Larger pulley on the crank means you are spinning the gearbox faster so increasing windage losses. A smaller rear sprocket (or larger front) is likely to yield better results.

Rear wheel rpm is required to achieve top speed and with only 50cc's tooth count on front and rear sprockets is a critical part of tuning. Probably going to need a box or two of sprockets for your testing. This was Captain Odvios's suggestion 😁..

It shouldn't be significant as the gearbox itself already has a primary reduction. 1:1 with the crank should be the same as the base bike the original engine came from. A small amount of ATF in the gearbox over the usual oil might help with that.

This is my absolute favorite series on any platform. It's a treat to see your post weekly!

the first 5 minutes or so with the saxiphone song playing was wonderful! greatly appreciate the ambiance you created there. Thank you for the videos and all the creativity you share with us.

You know it's a good episode when the jazz is playing!

Ive stumbled across this channel a couple different times, im now subscribed so i never lose it. Your content is awesome and your out loud thought process is super relatable to what goes through my head when something doesnt work right 😂

This was a very nice video! I enjoyed the music and matching screen action!! I got the feeling you had also a lot fun creating this video. Go on mate! You are awesome

I watched a couple of your older videos Last night, from 4 years ago.. the whole journey that I have been watching since you are casting cylinders yourself in your garage, makes so much more sense now. And it is truly awesome that you got to end this video with yet another win. Can't wait to see the next video

amazing video as always i have been following your series of this engine a long time and its great to see horsepowers and i learn new things everytime i watch these videos

Im glad to see that its fully back to experimental, the difference is that its making stuff work before adding more madness.. This truly is the greatest channel on youtube.

Good for you man, I like the fact you never give up!!!

Well done. Your perseverance is inspirational!

Nice to see progress, keep up the great work!

Volviste amigo, ya extrañaba tus videos 💪

Alex, The machining of the head to accommodate different port geometry is brilliant! The ability to Dyno a series of runs, document the test, then remove the current designed port and install another slightly different is just dam smart thinking outside the box. It is always about, just one more thing, that you surprise us with! You need to get a printer or interfaced program that can document gains or losses for comparison. You have created a Engine from scratch and taken us along the journey, this is why your videos are so good, thanks. I understand, a couple of ice cubes and 3 fingers of Jack Daniels, can make a great idea....Futuristic...in reality!

Let us see your inventions in real action on the road please😊

Very good information, Amazing research too. Thank you for the video.

Watching you apply apoxy to your 2 stroke engine reminds me of in 1968 when I was 16. I had a Harley Hummer 175cc 2-stroke bike.head almost no power. we determinede it needed more compression. My father worked on space capsules at McDonnell DouglasAerospace company. He sealed the craft. He brought some heat shield material which is called Avacote. It resists temperature to 5000° F. We filled a portion of the head. It made good power. It only lasted a short while being heat shield it did its job a slowly melted. 🐌

Well i had my mid 70s rd 50 doing 16000 rpm and just off 100 kph with only 4 mods compression increase , 100cc reeds and carb from a similar Yamaha , cut the piston ports open. Most important i raised and notched the exhaust port. Gas flow is very important must get burnt gas out of cylinder.

looks you got it man congrats 👍, cant wait for the next one hoop you can get more power out of it

Great video as always. Might wanna check your rear wheelgear because i saw some sparks flying of of it.

love this channel, this is all I did when i was from 13 to 18, started on my aprilia replic 50 and than graduated on the cagiva mito 125cc. I managed to get in to the high 30's hp, with malossi and polini parts I got to 40 hp at 15000 rpm it was. this was back in the early 90's before every nut started going crazy about polution......

Great work. I'm pleased you are getting there. The Denford Triac does a great job. 😊

SUFFERING IS OVER! To hell with the choked exhaust duct theory. Or it at least needs some further research. The belt drive probably adds at least 5% losses so it probably has already about 15 crank hp. I am eager to see if you can push it past 20 with some tuning. If it now has torque peak at 14K, the potential could be huge.

You are an inspiration to diy and me ! From Australia

keep up the good work fella

Finally we got the results 💯, now it's on to the testing and tuning

From Arkansas, i dig it! I repair old outboards!

Sounds badass again!

I'm happy to see some forward ground for you. I agree, work on as is with tuning and getting some benchmarks befor adding anymore variables and glory in you success for a time.

No way you just said you're gunna give it a hand job!!😅 I love this guy

Yaay! a win for sure ..keep at it 🙂

EXCELLENT video!

You should be able use a beam-type torque wrench to measure the running torque of the gearbox/pulley setup to get some idea of the torque it's eating. Turn from the crank with belt and spark plug removed to get a baseline (basically just resistance of piston in cylinder and rotary valve), then see how much it changes with belt installed and pulley tensioned. Even 1Nm difference would be more than 2hp loss at 17k! And I don't know if you're there yet, but maybe it's almost time to start thinking about the engine dyno again now that the engine is running pretty good. I think this fits with the "lowest hanging fruit" approach that you've been taking (which is a very good approach for your situation btw!). I think you're quickly getting to the point where the belt->gearbox->chain reduction complexity is becoming the lowest fruit...

I agree, the losses would be very interesting at this point. It might be producing much more power than measured and so the approach to gain more might be different. Also, the engine dyno would be much better. The swedish "Tvåtaktsmeken" made a really neat dyno with hydraulic pump instead of an electric brake. Seems to be consistent, easy to use and precise. That truck brake doesn't seem to be a very good solution apart from it being easily controlled with the computer. kzread.info/dash/bejne/oKJsxpmjeNGtgJc.html

@@viktorandersson7819 yeah water brakes are cool, I used to use one for a 600cc engine when I did Formula SAE (Formula Student). I think most or all his issues with the engine dyno were input signal issues (vibration in load cell and interference on rpm signal) which should be easy to solve, then just PID tuning for the control loop. At the time, though, I think there was often confusion between dyno issues and experimental engine issues.

i miss working on projects with this kind of passion. now im old a feeble so i live thru you :)

ITS ALL IN THE MACHINING COOOOLANT !!! ITS LOOKING SMOOOTH !!!

When I'm in forums looking for advice on my bike, I never know if I'm talking to a guy like this or someone who just learned the difference in 2 & 4 stroke and is really good at BS.

Just want to say thank you so much for this content, started watching you because I grew up riding old 2 stroke 80cc motorcycles and you’ve taught me more over the past couple years than I’d ever imagine knowing about how these things work lol

Finally some amazing progress. I’ve been so stumped the last few months. Could changing the rear sprocket help with the dyno runs and their length?

Yeah ! Great Job 👍 !😊

Best channel on YT ❤

I always enjoy your music too 😊🎶🎹🎷

Man you never cease to amaze me with your projects. I'm living in a tent right now and I 100% need a generator. Now I have a deep freeze outside that doesn't really need to run and doesn't run I'm not sure if the compressor is any good or not but I would love to make a 4-stroke motor out of it and then make a generator. I like this idea I just don't have the tools I'm outside. But I'm sure I can fashion something even if I have to use one of those two stroke bicycle motors to build a generator. Also I need to build an exhaust/ ventilation fan that's running on batteries. So for example a fan out of a old computer tower. Then when I'm running my propane heater in here I don't go to sleep then not wake up.

Sorry to hear of your current living arrangements.. let's just say been there done that and worse.as far as a generator the cheapest most effective arrangement is a lawn mower engine horizontal or vertical shaft doesn't matter.Use the engine with a belt and pulley turning a GM "one wire alternator".these alternators are internally regulated hence the one wire.you can find one in a junkyard for $20-$25bucks the one wire is your positive the case is your negative.use the output 13.5-14 volts dc to power an inverter found for well under $50 from harbor freight or Walmart.If you hunt around you can find a lawnmower engine super cheap or perhaps free.You can build this for well under $100 and you will have 120 volts ac,to power whatever you want.also the output of the alternator will run an electric radiator fan also sourced from a junkyard.good luck

Excellent, nothing like a smile that says (finally we're heading the right direction) 🥳

That had to feel good. It shows through in your enthusiasm.

Great video. I've never seen a 50cc sport bike before, or really any 2 stroke sport bike. Very cool

Thanks. Cheers

Nice song, Nice engine!

That's better, sounds so much better dude

that runs avery nicely

Just to add more complications to your life: have you ever considered a flow bench and smoke chamber to see what the ports are actually doing?

You need a slide-trombone style exhaust so you can lengthen and shorten it based on the time of the exhaust port opening and closing. Should be something you can make out of dimensional tubing on your tooling there and adjust it based on the RPM through the crank sensor and a small spring return solenoid or even a linear motor and some kind of tiny computer like an Arduino or Raspberry. Set yourself a 'star-and-idle' point and then have it draw in shorter as the RPMs climb toward max RPM and if it is not adding any load or friction to the engine's output, it SHOULD allow you to super-precision tune your scavenging to reach the very max it can be.
