well i would like to start off by saying this is a great forum and very helpful with all the information you can find here.

well a friend gave me a i guess a 2007 tomberlin crossfire 150r. when i got it it wouldn't start. replaced starter then wouldn't start. replaced ignition coil with a
spare coil i had ( i know this probably isn't good but it works :) ) off of my drag car.
a msd blaster 2 coil. gave the air filter a shot of starting fluid and it started. then cleaned the carb. well after this i know why it was given to me. it would after an hour of riding burn a 1/2 a quart of oil :) . so ordered a 170cc big bore kit and some 10g weights its working good now but still want more power. :) so what else would you guy recommend from mods for this motor to replacing motor. if i change the motor i don't want to mod the frame too much and would like to keep a reverse on the buggy. thanks for any and all suggestions :)

did you put a cam in it, what type of exhaust are you running, what carb is on it now?

Know anyone who can port cylinder heads? That, a good exhaust and a good cam would be great.

Seriously, head porting can unlock MEAN HP if you know what you're doing.

you can put a 4 valve head on.They are big money tho and its a job.You may still want to port and polish it.To me its been worth it.

you will need to get rid of the stock exhaust so it can breath, I am assuming you have a uni or k&n air filter what size jet is in the carb?

you need to get rid of the stock air box and rejet the carb. I am surprized it running good with the stock stuff still on it. running the stock jet will make it run to lean with that 170 kit . open up or replace the exhaust to

Either a 4 valve or stroker crank. I have'nt needed more than half throtle to pull a hill yet :twisted: I typically gain speed on a hill with throtle, dont need it for the climb :D Funnyman is the same :twisted:

ok just playing around i made a custom exhaust. its just 1 1/4" straight pipe.
i replaced the exhaust flange with one i found off of a 90cc 4 wheeler. it is about 3/4" to 1" opening and welded to straight pipe. man it is loud but haven't got to test the cart out much but it seems like its got a little more power. re-jetted carb a little but need to fine tune it.
