Okay, I haven't posted much in a while because after loosing the key that holds a sprocket onto the 7G transmission of my 49cc 4 stroke and not having the means to replace the transmission I lost interest in investing time into my motorized bicycle. Now that my car is currently sitting in my yard after being hit by a pick-up truck from the side I've decided to look back into the motorized bicycle way of life.
Instead of going with the 4 stroke again I've decided to just buy a 2 stroke kit and a new bicycle since the old one has seen better days. I haven't order either yet as I'm waiting for my paycheck on Wednesday so until then I'm just in planning mode on what I'm going to do. I'm going to try and do it right this time, being given a clean slab allows me to look at what made my previous motorized bicycle builds fail and how to avoid them.
I still have the parts to my old 2 stroke build and among the parts is my old straight pipe exhaust. The muffler portion of it broke at the weld leaving me with a straight pipe. I enjoyed the noise it made and was wondering on the new build if it'll cause any damage to the engine if I ran it as a straight pipe exhaust compared to using the default muffler that will come with the kit.
