Last month I started rebuilding my wifes 150cc buggy. It was 4 years old and has been raced, rode and just had the tar ran out of it. The buggy started out as a carbon colored Hammerhead 150gt.

Now its orange and I am now building a stroker motor for it. The engine will have a 3mm stroker crank, 61mm cylinder instead of the 58mm, A-9 cam for bottom end and midrange power

Eric, NICE looking machine - keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks, the new paint and new wheels along with the bed coating for the floor really made her happy.

I have the crank and cylinder ordered, hope to have them by the end of the week

Cool pic, looks like you are doing a real good job. How much horsepower will it have when finished.

Thats looking pretty good! I'm sure they are pretty fun!

Thanks, I am hoping for 15-17hp. depending on if I port the head. I have to keep it reliable for the wife. if she aint happy I will not be happy.

it should come out to about 173cc

Eric dont you mean you cant make hers faster than YOURS...

 

[bige]

her's was faster than mine to start with, it would run 42mph at 10,230 rpm. did that so I didnt have to here about " my buggy is to slow ". got the stroker crank in, 61mm big bore on. piston to valve clearance came out great so now I am waiting on the shims for the cylinder to get here so I can get it back together

 

[bige]

got the shims in and the engine assembled and installed. I must have done something right because it fired up and idled the 3rd turn of the switch

been out riding up the street where I live, feels strong and at 30mph it was turning 7520rpm. going to take it easy for a few weeks to get it broken in. useing royal purple break in oil then going to switch to the 10w40 royal purple

Eric, Moving right along bud !! :wink:

You are the first person I've ever seen put in writing that they use Royal Purple. It's the only oil I use in the bikes I service and my own personal. Fantastic stuff. Sorry... I get geeked out about it. And no, I don't own stock.

it is some good oil, with the 61mm cylinder being a slip in I want the best protection against heat I could get, I also added a oil cooler and spin on filter
