RE: Opinions on BME 116 Xtreme?
I had one of the first 115's made and it is still running today. It was pushed pretty hard too. You will not find a lighter or more powerful engine in that cc range. Don't forget, BME makes a 58cc that weighs 3lbs1oz with muffler and it's a brute too.
If you do buy one, baffle it well as you would with any other engine for peak performance and longevity.
