Default RE: Moki Engines Thread

@ Luv Bipes

How do you find the Moki compares to the OS 1.60 in terms of power output cc for cc? OS engines are always used as a bench mark. Moki engines seem to have a very high compression ratio, thus they run extremely well on straight fuel, but it's fair to say that they are 'stiffer' to flick start by hand as a consequence.

@ Pura

I've noticed that after I prime my engine, if I don't get straight onto starting it, the fuel in the line will just slowly move back down the line towards the tank. This hardly matters if you use an electric starter, but can be quite a challenge if you like the traditional flick start.

The Moki engines really are a no compromise performance engine. But listen to the low idle on them - it's amazing. Once warm, you can virtually get them to 'pop..pop..pop' speed before they allow you to cut them.

I haven't had to change the needle settings at all since getting it to the sweet spot. The low speed dial is very sensitive to changes, so you have to be patient.
