Building an 88cc Honda Engine with Performance Kitaco Parts - CT70 Part 4

Vapor blasted engine cases, Kitaco performance parts and an evening in the workshop!

Follow along as we assemble this super clean 1969 CT70 engine that is full of new parts. Taking it all the way from 72cc up to 88 with the addition of a performance cylinder head, large oil pump and manual clutch conversion kit.

This is Part 4 of the series where we will be building an OEM + CT70 silver tag that will be ready to use and enjoy.

Let me know what you think of this engine in the comments below!

Smart move. 5 years ago, I rebuilt my 69 Honda MiniTrail. It was a full restore. I decided on a Big Bore kit to up the cc's and a new cam shaft designed for torque. The other thing I did was to go with a smaller front sprocket heavy clutch pack, and a racing carburetor. The end result was a torquey little beast that could easily pull my 290-pound frame around the farm. These little Honda's are pure fun. Congratulations on the build!

What kit did you use from Kitaco? I want to do this to my SL70 but cant even find number for your CT70

Like to see the details of the ignition conversion assuming it would run without a battery for my project which is a custom and simplified as much as possible...jf...
