I have only placed a couple of orders with Enviromoto, but I have had good experiences. My orders were recieved in 3-4 days. Prices on most things are reasonable, although I must say the current price of $12 for main jets seems pretty spendy when I can usally pick them up for $3. Oh well. Even at that price it can end up cheaper to throw a jet in with your order rather than place an order to get jets cheaper and pay shipping costs again. I would suggest looking elsewhere if you plan to stock up on jets though. Some items are cheaper there than many retailers. The owner/operator (Jeremy) seems to do whatever he can to keep his customers happy. Customer service is the strong point of Enviromoto IMO. www.139qmb.com |

I like Jeremy. I havent placed any orders yet but he is always quick to respond with a quote for parts and easy to work with. I had the chance to go to this years Gasoleine Rally but i couldnt make it  . Jeremy and allot of other Antisocial members were there. It looks like a good time with slow races, 1/8th mile drags, a cruise around town, and a lap around the Indy 500 track. Next year i will be there  . No complaints with Enviromoto. Good guy! |

Thanks for the kind words. As far as the jets go your right they are spendy but after I pay about $5 a pop after shipping, pay paypal fees, and then spend another $3 on free shipping I might make $3 bucks or so each. I wish I could find a cheaper source on the darn little things but I order from Sudco and they are the best I have found so far.

I didn't mean any offense to you. I don't wanna cost you customers either, but I don't feel right telling people that $12 per main jet is a good price. I figured it is probably a cost issue. I was thinking it would be hard to give a good price on them with your layout too. Can't charge $5w/free shipping and make anything. Like I said, it's still a good deal if you just wanna throw a jet in with an existing order. For someone like me that would buy everything from 70 to 100 for instance, it would not be too smart.
If you order them in bulk form Jets R Us you should be able to pay less than $5 each with shipping. Using my zip for S&H, with 10 small Keihin main jets it would cost $3.64 each shipped. I'm guessing you could deal with more than 10 at a time though. Even if you move up to 25 jets it goes down to $3.19 each shipped, and as I said in their thread, they arrive to me in only 2 days. Stick the $3.19 cent jet in an envelope that wont tear and ship it first class mail. Now you've got roughly $5 into your costs. Add in $3 for profit and you've got $8 jets instead of $12 jets. I'm not trying to tell you how to run your business, just a friendly suggestion. I think you'd get that $3 profit more often if your jets were $4 cheaper. Not to mention, anytime your jets are thrown in with another order you get to keep the extra $2 (roughly) from the envelope and shipping charges.

I suggest you sell quality cranks, bearing, and big bore cylinders, and heads to make a 50cc into a 100cc.  |

I import my own kits so the quality is very good there, performance cranks dont really exist at this point but im searching, and the bearings will be on my new 139QMB.com store when I get it finished this winter. There you will find everything QMB and I mean everything.

You gonna be selling ceramic bearings or just better quality, like SKF or something?
I didn't really think they made stroker cranks for these, but I thought if anyone knew it would be you.

Im thinking of sourcing the best ceramic bearings I can find but kliff has some ideas and were working together to find some really trick parts for these little 4 slows.

Good stuff. Hopefully you'll sell more that way. Not to mention getting them at a lower cost is gonna add a couple bucks more porfit to every kit you sell that includes jets. ;D

Yep I havent got the lower price jets yet but I figure if your gonna buy a jet at my store you might buy something else or enjoy your experience so much that you'll keep coming back for more parts. Jets, battery tenders, and Athena rollers are my loss leaders for sure.

I have placed a few orders from Jeremy and have always been happy with my order. I would definitely recommend Enviromoto.
