you need to get to sleep frosty



very fine sandpaer (emery cloth) after you rub what you can off with a rag and denatured alcohol

different crank , it is 14mm instead of the 13mm but it really doesn't make any major performance gains . the good carburetor and better crankcase makes a difference though


the n21bf limited is a sweet engine for the price

the n21bf will actually accept a p5x crank (or plus 4 ) and conrod . it has the same carb as the p5xs .

sport cranks are not the best for high performance , the competition cranks create much more power in general throughout the whole powerband . larger crank intake, larger bore in the crank throat , more efficient fuel release out of the end of the crank . just plain more power do i really need to say more
