mod Q's

hey all, im new to the 2 stroke side of things and pocketbikes in general. im currently using a standard cag engine for a school go kart project and i was wondering how much power i could get out of it on a budget. i done some searching on ebay and can pick up a :

bbk - 49cc BIG BORE KIT - Pocket dirt bike rocket, Quadard (eBay item 190463534986 end time 01-May-11 09:16:07 AEST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats

pipe -http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110588537179&ssPageNam e=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_1866wt_905

and carby - 49cc CARBY KIT High Performance. 2 stroke Pocket Bike (eBay item 190482878434 end time 22-Apr-11 23:24:35 AEST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats

for about 170 all up with reeds and a rocket key. are these the right things to be doing ? ive had alot of experience with pit bikes but thats a whole different setup. all input would be appreciated. cheers

Both the big bore kit and carb together will work well together. I'm running the same combo in a cag and find it reliable. Not sure of power output but it is a big improvement over stock. However the kit does not come with a gasket set which you will need and if the motor is apart i would be changing the crank bearings and seals to quality items at the same time. Chinese bearings are only good for scrap metal value.

cheers. for a little extra i can get a kit with a full circle crank with bearings and the gaskets so i might get that one instead. thanks

You will probably find that the bearings are still chinese bearings. Your best bet is to go to a bearing supplier and get quality bearings.

ok will do. cheers
