I need advice

The 10 Hp 60cc two stroke, first I assume it must have an about three ft long expansion chamber to get that kind of Hp out of such a small motor?
Then as I said in your other thread, do not count on that 15,000 RPM and 10 Hp for more than a few seconds. Very high output air cooled two strokes like that will seize as there just isn’t enough cooling for high power for very long at all.
Then, unless I’m mistaken the noise will have to be heard to believe? What kind of exhaust system does it have?
Two stroke outboards I believe run in the neighborhood of five to six thousand RPM? I think, been a long time actually since I measured one.
My old Kawasaki Jet ski stock hit its rev limiter at about 5,000 RPM. I built a PJS dual carb reed motor with expansion chamber etc and I think it came onto the pipe at around 10,000 RPM then, maybe less, but you never ran it for more than maybe 10 sec at full tilt or it would break a piston, and it was water cooled.

In short, best thing you could do is sell that motor and buy some kind of four stroke lawnmower or pump motor, it’s just not suited for this use, in my opinion.
