When I installed one of these kits the alignment dowels would not stay in the cylinder. I bent them a little to stay stuck in the head. All four stud holes are drilled large all the way through cylinder. Was it the Airsal kit?

Rode one with NOS dry spray with a bunch of other go fast stuff. As far as comparison between 50mm BBK's? The piston looks better butt no measurements as in compression and other.

carasdad I agree Fully most Americans think that just because it has so called brand name stamped on it, It's got to be better & worth more $$$. They don't understand that they are paying for brand name stamped on it. But it's there $$$ so I say let them spend it. You Just can't help some people, Evan when you try in vain.

I had a TaoTao ATM that I cracked the original piston and blew it up the second time . I was a secret 63 cc . I had a meltdown as NONE of my 30 or sop toys ever had a piston problem , and I was a teen and drove em like I stole em . I had just joined SD.com and was suggested the Air Sal kit by a member . Weeeeeeell I went to my dealer and told him I did not want another PO crap kit and asked about the Air Sal . The scooter gods were smiling on me as he just got in two kits . I paid 78 dollars wholesale as he showed me the invoice since it was the 3rd build within 2 and 1/2 months and under warranty . I looked at it and instantly I could fell the craftsmanship and material superiority of crappy China pot metal like before . The kit reuses the stock 40mm or 49cc head , so you may need an extra base gasket and hope your timing chain is long enough . I had already went from 8 gram to 5 gram rollers , had 8x MJ with the 63 and tried a , 92 and ended up with a MJ . I was a beast out of the hole , uphill was increased , top end about the same maybe a 5MPh or less gain , but I got there faster and was easier to maintain speed . When I had barely 50 miles on it a guy at a redlight came up behind me on a Peace 150 and said " When the light turns green I will show you what areal scooter will do " . Well me being a : street racer " I accepted his challenge . The next redlight was half a mile away uphill . Light turned green I pushed off with my feet and smoked him until around 80% of the way and he barely crept past me . I weigh 200lbs and he could have only been 120lbs wet . I bought my Echarm and decided to sell my lil hot rod to a friend of a friend who blew up his scooter and just had a baby . My dealer said to ask 800 as he would charge a 1,000 + with the AirSal kit if new . I told him I wanted 700 to help him out . He took it for a test ride and had cash in hand before he came to a stop . I settled for 600 as that left him with 24 dollars . Over a year later , around 3 months ago I ran into the guy at a gas station and he was still riding it . He only had to replace the belt , headlight and rear tire since buying it from me . I would buy everyone they have as they retail 149 . Would like to hear how it does with a 50mm head . I had stock exhaust and airbox with 3 3/8 holes drilled in it
