[QUOTE="YellowBeetleSB, post: 57757, member: 322"] Okay, so even with the 16tooth switch my top speed is 43mph. When I shift into 2nd it boggs down and after a few seconds of puttering and lull picks up. What do you think is causing the bogging? I'm not sure why my top speed isn't hitting the 50mph mark. Remember my set-up: 1970 CT70 KO, 3spd auto TB 88cc big bore & race head/ race cam 20mm carb & airfilter Thumper Exhaust 16tooth front/ 35 rear (or whatever stock is) Knobbies, but soon to be Pirelli SL26 Me; 5'4", 115lbs (I'm a female, not a tiny male) What should the valve clearance be? And the Point & spark plug gaps? Perhaps this is causing the bogging & lack of top speed? Do you think a stroker crank would improve engine power? Which Stroker will fit TB88cc kit without modification? (Just pop right in..) I looked on TB site and I don't see any stroker cranks, but DrATV has several [url=http://www.dratv.com/encoon.html]COMPONENT ENGINE PARTS_ONLY[/url] [/QUOTE]
