That setup with the plate porting etc is very similar to how I did mine back in the early 90's. It worked out quite well, made the transition into the powerband much smoother. The 93's used to be quite chuggy before getting into the powerband if left as they came.

This was nice to see. Years ago a local guy bought a AR50 and then a BDK buildt engine with full exhaust that worked pretty well. This saved me because I had messed around with my own AR50 myself with some success up to the point where it had to much exhaust duration and the moped just did not work well anymore. Then I tested the BDK ignition module and got the suprprize of a lifetime. Had to remark the rev counter to 14 000 rpm. It came on really hard at about 9800 rpm and revved to about 14 000 rpm. The most annoying was the gearing. With 5 speed gearbox and tall enough gearing for top speed, it needed revs and a lot of clutch when city driving. Used it a lot, but after years of driving and two rebores, tha cylinder skirt broke at the rear. My mods: 0. Welded floor in exhaust port. 1. Mikuni 28 mm VM carb on a home made intake. Heavy blow back prevented use of air filer. 2. Boyesen reeds. 3. Home ported Autisa cylinder with big boost port. 4. Larger ports in the piston, shortened skirt on intake side, rounded edge below wrist pin. 5. Ported crank case suffed / filled with epoxy in area under the intake port, between the transferes slots. (Stock cylinder with ported piston works well with this.) 6. Proma exhaust for a Honda MB-5. 7. Upgraded clutch and genunie Ford Type F fluid did just slip a little bit at full throttle at peak torque about 10 000 rpm. 8. NGK Iridium spark plug.

This was years ago so nothing was ever documentet or dynotested. I just tested different things and drove to and from work on highway and in the city. Gearing had to be a compromise as starting from a redlight needed some getting used to to avoid stalling and it did hold 12100 rpm. in 5. gear over the more than 1/2 mile straight on the way home. It did not do 100 mph. but it did go over 90 mph and stock old boring cars like a Volvo 240 could not outrun it here on our rather twisty roads. A friend just filled the horrible exhaust floor with a MIG welder. The Autisa AR intake port really works, but I have made the boost port opening way bigger. I have read 2-stroke tuning books and it is called power boost port or someting. I have converted stock AR and MB/MT cylinders to this and always had good results. Did it on my step sons Honda MT-5 Polini cylinder and he later told me that his moped had a "legendary reputation" among the locals. :) No one was even close to him then they "drag raced" and it had a distinctive sound with way more grunt than other mopeds. My point being it works. The point is when the piston ports closes the passage to the crankcase the piston ring opens the power boost port directing the fast moving intake charge directly into the cylinder. Naturally, I first did the reverse and converted the Autisa cylinder to the" normal" stock style / Honda MT style intake as only 8 hp from 93 ccm is less than impressive compared to other cylinders. The result of this test was disapointing. I then closed the intake floor, "stuffed" the crankcase with epoxy / JB weld to increase crank compression ratio. I could then lower the intake floor to it went through and then JB weld it closed again. I also made the openings in the piston skirts below the wrist pin wider and taller. When the piston is in TDC the stock skirt partly hangs into the intake ports if I remember correctly, not good and I modified that as well.

Hi Bill, as I recall from aviation the boundary layer does get sluggish and eventually separates hence vortex generators to re-energise the boundary layer. A bit like a wing the flow slows at the wall and then speeds up the further out you get from the surface. I guess something to do with the dimpling internet thing...?

Question, well 2. 1. Are you running oil injection? If not they why run the pump. 2, are your ports in the pison matched to the 2 big intake ports in the sleeve? I seen that the ports are rectangle and the pistons are more oval? On my rd 350's I seen good gains from matching these ports.

I have two of these AR's sitting in my garage, thinking about restoring them possibly. Anyway I come from kart racing the Yamaha KT100 and i would like to know what your EGT's are you getting with every mod you do on the dyno, as we tune for max EGT without detonation. There is massive gains from lets say 800 degrees to 1100 degrees EGT. So to make a comparison on the mods you have to tune each one for max peak power. And fuel type plays a big roll also.

Very interesting vid! If your head is not optimized for squish band width and clearance and the CR is low then there should be some nice gains to be made by modifying the head. Pretty sure that you will not find the 7 or 8 BHP that I think you are going to need with head mods alone. I've read that pushing the CR up can in fact reduce the rev range of the engine and its ability to 'over rev' but I'm not 100% convinced that this is really true. Your power curve looks great for a road bike, it looks like it starts at around 7k and runs up to around 10k RPM. I think you are going to have to try and change the shape of the curve away from the nice 'dome' that you have now into something that's more radical. The bike might be harder to ride with a 'church spire' power curve but hey, ho, that is what is going to be required. It might need more radical porting and/or an exhaust tuned for a higher RPM. You could experiment with spacers under the barrel just to see if you can push the peak RPM up to 11k, if it looks promising then you can skim the top of the barrel. I'm sure you have thought of this stuff anyway! (Obviously raising the barrel can have a negative effect on the inlet timing but is a quick and dirty way to get some ideas on what changing the transfers and exhaust timing will do) If it was my project I'd burette the engine as it stands now so I have a baseline to work from, don't trust any figures that are quoted for your setup, they can be off. (KTM are the worst in this respect, their figures are blatant lies!) EDIT...I presume that you are going to get an anorexic dwarf to ride the bike? LOL

Nice one, have you considered flowing the crankcases? Not sure how much difference it makes but consider that when the engine is idling say 1200rpm the air fuel mix has to pass through the entire engine from bell mouth to exhaust outlet in 0.05 of a second (60 seconds divided by 1200) at 9000 its 0.0066 sec, 12000 is 0.005 sec. Theres a vid posted by 49cc scoot if youre interested. I havent done it myself, the only things I did there was matching the transfer ducts to the cases and remove a small amount of cylinder wall at the bottom to open the transfer duct entry. I wouldnt knife edge the transfer divider though, if the knife edge isnt EXACTLY in the center it would probably bias the flow to one port or the other,, if one side of the cyl is biased forward and the other side is biased to the rear the fresh charge will be all over the place

power only come from pipe , rest are nothing , so read this carefully ; pipe must be maximized , meaning diameter , length must be left alone at 36 inch , never shorter , i repeat again pipe must be 36 inch long with no midsection , only 3 parts 12 inch each , ,that is regardless of engine size , now increase pipe diameter to 5 inch then to 6 inch, that's regardless of engine size .. on 50 or 125cc .., numbers are not typo , if 6 inch not work you increase case volume by adding 100cc volume by giant spacer on reed manifold that allows you to increase pipe diameter by 1 inch up at the time , then have a huge pipe that pulls like a train from 6000 to 16000 rpm , no squish , no electronic , no big ports , you NEVER widen port over %65 but raise it to the roof , you never remove bottom ring , you remove top ring so you can carve slots to increase timing all the way down to top ring slot..and over 25 degree you need water-cooling .. you LOWER compression a tad to free up the revs use low octane fuel , NEVER run open carb , it sucks hot air behind cylinder , lose power , so use original airbox.
