Ported cylinder

[Frostothebikeman]

Just wondering if I can buy a nice ported cylinder instead of making one my own... if I have to port it on my own no biggie but the less work i can do on this the better the way I see it right now... also what are reed valves and should I get them or should I not

Buy a few extra jugs and read up, then practice. We all screw up, part of learning. Or if you have friends that destroy motors, ask for their dead horses and practice on them.

See I got an extra jug with an entire motor... I wanna try getting that going again since it just had a clutch problem I couldn't figure out but now I know a lot more about these engines too

Ok then go through here, read the recent posts on porting, then go back a little more. Read till you got a feeling of whats going on. Then start lightly and work up your confidence. Take ya time, don't go to fast, troubles will come and they will pass. Really just take your time and do it right. I rushed my first port job, looks like a 5 year old got a hold of my die grinder and jug. Pretty embarrassing to see this jug. Lol.
