My 83cc BBK destroyed the bearings. Started her up one morning to go to work and I heard it making funny noises. Got her to work and was barely idling. Went to start her up to go home and that was a no go. Pushed her home, drained the oil and voila, metal shavings galore.
I've since ordered a 72cc BBK for my spare 49cc engine.

Yup sounds about right. Mine went at 10,000 miles. Honestly it was 9,000 but I kept pushing it til it sounded like rocks in a cement grinder. I only upgraded to a 72cc kit, so don't expect much better mileage out of it.
How long was the push home?

Well I have to join this club too, Ladybug died after 4000 miles... Mine too was a 72 cc upgrade kit.
The 4000 miles were very hard miles, drove 70 to 80 miles every day for two weeks at wot as I was on a Hwy and had to drive flat out, so I'm sure that accelerated failure..

I got my new parts. I'm having a little trouble getting motivated to do the swap.

I know what you mean. I have 10 engines I need to work on but can't get motivated to work on ONE.

I would imagine that the weather in Detriot is about the same as here in east central Indiana, maybe even a bit colder, so if you don't have a heated garage in which to work, I totally understand the problem with motivation to work on your scoot!
CAN'T WAIT FOR SPRING!

Yes. Indiana weather sucks right now. I have a garage heated by a wood stove, It just seems so far away today lol. Raining and 37 degrees.
