SP engine pick up
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get an SP engine to work in a standard bike?

Re: SP engine pick up
if its a road bike run it on non sp carbs and you will have better bottom end and mid range than a std sp.
It makes for a better road bike than a standard sp then

Battery, Fuel, choke, press button and it runs!!!! I can't believe that this thing has sat for two years and started that easily. Right into the gararge to do the swap ,lets hope this works.

Re: SP engine pick up
Are the sp carbs bigger than standard ones? & will I need to swap the carb rubbers to match?

Re: SP engine pick up
sp carbs are 35mm not 33mm on the non sp.
unless you have the sp airbox, loom and cdi stick with the 33mm carbs and inlet rubbers.
