When marking the porting, you could first coat where the base gasket goes with either magic marker or Dychem blue, and then scribe it. The line will be easier to see. Thanks for the videos.
Pro tipp, use your sharpie and paint the gasket surface. Afterwards scribe you lines into the blackened surface. This gives you high visibility and really accurate lines with a lot of contrast.
I've done that before as well. I think scribe alone is the only way I hadn't tried it before. I have an easier time with marker alone than scribing alone. Have to move the cases around a bit to let the light catch the lines sometimes that way. Sometimes I try different stuff just because.
I use a Foredom SR. You can get full kits or piece together the motor, controller and hand piece. I bought their hand control, but later discovered that a router speed controller works fine for me for way less. If you get a Foredom, pick up an extra flex shaft. It has a lot of torque compared to handheld tools like the Dremel. Takes a little getting used to, but it will pull through things that the others don't so well. Down side is that it can break the flex shaft if it catches hard enough. I use the 44T hand piece, but also have the H30. The 44T is a nice small hand piece that can be held more like a pen (it is larger than a normal pen though). It uses a wrench to tighten bits into the collet. The H30 is larger diameter, but uses a chuck like a drill so swapping bits is faster/easier. Here are a bunch of links to either a kit or pieced together setup. They are amazon affiliate links.

I would at least go over the tune if I did this to a working setup. I have never pulled a working setup apart just to port match and cut trenches to tell you for sure that it changes the jetting requirements.
I have never tried porting cases with the same setup unported and ported to tell you for sure about any exact benefits or carb changes. You may want to watch this for more detail though : ua-cam.com/video/XcgFI905UGU/v-deo.html
Question: do you loose any volume/charge from making the box area that you JB weld up.Sure the radius directs it in to the cylinder, but you need a certain volume their as well?
The trench areas increase the crankcase volume, so it lowers the primary compression. Opening up the ports does the same. Basically any material removal in there lowers primary compression. Filling, like when I'm trying to eliminate a dead spot to direct flow up instead of into a corner of the original port, will have the opposite effect and raise primary compression. There are ratios that some people look for. I never measure my primary compression. It can have a detrimental effect going too far either way, but so far this has worked for me on this type of engine.
Just curious, with that port trenching work, you are essentially trying to skip primary compression by making the incoming mixture to go into the cylinder directly, Wouldn't this starve the bottom-end bearings from lubrication ?
As I've done it, it should never be effective enough to starve the bearings. Plus, if any oil or fuel/oil mixture falls out of suspension, it should make it's way to the bearings as it always did. I've seen some that shield the crankcase with a metal barrier, leaving only a slit for the rod. I'm not sure if or how they deal with oiling in those cases.
There is a very interesting CVT/engine design of scooter,,try search Derbi GP1 50 racing.It puts CVT/engine together inside the frame and use chain in the right side to drive the rear wheel.You should take a look at it,Maybe you will use similar idea to your future modifications.
Interesting. That's more common with larger bikes (my TMAX is like that), but I didn't know there was a 50 doing it with a full CVT engine and chain drive.
@@49ccscoot I pretty like such design,,without a CVT box there you can lean more angle when turning.Sadly it's only for 50cc version,Derbi's other scooter with larger displacement models don't follow this design.
These are about as good as it gets for these 49cc based engines as far as I know. The Yamaha stuff has less material, or at least Zuma engines do and someone on the forum has stroked an Aprilia engine and said it's similar to the Zuma cases. You can get stuff like the Malossi C-One or RC-One cases that are redesigned and use flange mount cylinders.
@@49ccscoot if your interested in something beefier, have a look into DIY Electro Discharge Machining (EDM) the ram method seems to be a good fit for this use case.
does trenching give alot of extra performance? im planning on flowing and port matching my derbi engine for an 80 cc cillinder what are the benefits and downsides
I would at least spend the time to port match. Doesn't have to be perfect, but there can be a pretty big mismatch with some cylinders. Trenching probably isn't worth it to everyone. I can't even say for sure that it makes power. I've got a whole video about it here : ua-cam.com/video/XcgFI905UGU/v-deo.html
I don't really think it's worth doing on many setups, unless you have the engine apart for other reasons. Then, I would at least port match in most cases. I don't know that MX setups would get much or anything out of trenching. I think they are generally better designed from the start. 49cc scooters are intended to be very low output, and they have tiny transfers compared to most MX stuff so I think they can use all the help they can get. I don't even think it makes a big difference on scoots, but I've never done 2 setups exactly alike aside from trenching to know. I have a video that talks specifically about this stuff : ua-cam.com/video/XcgFI905UGU/v-deo.html
@@49ccscoot It's a 1994 CR80R apart for a full rebuild, and I'm going to gasket match the transfer ports, but saw your trenching vids. Interesting work!
Didn't you lose a lot of precompression by removing all this meterial? Instead of jb weld i would take it to someone who can weld the spots with aluminum. But great work!
Precompression is overrated. To much of it makes the powerband really narrow. A tuned exhaust is a lot more important. But this does only apply to eninges with long enough port timning. Engines for use with just a muffler are more dependent on precompression. Keep in mind, a bigger volume has a lower resonance frequency. ;-)
Pipes have come a long way and they can pull mixture in. Modern pipes do a lot of work. The big issue with welding is warping. Chinese metals aren't everyone's favorite to work with either. One good thing about JB Weld or other epoxy is that if it fails I could clean it out and have it welded. If a welder warps the cases, I'm starting over again with new cases... assuming it's known and it doesn't just cause me troubles that I can't pinpoint for a long time.
Rear facing intake is what all the cool kids do. That can make a short and straight path toward the transfers without changing direction so much. Requires a custom subframe.
No one tested on the dyno with and without trenshing. There must be a difference because motocross and Gp bikes always come with that. If it the casings or the cylinder
when you go true the crank case its to trow away dont jb welt that men xD commong be a little more professional plus your removing way to much you create more room means less vaccum in de crank chamber you cant just eye ball that xD
I've used JB Weld for years and known of some people with more experience than both of us combined that have used it. It may not be the best technically, but it has worked.

Have you tried aluminum weld or brazing aluminum rod they sell it at harbor freight instead of jb weld
No. Other people have recommended the same though.
Try it on old case or something I'm curious
Is carburetor adjustment required after such a port? Will the engine behave differently? Is that the kind of regulation as it could be?
I would at least go over the tune if I did this to a working setup. I have never pulled a working setup apart just to port match and cut trenches to tell you for sure that it changes the jetting requirements.
Have you ever had the JB weld come loose inside the motor?
Not yet. I've only had cracking of the JB Weld used for backfilling. Still never fell out of there even. Just cracked and leaked.
Hi,
I want to do the same.
1- what is the benefits, results?
2- do we need to do adjustment to the carburettor?
