100cc 4T questiion

Glad to help. Hope it turns out to look as good as the pics so you can try out the big kit. It still won't compare to a 2T, but it's so much more fun than a stock 50.

Yeah I'm sure it'll be a lot better than a stock ride. I live up in the hills and the last 2-3 miles coming home is no fun at all on a stock 50cc even with 4 gram Dr. Pulley sliders.

The engine I'm gonna install the kit on has about 2500 on it now with regular oil changes. It's my old scooter. I bought it back for $350 from the guy I sold it to a year ago for $400. ;D He never rode it and it was sitting outside all dirty under his carport with old gas, a flat tire and a dead battery. I couldn't stand to see it like that so I offered to buy it back less the price of the battery he ruined and he agreed. I figure the least I can do is soup it up. I'm gonna go with the same matte black finish I did that 150 scoot I sold yesterday. He never transferred the title so it's as if I never sold it in the first place.

I noticed the BBK comes with another oil pump. Is that some kind of high-flow pump or just a new stock one? I've never actually split the case open on an engine yet and I'd rather just go with the oil pump that's in there already. I'll start a build thread because I'm sure I'm gonna have a bunch more questions.

Thanks again!

The 72cc kit I bought came with a pump acoording to the pics. When I got it, no pump. The seller said it was just a stock pump and that no one makes high volume pumps for the 50s. I searched shortly after that and never found anything. That's the best I can tell ya.

Oh, and splitting cases on this engine is cake compared to a 2T. You actually only have to remove the one cover on that side IIRC, not the crank and all. Even if you wanna do a new crank, they slide in rather than needing to be pressed, pulled, or heated and cooled in like the 2Ts.

You got an OK deal, and the guy that bought it rented it for a year for $50 so that ain't bad either. lol
