finally got a pic of the motor, hopefully this might help someone identify it for me. thanks guys
could anybody help me identify this motor?
it looks to me like a honda clone, has ohv and the number on the case is
PW1600508090849 also says 68x45mm
im going to get a pic now, should be posted in a few minutes but i was hoping someone may be able to tell by the numbers on it, im looking to know what hp it is or cc size and maker if possible so i can find parts when i figure out whats up with it.
thanks for any help have a great day

Looks like a Jialing either GX120 3.5hp or GX160 4.5hp..It can be modded to be pretty mean,,,you gotta open the case,,disconnect the governor,,add hp valvesprings,,mod the plastic fan ,, mod the atomizer tube and make a free flowing exhaust hedder

man thats great to hear, that it can be modded nicely. the guy i bought it from said it came off a lime green go kart with a roll cage bought from RK and he thought it was a 4hp so im gonna guess its a 4.5, is there anyway that i can tell between the 3.5 and 4.5 like a dead giveaway? how do i find out which it is, cause id hate to wait a week for parts then find out i got the wrong ones.
i got the motor , 2 rear tires including the large spur gear or whatever they are called thats attached to the wheel, and the clutch setup he had on the kart all for $25 i hope thats a decent deal, i figure if i get the motor going its worth it and even better if i actually am able to mod it then yay ill be a happy stamper
I see you have bore x stroke dimensions....the dimensions on these engines are in inches...find the one the bore x stroke matches and you have your answer.............

thats awesome man, did your pops get you into it or help you with it at all?
ive been bankrupt, it sucks and thats one of the reasons im trying to learn to do it myself. I have a ton of tools by now but need to get some heavy duty machinery and a shop, im working in out in the elements right now so it kinda sucks when it starts raining cause it ends the day and i can only work on small stuff that wont make a mess or cuase any dust in the house for my daughter. ive seen some of the stuff you have built and i am very much impressed. i probably know about what you knew at age 9 luckily my pops has always been there to bail me out and keep my vehicles running but now hes getting up in age and i just hate to bother him to do this stuff anymore so im giving him a break and growing my own pair.
oh yeah, i went and bought a mini hacksaw today so i was gonna try to cut the fins off my flywheels, is 3/8 of an inch the furthest i can cut them down or will it have a neg. outcome if i go further down the fin??? just wondering so i dont try to play hero and cut off too much making the motor useless until i get a new flywheel
Yes my Dad did help out and the one who taught me the basics and then some.He was machinist first class on the USS Hancock from 59-67.................He owned his own machine shop for over 40 years..I worked for him for a couple years when I was 16-17 after school and on saturdays but went in my own direction so no-one can say I skated through life on my Dads coattails and hard work............Then vocational schools like Boces helped me aswellthats awesome man, did your pops get you into it or help you with it at all?

The way I mod my flywheels are the best way for me and my builds....The engine doesnt gain too much extra heat by cutting the fins too short and the flywheel performs better than stock modded that way..............oh yeah, i went and bought a mini hacksaw today so i was gonna try to cut the fins off my flywheels, is 3/8 of an inch the furthest i can cut them down or will it have a neg. outcome if i go further down the fin??? just wondering so i dont try to play hero and cut off too much making the motor useless until i get a new flywheel

I use brass barbs,,rubber hose and Co2 canisters.............awesome, ill be trying that out tonight, i figure thats quiet work that i can do inside when it gets dark. thanks for the tip . im hoping to get my pocketbike running and actually rideable then im gonna try to mod the motor i picked up today for a few bucks. also do you know where i can find the thread that shows how to make the boost bottle thingy? not sure what it was called, but i know it was made from pvc pipe with caps.
awesome man, once again, moron proof! cool i was hoping to get the pics on how you did that, i found the link i was looking for with the boost bottle directions and the one you described in the link just seems easier and no where near as hard to mount. does any basic hardware/lumber store carry the brass barbs or would an auto parts store be more likely to carry them?

You can get the barb from any hardware store practically...I use the fittings that dont work with my airtool hose ends and is a great way to recycle unuseable items.................
awesome idea man, i happen to have several of those lying around. i really like the idea of recycling anything i can, so thanks again and again and again.
