    Just picked up my first CT70 yesterday. It's a manual one. Got a Lifan 120 engine with it. Stock engine runs good after I cleaned the jets.

      Awesome! I know you’ve been following the channel for a while. Let me know if you have any questions or need any parts 😊

      @@eastcoastish I'm thinking I'll swap in the Lifan, maybe put the 12" wheels on it, get a new seat and a few other things. After I get the mechanical side dialed in strip it down to paint it emerald green or the ruby red. I figure you get at least half the credit for me wanting to find one and mod it. I've been soaking up as much information as I can. Hoping to have it and the 70 Z50 ready for summer camping trips along with the Super Chicken Jet Ski we just picked up. Been enjoying your channel for awhile now. You have the cleanest builds I've seen on RUclips.
      I think the video I'd most like to see is a stock CT70 racing next to one with an upgraded engine. I'm always curious with performance parts to see how much of a difference they make.

    Sorry I sent it before I was finished. I was saying I knew Mike could give some help on the engine guard on how to get it on. As it turns out you figured it out on your own but it was a must to get it on as the bike did not look right without it. Frames the engine out real nice. I agree the black engine looks really nice against the red frame. On the engine I would rather have the 125 as the 72cc is fine if your 12 years old doing trail riding but if someone is going to get it street legal you really need to be able to go 50 to 55. At least I think so. Last thing. I got the 16 tooth front sprocket in and by you pointing out the diameter was 20 and not 17 it worked. I say that as I worked with two of the biggest suppliers of parts for CT70's on this and one sent me the wrong size and when I pointed it out they said that is the only size we carry but neither one of the 2 asked me what size I had to determine what I needed. I thought one size fit all. I had to find out by watching someone on you tube who does it for a hobby to point out there are different sizes to lead me to what I needed. When working with these part suppliers there cannot be a lack of communication other wise your going to be getting parts that do not fit. But I am finding out these part suppliers are not that good at telling you " you need to be very specific on what you have and what you want" The hell with it I will keep watching you and Mini Bike Mike and that way I will know exactly what I need. Keep up the good work and glad to see your subscribers jumping up.

    Did the new engine come with a gasket for the stator cover? Is it supposed to have one? I just got a new Lifan 125 and there aren't any gaskets or an O-ring for the stator cover or clutch adjustment access cover.

    • @eastcoastish
      @eastcoastish  2 года назад +1

      I don’t believe the stator cover or the clutch adjustment cover have gaskets on these engines.

    Is there a higher cc semi auto with electric start with larger than 140cc? Or a big bore bike that works reliably with the 140cc? I know the 190cc and above are manual shift only… Thanks!
