ypu might now want to try to port & polish yourself if you dont know what it is. Blindy removing material from the ports can result in power loss especially if you never done it before.

As far as free mods, you can also adjust your plug gap, check the drag on your breaks so your wheels spin freely, adjust the carb's airfuel mix and balance out your tires (tend to be kinda wobbly from the factory)

ok man just leave the bike alone lol, no realy just remove the plug, get a gap tool from autozone pepboys who ever, and check what the stock gap it, it should be .025

Remove the muffler, cut it open and remove any baffling in there. Weld it back up. Open up all the restrictions in your air intake, such as baffles in your air filter, etc. Then retune the carb.

Lol, i can do alot of the work w/ these bikes but not the basics lol

. Oh, Q if you arent trying to make fun of me lol, I dont have a welding torch.

Are there any sites that have instructions on how to port and polish? I have an old 37cc motor lying around that i may try it on. I also read that using high octane gas helps w/ preformance, is this true?

iDR07 · 08-26-2004

dont try to do it then... u screw up, u may lose power....

KillJoy · 08-26-2004

These are basically lawnmower engines. I doubt if a higher octane rating will really increase performance on a basically stock motor.

Meh its a cheap 43cc (did i say 47cc?) engine, i dont care if it fries

DSOLSI · 08-26-2004

beg to differ on the gas, poor methanol in it. it will run like a beast until it blows.

the difference between 87-93 octane is not noticible, but the difference between 87 and 130 should be

Anyone try non-oxygenated fuel yet. May be worth a shot.

High octane gas prevents detonation and pinging,it actually makes less power.You can pull the cover off your stock airbox,and bolt it back together with some washers to take up the slack of the cover being gone and get more airflow,my buddie picked up a couple mph doing this.
