5 NECESSARY Motorized Bicycle Mods

ALL motorized bike kits come with manufacturing defects, which include castings flaws in/around ports, metal shards in the exhaust, unsatisfactory lubrication, etc. All of these issues can be easily fixed but can be CATASTROPHIC if left unchecked. This video will serve as a guide for fixing these issues.

    Hey bud, I'm brand new to the motorized bike scene, I've been wanting to put an engine on my mountain bike but could never seem to find the time. Then my best bud shows up at my house with a mountain bike with a bbr 66/80. It is the coolest thing I've seen😅. I'm a small engine mechanic so maintenance won't be an issue. In all of my 2 strokes I use Amsoil 40:1. It's crazy I'm 49yrs old and just got into this hobby, any sorry for the long comment just want to tell you your knowledge on these engines is awesome. Keep up the awesome work bud

    I modified one of these engines awhile ago and got some decent power out of it. Expansion chamber exhaust carb tuning better plug and wire as well as making a thinner head gasket from an aluminum can and setting squish distance. Ended up with 160psi of compression after milling the head down slightly as well. The thing would rip but the power was pretty hard on the bottom end.

    I bought the cheapest 80cc kit from ebay that I could find. That was 5 years ago. I've only ran used motor oil as a two cycle oil and did nothing to the engine but install and ride. I now have about 4,000 miles on it. Around the 3,000 mile mark, the wrist pin bearing gave up. I ended up replacing the wrist pin, wrist pin bearing and piston and reused the original cylinder. Those parts were about $15. I'm not recommending used motor oil, but it's saved me probably hundreds of dollars Vs. buying 2 stroke oil.

    Just wanted to share some of my findings: Another good plug is the Bosch wr8ac or Champion l86c or rl86c. From an air cooled vw beetle engine, they never get hot and last forever. Cutting the baffle out of the muffler and running 18:1 castrol 2t snowmobile oil on the first richer setting has proven beneficial in my experience. Spraying some penetrating oil down all your cables will help them be more snappy. Using 3/16 fuel injection hose with nice clamps will prevent fuel lines leaking or cracking. Putting nyogel in your magneto connectors will waterproof them and taking care to make sure your carb is level horizontally will save you from a bent float later on.

    This was a great video! From a mechanical standpoint you had everything spot on! When I first got my engine I could tell that it had never seen gas or even oil! The inside of the engine was bone dry except for just a few dabs of shity Grease on some of the main points but the cylinder, piston and rings were bone dry!!! I think that's absolutely crazy to ship an engine out like that with absolutely zero lubrication.... No wonder people get them and then they just blow up within a mile. I think a lot of people just don't understand how engines work and what they need. I also did some of the things that you showed. I immediately replaced the head with one of those nicer solid aluminum high compression ones, right off the bat you can see how much better the mild aluminum one is. The cast one is complete garbage! I also got a better magneto and that was the second thing I checked, the spindle was rubbing the magneto extremely hard on one side so when I put the new one on I centered it up. I also took and lubricated the clutch a little bit as well after installing a better carb.... That's another thing I'd recommend that I didn't hear you say was a better carburetor, the ones that come with the engine are really simple and look like they wouldn't produce much flow at a high RPM. The stock muffler is complete trash as well, I'm going to be welding up a expansion pipe for the little motor! I bet just by changing the pipe alone you probably can gain 10 mph minimum. Putting a pipe on 2 cycles really makes them haul serious ass!!

    Thank you very much for watching. I completely agree. That is why I make these videos, to help people. As for the carburetor, the stock one is usually satisfactory for most riders, but especially after you do a few mods, youll definitely want to upgrade that carb to something like a Nibbi PE19 or a VM18. As for the exhaust, you are completely right. Even a decent pipe will double your power compared to stock. lol.

Lol. I don’t know if you would have better results, but it seems that most sources agree with my results. I was using a 6v headlight and the engine would barely run. Even if the 6v headlight had been fully powered, they are not very bright at all and aren’t very useful for night riding. To actually have a useful headlight, you’d have to use a 12 or so Volt system, which Will DEFINITELY NOT run off the white wire.

    I probably have around 500 miles on my Zeda engine. When i bought it I didn’t do any of these things. Right now I can hear a rattling sound like maybe a few tiny pieces of metal are inside the engine or something. It runs fine tho. What would you recommend I do to fix this and prevent any issues down the road. I hear you can take the cylinder off, pour some gas inside the engine and swish it around to clean out any debri from inside the engine. I have a dremel too. I dont have any experience with port work and the last thing I want to do is destroy my engine. It runs fine right now and I want it to last a long time.

    Thanks for the question. Sometimes, the engine sounds like there is stuff in there, but if you didnt clean up the casting flaws before hand, there is most likely debris in there. I would remove the cylinder, check for scoring and remaining casting defects of the cylinder, and then pour gasoline into your engine to remove anything that might be down in there (I've also been told E85 or diesel works better than gasoline, but ive never tried it). If there is still casting flaws (such as little metal pieces sticking out from the ports), you can use a dremel and either a sanding bit or a carbide porting bit or a standard file to remove them. If the cylinder is scored enough to fit the tip of your fingernail into the score mark, then youll need to replace the cylinder and piston rings, but if there is visual wear, but you are only able to feel minimal bumps, or none at all, you can reuse the cylinder and piston rings and reinstall everything as normal. KEEP IN MIND: When you do ANY work the the ports, or even remove the cylinder, it is recommended to file down the edges of the ports so they arent jagged and/or sharp.

    Speed COMPLETELY depends on the gear ratio and wheel diameter, but if you upgrade your pipe to a fat belly, such as the MZ65 style pipes, your bike will run like a scalded dog, even if it ran good before. You’ll not only get TONS of bottom and mid RPM torque, but you’ll also gain a good amount of high end RPM.

    I’m guessing you’re talking about the idle being too high. On the left side of the carburetor, there is a (usually) flathead screw. To lower the idle, loosen this screw SLOWLY while the engine is running, and to raise the idle speed, tighten it a tad. When making these adjustments, make sure your engine is running and you are making the adjustments SLOWLY, as turning the idle screw too quickly can result in inaccurate results. You can decide for yourself what a good idle sounds like, but I personally set it as low as possible, so it still idles strong, but if it went much lower, it would die. If this doesn’t really work, and adjusting the idle screw doesn’t do anything to the idle, you might have an air leak. I’ve also found that having a leaking head gasket and/or exhaust gasket can also cause the engine to run rough and/or cause the idle to go weird.

    The white wire is supposed to be a power supply, however, its wired directly to the ignition system, so if you plug anything into it, would override the ignition system and the engine wouldn't even run (what happened when I attempted to plug in a little 5v light).

    @a.m.bgarage.everydayprojec9665

    8 ай бұрын

    Yes, your right, but the wire draws power STRAIGHT from the ignition coil, not a battery, which causes an insufficient amount of power going to both the light and the ignition system, resulting in both a dim light (or one that doesn't work at all) and a spark plug that wont generate a strong enough spark to make the engine run well (or at all). It would work completely fine if it was wired differently, possibly if their was some sort of battery or an amplifier going off the white wire, but because the ignition system (WITHOUT anything connected to the white wire) only generates 5 or so volts at idle, and around 11 at high RPMs. If you use a 6v battery, or even a 3v light connected to the wire, the bike wont even run. When I first built my motorized bike, I tried plugging in a 3v headlight, but the engine would not start at all.

    There are some magnetos that have the white wire for the kill switch, but it is not common. Usually the kill switch only uses the two (usually black and blue) wires and the white wire provides some sort of current from the ignition system. This wire is a hindrance more than anything due to not having the capacity to supply enough power to power anything while also keeping the engine running and can cause short circuits, etc, hence why I recommend removing it.

    For improved performance, I would upgrade to an mz65 clone and use a slip on 22mm silencer (a.co/d/gO4RqRR) and you’ll not only gain a TON of power, but it will be almost as quite as stock. Though, if you are looking for the QUIETEST exhaust, I would stick to the stock exhaust these bikes come with, since there aren’t any other that are any quieter without SIGNIFICANTLY decreasing performance.

    I have all the needed info and links to further videos and info in the description. When it comes to ring snag, it isn't an issue with every engine, but a lot of the lower quality engines have a lot of defects, casting flaws, and burs around the ports. If left unchecked, these defects can catch on one of the piston rings (ring snag) and/or damage the piston. As far as prepping the rings, its not something that needs to be done, but I have found it to be a good habit since it speeds up the break-in process and is less likely to scoring the cylinder.

    I've always had issues with the stock exhaust. If I dont modify it and keep it stock, it DESTROYS exhaust gaskets, but if I remove the cap, my head gaskets blow. You have to find a median, which usually results in cutting out the insides and/or cutting holes in the cap, but to get a good running exhaust that way, it usually requires trial and error. There is a FINE line that you need to stick to in order to modify it correctly, and you go through all that trouble to get a barely noticeable difference in performance. You are better off upgrading the exhaust for $30 and get a true 2-stroke pipe with an expansion chamber, which will give you not only great reliability but a HUGE power increase.
