Two Stroke Porting Basics

I'm always on the prowl for a good read about two stroke porting.  I found a good one on a Singapore scooter site who got it from a UK two stroke racing site.  It explains the two stroke process pretty well.  There's some tips I used in the past as well as some new information I didn't know.  In any case, I hope this expands your two stroke tuning minds as it did mines:

Digital Speedo on da Cheap

Since I've been traveling further distances with my Puch in Japan, I needed an odometer to keep track of my mileage (or in my case kilometers).  I also needed to keep track of my speeds since in Japan, the law states the max speed your allowed to go depends on your engine's displacement.  I registered my Maxi as a 75cc because of my Gila kit.  So I'm allowed to go a maximum speed of 60 km/h.  That's only 37.28 mph!!!  If I registered it as a 50cc, I would only be allowed to go a maximum speed of 30 km/h (18.64 mph)!!!
