i have an issue and was hoping someone in here could help me out, i installed this part on my bat and it worked as expected. however a day later it was much more difficult to start (took much more pedaling) i used to be able to start it in a quarter turn, and now i have to really pedal it hard just to get it to sputter and then i have to give it max throttle and slowly let off for it to idle. could it be a spark issue? maybe a smaller/bigger gap? or is it idle speed?

An Absolute MUST HAVE

This head is a complete game changer. It awakens the engine in ways I didn’t even know possible. This head allows you to accelerate without having to use those pesky pedals and adds (and I’m serious here) 10mph to your lauras top end. If you have a good exhaust, carb, intake, and add this puppy in you will need a new speedo. As mentioned bellow grab yourself some of those new studs so that you can just bolt the head right on and you’re good to go. 10 minute install and probably doubles the power.

Adds more driveability

This head gives the stock M48 noticeably more pickup / driveability. Your low to mid range is where it really shines. Now the M48 can handle almost any hill within reason. You WILL need shorter studs for this head, as the stock M48 studs are too long. The ESO quality puch cylinder stud - M6 x 106MM sold here work perfectly, the only reason I am giving it 4 stars out of 5 is that you need to buy these studs to not have a "backwoods" look with shims, bushings, or excessive washers to compensate the long stock studs. Torque each nut to 8-9 ft lbs. Clean the head with carb cleaner or acetone before install. Do not use a gasket, trust me. Enjoy actually leaving the stop sign on your ride.

Head Gasket?

Just wondering since the stock M48 doesn't use a head gasket. Looks cool though.

Sounds like a dream! Where my clutch doesn't love my choice. **QUESTION- could the head be paired with the 64cc morini cylinder kit?
