Haven't watched all the way through yet, but your set up is already way easier to see than some of the other fa50 videos on youtube. I got a fa50H from my mother recently and I've been wanting to go through it completely before putting it through it's paces
i just got an 82 fa50 and i have no clue what im oing so thanks for the vids. you said the intake is ridiculously small and thats what was limiting it, do you know where i could find a bigger intake thats compatible?
well, it's a combination of things that limit it but the intake is tiny but really you'd have to unrestrict quite a bit more - different exhaust, different carb, different cylinder - www.treatland.tv/SearchResults.asp?Search=fa50+intake
Dear PA Ripper, Great to hear from you. I'm working on something exactly along those lines but even crazier. Will it work? Time will tell. Stay tuned. Sincerely, Jack the Ripper.
I was going to try to put it on a Honda Express frame but I'd have to get an exhaust, CDI, etc. Right now, I'm going to put on new rings; see where the piston clears the exhaust port; maybe do a spacer if needed; boost the compression; check the stator; replace some hardware; and maybe open up the exhaust port and/or intake ports. And clean it up. and then we'll see what will happen after that.
