Remember a while back,there were kits on the market that were 200cc S.I.L barrels,lathed down,and the stud holes drilled out,so they would fit the small block engines?,well,i picked a used one up,cleaned it up,and fitted it to Mrs Kevspeeds scoot.
It does the business,but clatters a bit,as in sounds like piston slap!.
Now,before fitting,i did the piston/bore clearance check,and all read within tolerance,so im wondering,if the clattering is an unfortunate product of the thinner spigot or am i looking at something more serious?
Anybody else run one of these kits and experienced the same clattering sound?

I tried 1 of these a while back while waiting for muggy replacement kit; and found the same as you. I could not wait to get it off as I was always wondering when I would feel that familiar feeling of total lack of power. The cap who took on the Indian was very happy with, but it was not for me.
