"The 47R is an amazing engine that could easily hold it's own in the 50cc class."
"Au contrare" (sp).
The El Mirage record (1.3 miles) for 50cc is 108 MPH. Good luck on that one. No, don't tell me the extra .3 makes a big difference.
Their slowest 50cc record (P/PV) {Penis/Penetrating Virgin or some other motorcycle mystic class} is 39+ MPH. It ain't easy my friend.
Your only hope is to have someone running beside you tuning the carbonator.
whoa...this is just good-natured bench racing, right? You wouldn't actually say that to someone running their old bike, would you?
I never said it would dominate, but this very 47R, without pipe, break-in, or good fuel, pulled this bike (and my 210 lbs) all day at 35-40mph...it wasn't geared near big as it could be, and as we already know this bike is a horrible LSR foundation. It's a centrifugal clutch, but it could be fairly easily adapted to a scooter CVT, in my opinion. And I know a guy put a lever on his mixture screw, cable-activated, he said it worked pretty well inside a small range. So...anyway...from now on I'll just stick to what we got going on this year. I sure didn't intend to stir up anything.
