The engine also built up massive carbon on the heads preventing valve closure. The 55 with the Saito carb and the stock 5-100 are basically perfect runners. Adrian took care of me with the 75. He believes in customer satisfaction. -Tom
Tom,
Would you consider machining another adapter for my 55cc and I will buy the Saito carburetor?
I will be working on my Gilmore Red Lion this year to put the UMS 55cc in.
