Finally!! My American Lifan ct70 clone charging with 140cc - Page 2

Weldangrind · 02-14-2012, 12:55 AM

Um, let's see...

I gotta change the rings in my XR250R. Son of Weldangrind's bike is on deck for the new carb that arrived today, and I'm gonna add to the wiring harness, build a battery box and give him electric start. The old YB100 to four stroke transformation is taking shape. We have a recently aquired 250 Killer that is at a crossroads; not sure which motor to stick in it. The TS185 is road worthy, but I'm gonna paint it when it warms up. The TS250 needs a carb (en route as we speak). The TW is soon to be tinkered with, because I still don't know how much work it will be.

All other bikes are on the back burner.

/hijack.

That it great! :P

Thread hijacked!

I meant to take pics last night.but we had a snow apocalypse last night and the wife and I had to drive pretty far in it to get her car.

I will for sure get some pics soon.

The e start engines have several different starter plates and side covers. My liifan was the oddest of the bunch. I will try to get pics of the different styles as well.

I did have to hack up my 110s starter plate and the 140s stator plate to make this all work.
But work it does.

Just got back from a little Winter ride on the ct clone!

I figured I would take a few shots of it. Dont make fun of my Dead winter grass....

140cc is running great!! I do need to drain the forks and put some heavier oil in them its way too fast to have sloppy forks..

Like how I got my badass Fiero in the background of that last shot

FastDoc · 02-20-2012, 04:33 PM

Great looking bike. I like the Fiero too. Very underappreciated car, IMHO.

Dead winter grass is great. No mowing. :wink:

dsrt4 · 02-20-2012, 04:47 PM

Thanks!

That little white Fiero is appreciated for sure. Especially after I Shoehorned Warmed Over Supercharged 3800 v6 into it.

FastDoc · 02-20-2012, 05:08 PM

Now there's a story! :P

Are you going to make it into a Lamborghini or a Ferrari replica, LOL (yes, sarcasm--keep it stock!!)

I like the CT-140 alot. I have seen a few videos of the Pitster Pro clone on youtube, and I think it's about time for a video from you!!

MICRider · 02-20-2012, 05:40 PM

The CT Clone looks great! Much better since it's all put back together and not hanging up

. Like the Fiero as well, I can only imagine how that thing goes with a S/C V6 in it! I had a Fiero a ways back as well, but mine was much more "ass" than bad... Lol!

dsrt4 · 02-20-2012, 06:18 PM

The Pitster clone is little better better bike with the disc's and all. I wish I could afford a disc frontend right now but even with my Fat butt on it the drum front end does surprisingly good.

I Wouldn't have a clue on how to do a vid for youtube.

Heck I do good enough to just put pics up..

The Fiero is staying bone stock as far as outwards apperance.
I do have a over the roof rear Ram air scoop for it that I am going to put on.. But that is about the extent of the exterior mods. I Searched for a few years for the 1988 Gt with the better suspension and no carrige rust... and I paid dearly for it.

It'll stay stock as a rock looking for the most part.

dsrt4 · 02-20-2012, 06:33 PM

Back to the bike.

The Engine , oil cooler, carb and some other little goodies were purchased from Tbolt USA.

The Exhaust is a Gio pit Bike Exhaust that I Bought from Gio Bikes in Canada.

I Bought it it because it fit the bike perfectly. Unfortunetly they did a piss poor packaging attempt and the original can was destroyed. The Other can was given to me buy a guy on planet minis.

The bike has a 33 rear sprocket and a 17 front. It Friggen flies. but it isn't a handful.

Next Mods will be a longer swingarm and maybe street type tires.

Not the first time they have had issues with this.

dsrt4 · 02-20-2012, 06:52 PM

Yep I know. I got this a while back before they where a vendor here.
The guy was a real piece of work.

Weldangrind · 02-20-2012, 09:55 PM

A 30mm Mikuni I bought from them arrived with a broken choke lever. They would only send a replacement if I paid for it. :x

I'm surprised that the stock hood clears the blower. What was the 3800 out of? I recall them in Buicks and Olds.

I picked up a black 110 four speed with a clutch, electric and kick start, so it should have the correct stator for lights, etc. Any thoughts, dsrt4?

dsrt4 · 02-21-2012, 01:38 AM

The 3800 l67 is out of a Buick park ave Ultra. It has the lower differential set so it launches like a Rocket. I had to notch the support strut to clear the alt but other than that it fits in there just fine.

dmmcd · 02-21-2012, 08:49 AM

I had a Pontiac Grand Prix GTP with the 3800 SC engine. It was a blast, very quick for a heavy car.

I sold it just in time, with nearly 140k miles on it. The guy that bought it blew up the supercharger on his way home...
