Why not just use the cr80 engine and junk the chineseium crap 🙄 it takes a little work to get the swing arm clearance for the chain but makes for a whole lot more then any one of these engines could pray to make i have built a couple in past you definitely don't want kids on it.

[@darcyhemeon4309]

This style cylinder requires a reed its a 70cc vertical minarelli and comes with a window pistion the vertical Reeds are good , I've designed these with a G2 reed for 1 lots of people already have this reed and intake and carb , no need too purchase extras. 2 its flow is directly into cylinder with no extra added volume, and has in my opinion more bottom end then the vertical reed ment for these cylinders . More bottom end equal faster acceleration times , also being a single speed setup makes it a all around fun riding engine . Thank you for Subscribing, like and share

To balance the crankshaft you need to drill three holes, one that is the middle I know it should be half an inch and with a depth of 15mm but the question is what diameter should be on the edge and how deep should it be?

Ok so if I wanted a 50cc minarelli for a daily driver is it worth it?

[@dlhperformance7169]

yes a minarelli cylinder will last a long time they are built to last , like any other engine you must use good oil , cool down engine as needed and not keep the engines rpm at 12k for long periods of time , a proper tune . most important on any 2 stroke no are leaks, every season the engine should be fully inspected too insure long life

[@motorizedbicyclenation53cu90]

So a 50cc minarelli unported is it more power than a yd100? Or close? I want a long lasting motor but I don’t want to lose much bottom end torque from the bt100 and I’m not quite at porting a motor yet curious I know the 70cc has plenty torque as is how bout the 50? Ever try one?

Metric to standard -- take your metric number and divide by 25.4 = standard. So 6mm stud ÷ 25.4 = 0.236" then just find your closest drill bit by googling/drill chart. Just quick reference. Also to go from standard to metric you just multiply standard number by 25.4 = metric number.
