I agree with Bamma, Dont waste time boreing it out .060 for power as it adds only about 2 cubic inches. Ive got 4 cubs (2 are for sale). The cheapest way to make power is first of all, make sure the rings and valves are good. After the new rings, I milled .075 off the head ( valves still clear with the thick head gasket ). This raised compression from 6.5 to 7.9 to one. Next use the bigger zenith carb that were factory on the newer cubs. Finally make it breath, enlarge the exaust and intake ports on the manifold, you can go up to one eighth of an inch all around. This will turn your cub into a super cub for sure. Yes its true, you wont have traction to use most of the power but I use my cub for mowing primarily and this allows me to use a 5 foot belly mower in 2nd gear. For my property the H or even an A would be a little to big. Plus its just plain fun to hot rod a Cub!!
