    I bought a used 50cc Suzuki engine and fitted it fine. its had a new piston and has the original exhaust, i bled the oil pump and its getting the fuel fine. but it just sounds a bit raspy when i accelerate? what could this be? :thumbsup:

    get the spark plug out, and re-post it's colour and appearance, and state how old the plug is.

    if you have just fitted the piston, it's maybe a touch of paranoia that we all have, on the first few miles on a rebuilt engine. :)


    the main thing is, give it a chance to bed in, before any speed trials.
