    different lifan engines?

    Hey guys the colour of the engine means jack! Suppliers can order them painted any way they like. The main difference between the rear and front mounted clutches is that the internal design of the engine is different. These are still good reliable engines, its just that they have a different...

    So leroy, ya thread got jacked a bit...hows it going with the jetting? You guys also realise the carb sold as a 30mm on ebay has the 100 main jet (I think, by memory) if you want to trial it out of a mates or something before buying one.

    A tad pessamistic... don't worry any longer about the clown from zero brains racing. He is just another home business guy trying to sell you his little velocity tubes cause hes gotta make the little mini lathe he bought last year pay for itself. I have been over his site and was not that...

    Do i need to retune Carby ? 125 to 140cc

    The biggest problems people are having IMO is they are not even remotely following a methodical and thorough tuning procedure. Also there are cutaway changes, needle tapers and carb porting which all can be neccesary sometimes to get dialled in.

    Softening supsension

    Those forks and shock are not going to ever be good to work with, but you could try replacing the fork oil with a 5 or 7 wt oil. The shock reduce the spring preload and reduce the gas pressure in the shock down to 40 psi or something. If your not comfortable pulling these items apart, then just...

    Oil coolers. Check here FIRST!!

    Any engine with oil feed holes from the crankcases must be run through a cooler. You could run lines from the head if you joined the two case outlets with a short line. But these two outlets must be joined. There is another way of doing this internally but it requires drilling out a passage...

    Which is the best engine brand?

    Hey I know where you're coming from sixeven, I have been running businesses myself for a while and had a new wave of products change my industry forever and forced me out. But you can't fight these things only go with it or get out. There will be a transition period for a while where all who are...

    Which is the best engine brand?

    I of course agree the honda engine is built with greater quality control. I was taking this as a performance comparison. All the engines listed are using Honda's design, no one can take that from them. This is the only reason for even remote success of the China engine companies. I have, and...

    Do i need to retune Carby ? 125 to 140cc

    For what ever its worth (two cents) If i was running in the motor (just ran one in two days ago) i do this. Most carbs will come reasonably jetted to at least run fairly well. Don't worry about trying to tune it while running in cause the way it runs will change as it runs in. I run a carb i...

    Wat carby to buy????

    Only you can jet it. At is near impossible to tell you what to try unless you do your own testing and report back step by step your findings then ask for recommendation which way to go.

    Tricks of the trade

    I asked cause i have seen some really nicely polished carbs and manifolds on monkey bikes and such. For the inside of the manifold, it is usual to hone the casting using 80 grit rolls until the surface and bore is uniform. Also to do the plastic adapter and match them together perfectly with the...

    Do i need to retune Carby ? 125 to 140cc

    Well basic carbs aren't really designed one way or the other, some more suitable for one or the other, buy design, but basically they all have a choke size, deliver a metered ratio of fuel throughout the throttle range and have a mounting for manifold and filter. Carbs have been getting swapped...

    Do i need to retune Carby ? 125 to 140cc

    I know I just posted this in another thread but I'll put it here as well. To get these 140 engines really going you must ditch the Pitpro and DHZ supplied exhausts or any other crap china pipe. I really can't believe the exhaust DHZ is running on his 140. I know this is probably one of the most...
