So, the option is to look for an EBay ATC125m carb - nice because it's a genuine Keihin and has a built in petcock. Bigger Honda engines were sold with 20mm carbs. The ATC125M and TRX125 both used a similar Honda horizontal engine - bigger bore, shorter stroke, but 125cc nonetheless. Going to the rear was an option but would require cutting a big hole in the leg shield to make it fit. I considered mounting the carb sideways thru the leg shield, but didn't want to listen to the intake air honk and it would make riding in the rain or washing the bike a hassle. When the manifold that comes with the engine and this carb are used, the carb must be mounted to the side or to the rear at an angle. You can buy this engine in kit form and receive a carb and coil, but the carb you'll receive will likely be a Chinese Mikuni 22mm - a workable carb but quite a bit longer than stock. I bought mine from PCC Motor because they are local but they are available all over the internet and Ebay. The engine I purchased was the common Lifan 1P54 54mmX54mm bore and stroke, semi-auto motor. *Be able to lazily cruise at 45 mph with me (think lumberjack) on it *Find a carb that would have a built in petcock to prevent having to have a "T" inline or hang a stand alone petcock on the frame somehwere *Still be able to use the stock airbox (although modified slightly) *Still be able to use the stock leg guard with minimal alterations I hope to provide enough information that a person could duplicate my effort without having to go thru the missteps I took and prevent them from buying the same thing twice because something didn't work out right the first time. I pondered whether to post this in the Lifan engine thread or to add it onto one of the many Honda Passport threads but in the end decided to start my own thread.
