Ouch. I have one. Sichuan Sifa MB168F. I bought a 3/4 to one inch shaft adapter and honed the inside to .787 = 20 MM. With a 1 inch keyed shaft, I bought a 7 inch thin Vee belt pulley for an alternator. Your shims only change the throttle position. A governor is your friend because it makes your speed stable. Cold starts? Hot water on the cylinder. Mount it? On thick plate aluminum and not any kind of thin wall steel. I use 15W 40 oil and pump diesel. 196 CC's means it's a very small diesel good for 1 to 1 n 1/2 horsepower. I avoid the lowest idle and unnecessary high revs. Oil consumption is much higher than other motors so check quite often. If you don't respect it, it won't give you 2000 plus hours. It takes about 100 to break in.

Thanks for your insight. The little motor is shoved in the deepest corner of my shop. Cool little guy. But it was just a basic introduction to diesels for me. I had it on a gokart for a bit

Hey, remember me? I'm the guy whose life you saved by telling me about fenders on motorized bikes. Thanks again! I'm sure someone has already said it but, Stock carb has #70 jet. I ordered that same jet kit. Still waiting for it. I'm at 4500 feet and mine is running a little rich with the needle second notch down from top. Spark plug looks pretty good though. light brown. So I'm thinking #60 or #62. I'll test it with new plug to get a more accurate reading. Don't want the lean meanies eating my piston.

Its amazing how it always seems like its going to be easy to build but theres always unseen variables... Heres a tip that i recently learned that noticeably improved the timing of the motor and performance... Side gap the spark plug. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Love to see the paint trick, that's how i always do it no need to count, unfortunately in my experience even if it looks spot on when i put it on the alignment rack it ends up far enough off to cause uneven tire wear, so your definitely not gonna have handling problems but you could definitely still have uneven wear. But honestly ive done the same shit on my car and just eyeballed it who has time to align there owm car lol

Thats a really sweet little bike! I can relate to all the finger fkery you have to go through to get these little motors to run mint. They have been playing with me sense I was a little kid and I am 65 now and they still won't go away! I always use a fender but I make mine out of 16 gauge metal and weld them to the frame works Mint! After break in run 100 octane fuel with Blendsall (green label) 2 stroke racing oil. Smells like Heaven! The aroma is amazing! It will make the whole neighborhood smell like a 4 of July barbecue down by the river! The best part about these motors is the Zero Carbon FootPrint! Its keeps a smile on Greta's face! I cant wait to see how this bike runs after You get it jetted in! Keep up the great vidjas and never worry aboot the load Music or Carbon FootPrint!💯👍

I just bought this same bike (gray) yesterday and have a Firestorm Zeda 80 coming Friday. This will be my first build. I actually got this bike because of the fenders. LOL. Going to be building mine in 100 degree weather (Arizona). Your video gave me some good info. Like mounting the gas tank and engine on this frame. I never though about the double bar being a problem for the rear gas tank mount. Thanks! Oh, and the double cable brake lever too.

With the silencer it will give back a little more power Rpm.. example a pick up when there is no longer enough restriction (muffler too short or too big for nothing) the pick up will make noise rpm goes up Faster BUT when you go up a hill you'll have a hard time making it go up in speed but the rpm will be high BUT won't be any worse either
