Default 183.5cc motor is alive

I got the 62mm bore 60.8 stoke motor running, and it sounds good. Not able to test it in the dirt till next weekend. Going to make the breather on the valve cover a little bigger to reduce the crank case pressure.
Also going back to the 31 tooth sproket from the 39. with more power dont need to rev it out.
Jetted the carb from a 120 main to a 125 and the plug is coming out dark brown. Rich is good .
The compression is 155 psi after only 1 hour of run time. Starts a little slow but the battery is 2 years old. Stock compression was 125psi.
When testing power full throtle in the garage it would spin the tires and launch hard.
I will post a video soon.
I am so glad that it is running after all the money and time spent.
Hope it stays together for the season. I just dont know how hard you can push a gy6 until it blows due to heat and presure.
Thanks for all the help buggymasters.
