    Hi everyone,
    I'm starting a whole new project with my nrg mc3, bored of 70's, so it's going to a 172 runner sp engine now.

    How many people have done this? Did anyone ever have issues with the lack of weight on the front end of the bike?

    Also, would you recommend using a runner battery, or would you think the nrg battery would be up to the job?

    I've already taken into account things like loom modification, will be doing that shortly, and also I've got an electric water pump as the manual pump has been removed and sealed, along with the 2-stroke pump (I've always premixed, I prefer it that way, at least I always know I have oil in it!)

    Do you recommend wiring the pump into the loom so when the ignition is on the pump is going or would it be better from a switch?
    There's a whole load of things I'm going through in my head, but for starters, if anyone can guide me in the right direction for now, that would be great.
    Cheers!

    I've got a typh loom, which at some point, I will get around to sorting out, spent far too much money in the last 24 hours...
    I was thinking of just making a simple circuit with switch, problem is, I don't want it to kill my battery... Soon find out if the stator is doing it's job properly!
