (T*I*G*H*T FIT!!!! But pretty cool looking) and we'll see how it all works out soon. 10 or so years ago, I had a rear mounted engine kit with friction roller; it was pretty fun but after hitting too many potholes of various sizes and not having the knowledge and foresight of getting heavy duty spokes, I got tired of my rear wheel getting bent out of shape. Had I known then what I know now about hd hardware, I probably wouldn't have given that kit away!
At any rate, thanks everybody, especially the "old timers" for all the time and effort of submitting all this wealth of info.
