I was wondering I was making a deal for a blata motor but that fell through. Has anyone converted the regular air cooled 49cc pocket bike motor to water cooled? And if so how hard was it? I have several people that have spare motors lying around that i could pick up for cheap if its not hard to water cool. Thanks

No one has tried this? Or is it just to much work?

Trying to water cool an air cooled motor is a considerable amount of work - even with the right tools and technique I imagine it is not real easy and no guarantee of results. There are water cooled bike motor options which I would consider before ever tackling an air cooled conversion.

One of the local lads round here has done something similar,perhaps he might chime in?

Yes i've done this, it's not too difficult if you have access to a lathe.
I just turned down the top of the cylinder, bought some aluminium tube and JB welded it on.

I have done that, but have not tested it in the water yet.
