Totally pointless- adding power and efficency to a 66cc chinese bicycle moped...

[Lorena_Palin]

OK, so I have a partially finished bicycle moped (one of those 66cc happy time motors) in my garage. Engine is attached, not much else.

So, mostly for fun, I want to add power and efficiency to this thing.

Currently I am working on placing the carb/ air intake off to the side to get cold air (and because my frame is too small for it to fit normally.

I was reading about a "wicking" carburetor in the experements section from what I gathered it basically consisted of a metal box with holes in either side of it, a pool of gasoline, and special oil clean up rags hung from it to wick the fuel up and have it evaporate into the air.

Reading this, it looked simple enough, I just have a few questions:

1. On an air cooled engine, would this overheat it? I assume this would create a lean burn that would make it burn hotter.

2. how well does 2 stroke engine oil evaporate? would I be getting the proper amount of oil to my engine?

3. I know this would help eficenct, but would it hurt power? I only have 2-3 horsepower, so this is a biggy.


Other things I'm considering:

-smooth, not knobby tires.
-Water/Methanol Injection to help reduce engine heat
-small fan, battery powered, next to the engine, to cool it faster (or just build arger fins)
-Nitrous. I'm a 19 year old guy...who dosn't want nitrous?

Another, sort of unrelated question. HHO- I know it's hard to get it right as an integrated system, but how difficult would it set up an electrolisis machine off power at home, hook it up to a compressor, and get a fitting to fill up a propane tank with HHO and adding it to the fuel mix? Also how would just adding strait propane, oxygen, or any other gas that can be bought in a small cylender effect efficency, power, and heat?

P.S. I know that compressing your own HHO at home would be dangerous and crazy, and that adding a front hub motor and charging a battery at home would be much simpler and easier.
