Quality? Zenoah VS. CY
 

Okay im getting new everything so this truck will be realiable rather it likes it or not !!
Anyway i need to know from poeple whos experiance both brands of engines. are these engine exactly alike ??
I priced a 29cc CY all chrome for 199.00 and the Zenoah 26 runs 245.00 both with inner clutch. Is CY cheaply made and what is the difference between them. before i would never even think of a CY engine but its cheaper with more power and you cant beat that. Im kinda hoping CY isent the KIA of the 2 storkes :D

Thanks again

if you cant decide you should give ESP a shout to help you out with your choices , he will only help you out with your needs not sell you the highest priced motors but one that will suit your needs .. http://www.earthsurferproducts.com/ not much of a site but has contact info for you ..

Yeah i was kinda hoping EarthSurfer would chime in on this one

But this is the motor im considering. it only has .75 more Hp then the stock Zen 26.. and this CY has a stuffed crank. that would be a noticable difference do you guys think?? Zen 26 with 30+ Hp and CY 29 with 3.75+Hp.. May the CY's are undeer powered

Can't speak for the CY.
But I got the 26cc Zenoah, with the ported head from O'Niel Brothers..
Problem is trying to get the power to the ground.
It's fun seeing it roost everywhere but when you racing against mates with the Baja's 23cc CY, traction is whats needed more...

What's wrong with your Zen 26?

RE: Quality? Zenoah VS. CY
 

just tired of the problems with it... very unreliable, i dunno i must have got a dud.. the stock Zen 26 in my marder still fires right up and runs all day long. So im changing everything

The biggest difference is CY has always been a bit of a crap shoot when it comes to cylinder plating. Zen has not had that problem. IMO, both of them could have better quality---but the plating is pretty importent, so for overall quality, I have to give it up to Zen. Keep in mind, there are many people that are satisfied with their bigger CY engines, and only CY offers stroked cranks and bigger than 34mm bore cylinders.
