chupacabra on cop cam

A couple of weeks ago a sheriff in southern Texas turned onto a dirt road and saw what he thought was just a dog. He flipped on his dash cam and got it all on tape.

 A chupacabra, you might say its just a dog but there’s no dog that is this ugly, well maybe. But this short video might make it a little clearer for you. Enjoy!

Here are some of the advantages of a 2 stroke engine. They do not have valves, simplifying their construction. They have the potential for about twice the power in the same size because they fire once every revolution ( 4 stroke engines fire once every other revolution). This gives 2 stroke engines a significant power boost.

Now here are some of the disadvantages. 2 stroke engines don’t last as long as a 4 stroke engine, this is due to the fact of not having a lubrication system. This means that the internal parts of a 2 stroke engine wear out quicker. 2 stroke engines require a mix of gas and oil to lubricate the crankshaft, connecting rod, and cylinder walls. With each new mix of air and fuel injected into the combustion chamber, a small part of it leaks out through the exhaust port, which means that 2 stroke engines are less fuel efficient. This yields less miles per gallon, and creates more pollution than 4 stroke engines. Also, 2 stroke engines burn oil, so the exhaust stinks.

You have 2 options when buying a small engine for custom applications, You have 2 stroke and 4 stroke engines. Now also take into consideration I’m comparing small 2 and 4 stroke engines, Not a car 4 stroke or a large Caterpillar, or Detroit 2 stroke. I’ll get into those later.

Here’s a few thing about 2 stroke engines. One you have to mix 2 cycle oil with gas to achieve the right ratio for the lubrication of the piston. Two a 2 stroke engines (in theory) can produce twice as much power as the same size 4 stroke at the same revs, but uses more fuel.

Here’s a few things about 4 stroke engines. One they run a lot cooler and therefore use a lot less fuel. Two you don’t have to mix oil with gas for piston lubrication which makes its easier on the owner to fuel their engine.

Its came to my attention that you can motorize about any regular bicycle. Theres these kits on ebay that come with everything you need. Engine, mounts,chain, gas tank, twist throttle, sprocket its all there. It takes about four to six hours to put together with basic mechanic knowledge.

Once your done all you have to do is ride the bike like you normally would and let the clutch go once your goin about 5 miles per hour and the engine will spring to life. With an average of about 30 miles per hour on flat ground it can get you from point a to point b in no time.

Heres a few more things that you can do to save gas. I know that alot of people have warranties on there cars and are not allowed to put any other parts than the manufacturer specifies. Some of these things can void your warranty, so check your paper work first. But anyways you can upgrade your air filter to a K&N or a high flow cone filter.

Which allows more air to flow threw, More air means that your gas burns more efficiently. Also if you buy a new intake hose thats straight hose instead of a rippled hose it will also allow for more air to flow easier. I’ve done this myself for on few of my cars. All I did was went to orielys auto parts and they got me everything i needed. Feel free to ask any questions.
