When you're Tig welding on a frame or off the bench, it's totally okay to rest the cup on the workpiece. This gives you a consistent arc length that can be easily changed by rocking the torch in or out in a a very stable motion. If done with a large gas lense, often the electrode angle is close to ideal. Hope that helps.

[@tonyalto1014]

Good point. Walking the cup, it's not cheating, it just plan works.

[@life_of_riley88]

@@tonyalto1014 Yeah and not necessarily even classically "walking the cup" but, when I'm welding on something that isn't really critical to not mar the finish, I'll just "drag the cup" and it helps to keep my arc length consistent when I don't have a solid rest for my arms.

I was very heavy into building super high output Honda Dio engines, the AF16's to be exact. 20 years ago the best I could do was a 119cc which made a claimed 20hp out of a 50cc moped engine. We used mostly Phongeer and S.E.F. stuff for the strokers and Polini Corsa and Malossi for the 72cc builds. 2stroke was and still is pretty damn popular down here in Hawaii. The kids nowadays here are building 120cc strokers that hit 90mph all day long. I'm sure a quick search of Hawaii moped stuff will net some cool vids. Anyway, sorry for such a long comment.

[@donniebaker5984]

With no mention of resizing the carb jets to compensate removal of the silencer in which you shortened the system.. and doing so on small engines critically affects the overall power output so basically you were eliminating performance instead of adding performance ... Causing your engine to run with less horsepower than it had stock but made a lot more noise and sounded meaner didn't it but it actually going slower

Proper good job mate 👍 would love to have a go on this beast 💨

Really fun to see. Thanks for sharing. You should consider fixing the spokes on the wheel. You ruin the hub and rim by neglecting. Maybe another video when you fix it :-)

Personal recommendations. Foam air filter sock asap to stop rocks etc Folding footpeg or just try moving the kickstart on the splines and start it at a weird angle. Would a leather saddle for a bicycle like a Brooks fit for comfort. Dutch courage!!!!! Sounds pokey on the pipe.

👍 folding peg is in the plans, filter too.
