150cc Engine Knock
 

Hey everyone!

First post here, and just have a few questions to ask. I have a 150cc and was making a terrible engine noise, and ended up finding loads of metal in the filter screen. :tdown: Anyway, i'm planning on rebuilding the engine with a new crank and all new internals. It seems you can a rebuild kit with everything, besides the crank, for like 70$. Has anyone had good luck with these, or are they complete junk? I rather not rebuild twice.

Any help is appreciated, I just recently traded for this bike and trying to keep the cost down :doh:. It does have multiple upgrades, but nothing internal.

Thanks,
Irv

We all like to keep the costs down...but don't throw good money after bad. If at all possible, think you would be better off spending the extra $150, and getting a completely new engine. Then, with a bit of care, you'd be all set for a few years...instead of nickel and dimed by other failing parts.

If you bought it with the intention of patching it up, and then flipping it for a profit....guess you can disregard this post.
