I think you hit it on the head. These simple engines compared to what used to. In a prior life is was a A/P mechaninc. I've completly changed course. The 200cc from scrappy dog was a crap motor.
I ened up getting set as a dealer for Tiagia/KYMCO in TW. (I own a custom MC buisiness for the last 11 years) These are supposed to the the best MFG of GY6 engines. They do not sell complete engines but I can comple unassembled for a good cost. I see other venders selling these parts at 4X price increase.
I'm doing a 232CC Water Cooled monster for under $900.00

I've got two internals right now, one on my wife's baja, and one in parts in the basement. Neither has had reverse problems yet.
