Indian Pistons

A friend here in USA has an older 175 conversion. She needs an oversized 62mil piston but no one has them in stock. There are Indian ones advertised on eBay every day. Does anyone have any experience with them.

Re: Li150 seized. What do you think.

Success. three kicks to start then first kick every time after. A little smoke at first but probably burning off assembly lube, a little uneven idle at 2100rpm and its a bit bright to see my timing light. Nevertheless, total success so far. Dead chuffed. I might need to learn how to adjust the carb ...

Re: Li150 seized. What do you think.

Don't worry, its the original innocent barrel. I cleaned it by wire brushing all the rust off it, painted it with engine paint to keep it looking clean and preventing rust. I had it overbored to 57.6, 3rd oversize then I fettled it by cleaning and chamfing all the ports. I am going to do the squish ...

Re: Li150 seized. What do you think.

The welding trick was my next move. My buddy is a navy welder so I was about to go give him the sad eye. I'm not sold on the hex head either. I am getting the Casa seal plate and it has slotted screws. https://scooterlab.uk/casa-performance-oil-seal-plate-retro-components/ What do you think about pu...
