See the marks from where the old kit transfers were?
1 wurd: blowtorch.
See them little flecks of metal?
That's one there.
And another.
Masking tape to keep metal out of the seal.
yuk.
oh yeah lookit that sludge.
Ok here we go:
Gettin' there.
Oh yeah she oughta breathe good now.
What a nice ignition.
Ever give a motor a blowjob? Fun explaining that one on the invoice....
Time to go back on the bike.
Fired right up. Tuning notes as follows:
Teknix cases matched to 64cc metrakit polini head carbon fiber Malossi 4 petal reed block & intake, Dellorto PHBG pilot: 40 main: 100 W7 needle leanest notch simonini circuit two ball vari stock 12v NOS peugeot points sys pulls hard chickened out speedo read past 120 km/h, so that's at least 60, right? zowie....pipe seems pretty decent - not too peaky.
80cc 45mm reed valve athena kit on a 505/1a bottom end.
19 mm mikuni vm? i think some old clone 85 jet drilled out to somethin' that works, problably around 90 but who knows for real?
the pipe's on the wrong side 'cause of the header! biturbo chamber hangin' on there.
rear wheel geared to 43. puch mags, 3.0 gazelles.
gets to 40 pretty fast. tops out at 43. revs to all jesus even though it's restricted on purpose to help the bottom end and especially the clutch not explode with the bendy air intake. the exhaust header is skinny 19mm? i'm pretty sure. it's kind of flattened where i contoured it so the chamber fits on the bike.
thanks to josh at TBS for hookin' it up.
zowie look at those transfers
replaced broken circlip, regasketed the case halves. case matched!
clutch nut slippage problem solved by using two axle nuts. i loctited them, too. a hundred miles later so far so good.
