Re: Pros and cons of a 22 tooth primary on a kitted P125?
I'm also presently building a "quick" engine using a Polini pipe, cut crank, malossi 166 with the casings matched, and a 24mm carb. Was a bit miffed about gearing but finally opted for a 22/68 primary through a late model 150 gearbox. Going for nippy round town use as opposed to motorway c...

Fitting a 130 rear tyre
I want to fit a 130 rear tyre on my cutdown. I have seen the spacer kits sold on the SIP website, and for what's involved I'm sure I could make my own. Initially I plan to use the 2 wide halves' of a set of Vespa rims with a 130/70-10 tyre. I know that the right hand side of the swing arm of the eng...

Re: kickstart issues destroyed the casing
Well done on getting the cases welded and having it back up and running! The kickstart thing has never happened to me or anyone I've known but I wonder did you find any debris in the front part of the gearbox above the white plastic piece that's just a push in fit? I've wrecked a cosa clutch in the...

Re: kickstart issues destroyed the casing
Could you have inadvertently fitted a Smallframe kickstart cog as the engagement teeth face the opposite way to a P range? This may explain the noise on initial start up which would then cause friction and weld it to the tree. When the quadrant is in the rest position it allows the cog to freewheel...

kickstart issues destroyed the casing
I have just finished meticulously building myself a monster malossi MHR 221 engine. It really was an exercise in OCD I built the whole engine with the best bits available and spent ages tuning, porting, pre jetting the carb, and setting the ignition timing before fitting it into the frame and starti...
