Do I OR DONT I

[pk50]

Should i order a new 150 cylinder+piston or the 175 cylinder +piston
both cost about the same. With the 175 will i have to do some work on the head ? It could be cheaper than re boring my old cylinder.
about 150.00 for piston and cylinder from jet 200. what do you think?

If you get a 175 you also must get a bigger carb, and probably a big bore exhaust as well. My 175 kit fit without a problem, but I did have to cut a piece of a cooling shroud off to fit the new manifold, which you'll also need if you get the exhaust. Of course if you just get the 150, it's just plug and play.

Keep it as stock as you can. That way you can bring it anywhere you want with minimal fuss. If I were to do it again I would do the same with my 2nd one as well. Just my 1/2 cent

Can you get a piston larger than 57.6 mm for your current cylinder?

[pk50]

I think 57.6 is the largest from what i see .maybe sticking to the stock 150 makes the most sense .

[jbcollier]

It's the simplest and least expensive way, absolutely. A 150 cylinder and a piston and you're back in business -- and a selection of larger main jets!!

You know how I feel about hopping engines up, it's a very, very slippery and expensive slope.

That all said, was it fast enough in 150 form?

[pk50]

Most definitely fast enough for the brakes that are on it.

[jbcollier]

Well, you could do something about the brakes, and then...
