Status: offline 		A lot of people as I remember were not too happy with them. If I recall they were one of the first clone engines from China that suffered a lot of quality control issues.

Status: offline 		If this motor hasn't been abused, then you should have one of the best and most reliable 50cc motors there is. I have one of them for five or six years without not a single problem. Still running strong.

Status: offline 		The DL engines often had issues with the bearing cages on the rod to crank and piston wrist pins. In order to get the most from your 50 I would suggest using a good oil mixed at 32:1 or 4 four ounces of oil per gallon of gas. Some of these engines are still performing well. Good luck.
