In today's video I break down the Harbor Freight new 224cc Max Performance Engine, remove the governor and oil sensor, get the engine cerakoted, then completely re build it with performance parts billet rod, billet flywheel, cut to length push rods, ratio rockers, hot 265 cam, flat top piston, flat slide makuni carb, billet side cover, and billet valve cover and topped the build off with billet cup washers. I did have to clearance a few minor things. We should see ~20+ hp compared to the original 6.5hp. I put this on my trail master mb200 mini bike.
