I found out from coeshow that 230 motors bolt right in..

Now I'm considering a 230 motor with a 250 big bore, 30mm carb, cam, and exhaust... mmmmm

Would be a good route to go, since I don't like kick starts, and kick starters are prone to going out on 150f's I hear..


edit: also not to mention the only bore kits for the kick start 150, are teh 170, 175, 190, and 250 kit..
The 250 kit is expensive $1200..
Whereas the 250kit for the 230 motor, is only $500 I think..

I figure I could probably get a 230 motor for anywhere from $300-$700, and sell my motor for $200-$400..
Then bore it to a 250, get a big carb, cam, and exhaust, and see where that puts me

I hear with the 250 kit, I should be looking at 24-26hp+, with TONS of torque all the way through the power band
