    Take it you are running premix on that engine then? Also the specs say that the MKII kit requires 98 octane fuel, will you be using that?

    Yes. I've always used premix. Even on a 50cc. Never trusted pumps. They're wank. I'll be running 98 octain yes. I always use the best oils too before you ask that ;)

    Well I had it running today, Will post a video shortly. But as it always happens to me, Tried running it up the street and coolant pissed out and ripped the threads off the cylinder!! So I've gone and bought a new zip and going to build off that.

    My threads were looking a bit ragged in my case, so I got them helicoiled and used new studs. Kinda glad really, after reading this. £25 well spent! If you get your current case helicoiled, it will be stronger than standard (Helicoil is stainless steel).

    Hope you get it sorted mate.

    I used helicoils. They ripped out from the pressure.

    Jb weld in a new Helicoil, then jb the studs into the case. Would mean engine out for pretty much all work, but would be strong as fuck

    Fair enough. Just don't try and heat treat the threads to make them harder. Cast materials like to shit themselves when heated up/cooled down very quickly.
