Another Build

At last the parts have arrived to get on with the rebuild . The casings have been milled to match the base plate of the reed valve but when i came to bolting it down i noticed that the bolts were to long , these had to be cut down on the bottom and ground on top to to fit properly. Also the gaskets had also needed a bit of a trim to make them fit nice .Other than that it all went together quite will and started up second kick. The crank is a new M.E.C one that i got off ebay. I have also rejetted the carb to:Main Jet 138. atomizer 264. needle x2. idle jet 55 lets see how this runs in like

Piston

Its a long weekend and seeing beedspeed are so slow at sending my stuff out i have decided to mod the malossi piston. I was not going to do this as i want good reliability (not that its been reliable at all) but what the hell. As you can see the holes have been filed down but not all the way like suggested by S.I.P this should still be strong and not crack, best to play safe

Inlet

As i'm still waiting on the parts, i got on with altering the crank side of the inlet, i will have to wait for the reed valve to do the carb side. It was hard work so this is as far as i dare to go

Twisted

Well all's not well with the scooter . A month back i had a issue with the igniton that i was trying to fix and i must have not tightend the flywheel up properly which riped the flywheel off and has coursed the crank to twist which damaged the casings. Thats all i needed its not been a good start to the year all round and with the Into The Valley run coming up its going to be a rush to fix it in time. I have decided i have to go with a reed valve to fix the problem as well as a new crank and bearings and stuff. Its been hard to find the funds so the lammy project has been put on hold but i have now ordered the parts and should have them soon
