Sorry for not replying sooner-have been away for a while(no, not a mental health facility!)
I bought the C90-G from a dealer 2 years ago-low mileage and VGC. Took it to IOM summer 2017 and didnt like the 3 speed semi-auto gearbox (particularly when trying to get round the Ramsey Hairpin! :eek ) Autumn time I decided to strip bike and treat any frame corrosion etc. Bought a Lifan 110cc 4 speed manual clutch engine complete with carb and ancillaries from Pit Bike Spares for £173. The bike runs well with the original Honda Keihin carb and although not much quicker has better torque and almost identical fuel economy. Went back for 2018 Manx GP in late August 2018 and the bike was faultless.
I belong to the C90 forum: C90 Club.co.uk -a very helpful & friendly bunch-glad you are keeping the cub!
Dave do you think that your C90 runs good on the original Keihin C90 carbatooter? And you feel it is not running lean at all?
think I might go a similar way was thinking about the 4 speed semi auto engine, what is the main advantage do you feel with the manual lump and was it reasonably easy to sort out a clutch cable and fine a suitable route for it without it looking a hash-up?
Cheers appreciate your input.
Tommy.
PS: Is this the foccing C90 Owners Club Now? LOL!
I promise I will not ask anymore C90 questions,
NOOoooooo hang about this is my post, I could post in 'Whatever else you got' post couldn't I.
