[QUOTE="2strokerfun, post: 1412273, member: 69719"] I think flywheel weight makes a big difference. I built a Kolb Flyer twin-engine ultralight plane years ago. A friend built one too. We both used German-made Solo engines, which are nice compact 22-horse two-stroke engines with 220cc each. His engines came with propeller hubs already on them. Mine didn't, so I had a machinist friend make them for me and when I got them they weighed about 5 pounds each, way beefier and heavier than what was on my friend's engines. At first I was leery, but I noticed how my engines always started easier and ran way smoother than my friends, especially at low taxi rpms. Once you got the props turning with the pull start, they wanted to keep turning. But you don't want to put 5-pound weights on a MX bike and you really don't want to putt around slowly too much either. [/QUOTE]
