Went from the Original 50 2 stroke motor to 125 2 stroke. Simple conversion.

Typhoons actually have a 125 2 stroke version but was never brought to the US.

Engine used in this case was a Skipper Lx 125 AC engine (Big Drum) hence bigger rear wheel.
Figuring out wiring and removing engine.

50cc engine removed.

Grind a couple millimeters off each side of original 50cc engine mount to fit onto 125 engine. (Cheaper than buying custom engine mount). Didnt take any pictures of the process.

And there we have it folks, bone stock, even has the tiny 17mm carb from the 50cc. Runs smooth like butter.
