Report back to how those dual stage reeds worked out. I've used them in the past on my Honda MB5 and it definitely changed the throttle response on my low-mid range but that was on my shifty50

Wow. That must be a load off of the crank. Can't wait until they are back in stock again by treats. I am assuming you don't need a battery to run this kit...similar to the MZB/POWERDYNAMO.

How much lighter is the HPI compared to the stock magneto?

Just tried Simple Green. Did not work well. Turned the carbs dull gray and left an oxidized patina similar to gray Parkerizing.

I had to use a brass brush to recover any metallic luster. It did get them clean though. Spotless.

I didn't have any BBQ lighter. Been using moonshine to light my charcoal. Maybe I should have tried some 180 proof on the carbs. But every time I get it out I end up drinking some and progress slows to a crawl.  :guinness:

Yeah, read a lot about Simple Green doing that. I'm going to try the HD stuff and report back on my results

Pretty cool.

Could you just just wire a cheap ignition switch from flea bay?

I bet benji would appreciate it.

Yeah, they are definately in the business to help people with their hobbies. Cheapest place that I can order jets and carbs on a given day. Plus they always have sales and free shipping at 150$. Their page is also informative with the thread size and diameter of hardware.

Great source for smaller engine parts. Mainly deals with mopeds but you can get cheap authentic carbs, jets, and filters.

They are great guys and have always treated me well.

I saw your FB post on this matter. Excited to hear about the WIP.

I've got to try that magical mark mixture. The finish is beautiful.

Like previously stated, many people use diluted Simple Green but have reported that it discolors the aluminum but Simple Green HD (purple) doesn't do this and people have had great results.
