Air cooled without a fan? That seems to be a tad worrisome. Like the above user said, air cooled engines run extremely hot. Since upgrading my 50cc TaoTao to an 88cc, I've added an extra vent that flows over and around the shroud to dissipate more heat from the general area. I can't quantify its effectiveness, but I'd like to think that more flowing air means more head getting moved away from the engine, which seems to be the name of the game.
