This one's gonna be a slow mover since I'm having a hard enough time tuning and building up my other bike but figured I'd get one going for this. I'm not even sure what this motor will end up in but I'm going to start thinking about what to build it up as and snagging parts as deals make themselves available. I bought this used bugeye engine off ebay for $130 shipped last week in my desperation for getting my other build running right and to break 70mph. In my indecisiveness, I ended up switching the direction on that build and now find myself the new owner of this too lol. The box arrived in the mail damaged, soaking wet with oil - come to find out the gear oil must have not been drained and leaked all over the thing. Should make clean up fun but this thing needs a good bath anyway. So, here she is. Unknown mileage and year, although I may be able to look it up? Here are my goals for whatever this thing ends up going into: - able to break 75mph, 80s would be great - watercooled, for power and reliability - somewhat unique, would like to try something off the beaten path I was thinking a Stage6 R/T 95cc but need to do a bit more research. The 2Fast stuff is awesome looking but my lord the prices. TPR 86cc looks interesting too.      |

If your looking at the 2fast kits have a look at the lmr 70cc kit, the LMR kits are about the most powerful kits you can buy.

I would love LMR or something from ottopuntouno but I just can’t stomach this prices. At least new kits. Not sure of anything ever comes up used or anything but certainly haven’t seen it in the states. |

“Senchen” cylinder? Sound a bit, well, knockoff-like  Curious as to what the insides will look like. By the pics you posted, it looks a bit dirty but decent, so it might be a good base to build something epic on  |

Thankfully, the transmission/gears seem to be in great shape and spin freely so I can't ask for more than that lol |

Quite interesting, is this a marketplace or classifieds website for the Netherlands? Looks like a treasure trove compared to what we have access to in the US. Any other sites or places to look that you’d recommend? |

Any other sites or places to look that you’d recommend? I think it’s comparable to craigslist, but i have no experience with craigslist. Every country here has list a similar site: Netherlands www.marktplaats.nlBelgium www.2dehands.beFrance www.leboncoin.frGermany www.kleinanzeigen.deand obviously ebay, with the extensions ending in whatevr country you want to shop. these are the ones i use most regularly, there are many more out there, like facebook marketplace. edit: if you need some stuff from Belgium (or close to it) let me know, maybe i can help |

Yeah the only stuff we really have here stateside is Craigslist, Facebook marketplace and eBay. This gives me a lot of digging and browsing to do. I may take you up on that offer to help. Many thanks! |

Found a pretty good deal on Facebook on a Stage6 R/T 95cc kit, Malossi crank and some other bits from some some dude in Lithuania last week. Paypal is being annoying and placing the funds on hold to be released "no later than April 14th" so that's been fun, but should be fine as I'm in no rush with this project. Got a burst of motivation to start taking a deeper look into the ebay engine I purchased a while back. Started stripping it down and digging in. By the looks of it, seems like a cheap 70cc kit that's in filthy shape lol. Also, whoever sealed these case halves back together at one point must have used a whole tube of sealant. So, the direction for this build is going to be something pretty fun (and powerful). Thinking: - Stage6 r/t 95cc - Malossi crank - Stage6 overrange setup (from my other build, may need new front pulley to fit the 16mm crank?) - Polini pwk30 (yet to acquire) - Stage6 exhaust (more than likely, but open to suggestions)       |

What scoot are you going to put this in? Being a short case mina limited to 10" wheels, it will be a hand full! I know a guy who has a few mina long case blocks he may part with, let me know if you want me to ask.  |

I know a guy who has a few mina long case blocks he may part with, let me know if you want me to ask. Appreciate that! I'm not even sure yet. More than likely a prebug or bugeye Zuma. I think if I really wanted to, I could swap some 13" Aerox wheels onto this. I even have an extra set here now. |

If you get 13" wheels to fit a short case mina you would need rubber bands for tires.  |
