3:25 RIP Head phone users! Thanks for the video, it looks like they built the motor with a hammer... But this is the fist kit I have seen not use butter bolts for the rag joint :) Fun fact, the throttle piston on that carb is also slightly wider than the basic nt carb (more air). At least the one on my YD100 is, I'm guessing they are the same.
Thanks for the input and thanks for watching! Yeah...sorry about the volume there. I forgot I added that when I jacked up the overall volume. Making videos is not my primary function--LOL! Happy riding 👍
The split in the exhaust on some g4 cylinder is not for back pressure it's a bridge to help support the rings so they don't snag because the port is wider...
I agree. When this kit came out a year ago, it was sold as the G4 through some sellers. I believe the first batch just had a bad oil seal install which destroyed the engine and magneto. It has been fixed since then, and I prefer this engine now. Don't even feel like I have to retard the timing. Thanks for watching.
One thing I can add when opening up a new engine- check that bevel gear, or main drive gear- the small o e that meshes with the clutch assembly, evry one I've ever gotten had to be pulled out and put back I straight because it was so out of true- very crooked and that makes for some seriously nasty vibrations. Also, cylinder should always be cleaned up and ports at least chamfered, theres always casting shit hangin around in there that will reduce w the life of your first top end by at least half! Definitely worth the time it takes.
With my bike when I was riding it one day I noticed that it would start and run for a bit then stop, I had earlier messed with the spark plug and forgot to take the tool off and put the spark cap back on. It was running off of compression alone and without thinking I grabbed the tool and burned my hand.
Are there any kits that are stock bore that are balanced? I wanna start racing but the beginner class rules say. Wall of text incoming.. I’d like something off the shelf mostly cause the engine builder guys all need a 6-8+ week wait time. CHINA girl RACE CLASS RULES: Only use original cases. (May be modified.) Only use original cylinder. (May be modified.) Shifter kits allowed. EXPERT: 1: Case Reed allowed. 2: Stroker Crank allowed. >40mm 3: Oversized Piston allowed. >47mm Any cylinder reed allowed. The #2 & #3 mods must be disclosed before race. Bore x Stroke. 82 cc Maximum displacement. NOVICE: NONE of the 3 EXPERT MODS Allowed. Any Reed on cylinder allowed. BEGINNER: NONE of the 3 EXPERT MODS Allowed. Big Block Reed Valves NOT Allowed. Arrow Big Block, Arrow Twister, Dio. Small Reed Valves allowed. GT 80, Oz, RSE allowed.
Thanks! Right now, I would say don't get this engine if you don't plan on addressing the problems before they occur. The Zeda80 or YD100 is a solid engine for a beginner. I'll have some yd100s avail le for pre-sale now of interested: www.southerncustomcc.com/engines
@@SouthernCustomCC yeah the zeda 80 is looking like it'll be my pick. Not as big as the YD100, but cheaper and abundant parts is a bigger deal to me than some extra power. i'm a hefty dude, so i may need to get a bigger sprocket... but that's for when i have the build well under way :D I dont think you ship to canada yet, eh?
I've been trying to go on your website. I thought I would like to buy my next bike motor from you. The site seems to be gone or closed did you change it?
Yer kinda mischievous slipping in those random LOUDASS guitar riffs! I was nodding off cuz I stayed up way too late work8n on my bike and watching vids and I was Ripped back to consciousness with immediacy!!
Thanks bud ! I like certain features but of coarse good seems to come with some bad it would seem! To me I would install a spring and possibly a new magneto, then maybe then it will be a decent engine!
Don't get me wrong, like I said in the video and in the description, it is a good engine with some good upgrades. There is some good torque and top speed. If you want to put another $15 into it, sure! It is worth it, bit for most novice and new builders, I do not recommend this engine. If you are in the market, I can let you know where to get them, but once again... Buyer beware
LOL! Good analogy. They are actually really strong and powerful engines...this primary batch is just a no go for me. Hopefully next round they will address the issues explained. I hope I just save some novice builders some money. Thanks for the contribution! Happy riding.
@@SouthernCustomCC If I buy something knowing I have to mod it before I can use it I am cool with that. But I have a real problem fixing a motor that should be right out of the crate. Ride safe everyone!
@@SouthernCustomCC if you are using a video editor look for something called "audio normalize" It will take the audio and make it all the same volume. I use Shotcut for videos, super easy to learn.
Hello, I recently purchased an high performance air filter and a CNC velocity stack for my NT speed carburetor. The bike runs and idles but every time I give it gas and try to get to the mid-high RPMs sometimes it just wants to bog right back down and come to a stop and then suddenly it revs up really high then keeps bogging till it stops. I don’t get it could you please help?
Southern Custom CC I also had another request do you think you can make a video on how to switch the piston on the 100cc motor I don’t really know how to do it it’s be great if you could. It’s because I’m ordering one one soon and need to know how to flip it around.
