Air cooled to water worth it?

[flint250trx]

Well my son was in his 2nd race on a stock air cooled drr 50 and he is having a blast other than the fact hes mad at me for not making his bike faster. lol.
So i threw in a clutch kit and shaved a bunch of weight by loosing the oil injection and the electrical. ( has a spark issue anyway) In doing so I came to realize his compression
is extreamly low. So would you do a rebuild on the stock air cooled set up or pinch the pennies and buy the parts to convert it over. If i could find a good full set up i would probably buy it
I am would like everything used from cylinder radiator water pump set up a carb etc. I have a carb set up and a set of v force 3 reeds in the shopping cart on ebay now so goign to give this post some time to work and see what you guys think.

Thanks alot

Josh

What set-up are you running now?

[flint250trx]

stock air cooled bike with a light clutch set up mainly for a freshen up.

if you convert it to L/C an aftermarket cylinder would be more bang for the buck, like a Stage-6 kit. Cost will be several hundred dollars to purchase all L/C parts, cost to rebuild your a/c would be less than 100$

We did well at local stuff with a grissom built malossi a/c motor but on the bigger tracks w/c is the way to go.I would just buy the parts as you can and convert it over once you have everything.

We also did well and won several races on an a/c 70. I have a stage6 a/c 70cc cylinder that would bolt on your motor (needs new piston) I would sell for $100 shipped if you are interested. It would definetly give you some speed.
