Well... She ran like a screaming demon up to the point where the starter gear popped loose...maybe... I still havn't popped that side of the engine off. Got pissed when I took the CVT side off and saw that the variator roller fused to the crankshaft and I couldnt take it off.

Currently the new engine is a scrappy dog "GY6-200" B-case with a 30mm carb. I am still working on tuning the carb. However, I do like that it is a 61mm, has an oil cooler, 115mm variator, 11 pole stator, 842-20-30 Bando. This engine also required me having to buy a different rim and tire( Had to get a 13") due to different hub sizes( my old 12" had a smaller diameter hub). This is a plus overall as well. I wanted 13" tires, just didn't want to buy them right off the bat.

I took off the 11 pole for now and am using my old 8 pole. Didn't want to mess with the conversion yet.(hehe which is a good thing considering I messed up this basic swap.) I also took off the clutch and put my Motorio with NCY sliding sheave, K&S bell back on. Also have my old black NCY intake back on. Oddly the intakes for 30mm carbs(chrome-colored) didn't fit with this engine(clearance issue). So for the most part, it is the same as the old motor with one new improvement that i had wanted to do(oil cooler). I still need to put the other drive gears in. I believe i went with 15/36 maybe 16/36 cant remember, been a while. The other is to put the A-9 cam back in, but I am waiting to do that as well. Want to let her run as she is so I can get a baseline feel for her. Also, and don't know the why of it yet, but I can not use my old stroker crank on this engine. Being a "B-case" design I was told it wouldn't work. Down the road if all goes well I am strongly considering turning her into a water-cooled 4-valve 232cc. That is one of the big pluses to the B-case. The jug is wider so it has more meat to bore into without coming too close to the retaining rods.

Also, I have not been on the boards for awhile due to my computer taking a crap on me. Finally got that issue resolved as well.
Thank you Bob and Mill for the shout out. I had hoped things would have went easier, but if my trials helped others, which was sorta the point I was shooting for as the project went along, then I am happy. Also I know I had to have made a few chuckle and go Good God man, what are you doing/thinking.... That is not how it goes/works!!! I truly enjoyed the support and patience from this forum. NO way in I would have been able to do that project without you all. That was my first time wading into the waters of a engine tear down and rebuild with no prior knowledge other than basic mechanic skills.
