I'm not fond of the following engines:

C100 (pathetic and weedy kick start)
CM90 and derivative pushrod cast iron lumps (overheat rapidly)
6v90 - overheat and seize rapidly

I do like:

6v70's
12v90's

That said I'd love to build a 6v90 with a dual range ATC 125M motor.

did you research models before opting for the early model C90 6V. Was you aware they did a 12v round headlight model, or was it just the round light look you wanted, :?:

I'm running two 'CM90 Derivative' engines, seem ok, and I absolutely love 'em!

I did have a nip up on one occasion to be fair, (East Anglian Rideout) but it was a blistering day, I'd been flat out for miles, and I'd just had it rebored by Scholar Engineering.

its not happened in the 2-3 years since.
