Hi all, I just bought a new Baja Dirt Bug from the local Canadian tire, I know its a pretty cheap machine but I only bought it for zipping around the pits at the drag races, anyways its has a no-name little 2.8 hp engine and I was wondering if anyone knows if a comet torque-a-verter will work with these bikes, i also was thinking about getting a 5hp for it but, i was hoping a comet would work on this engine also. Anyways is this possible?
Baja Dirt Bug? Comet torque-a-verter
I dont think the converter is worth it just getting a bigger motor would do the job, There are alot of motor kits like 6.5hp comes with everything you need and easy to install, done in less than an hour most kits costing about 250+ shipping...cheap for everything that comes with it, check out Cjtmini's kit, i dont know if it would work with your bike but its a great deal.
Dirt bug and Doodlebug by Baja are the exact same bike.Only a different name and reflectors added to sell it in Canada.
lzrider,I got my Dirt Bugs new 5.5hp engine at Tooltown on sale for $138 tax in.You will need a new clutch with a 3/4" shaft size.I recomend ordering one online.I paid $90 for a MaxTorque from a local go-kart track.They are MUCH cheaper from places like Snowmobile Parts, ATV Parts, Go Kart Parts, Mini Bike Part, Lawn Mower Parts, Chainsaw Part and Small Engine Parts.That's MFG Supply.I get most of my parts from there now.Good prices,fair priced and reasonably quick shipping.
However,CJTMini's kit is a great idea too.Everything you'd need in one package,plus a new,no-drill mounting adapter.I wish he's had made it before I did my Doodlebug up.

do you know what kind of gearing you want to run or how going up/down in sprocket sizes changes stuff?
edit: i just realized that was an old thread. :censored:
