Scooterotica

Barrel and piston back from the workshop.
New timing with the 2,5 m packer under:
T:110°
E: 148°
I: 109-45° makes 154°
I need to rise the exhaust up to 160°. It's about 2,1mm to be removed.
BD:25°
I've got almost 4mm squish now. Guess it needs a good skimming job to get 0,85mm...

Squish at TDC:



Packer being ported:

Main casing done and ported:







But got a prob with the right casing. A welding bubble has passed through where the stator takes place. There is a chamfered flat at this place where the wall is very thin.

leak fixed with a putty of epoxy.

Exhaust port done. Only 160° but this small engine needs to keep enough guts at low revs... Keep in mind it's 130° on a std barrel....

barrel and head skimmed off:







Head bolted on with a real squish band. Not the case with the original head.



Engine rebuilding is about to begin.

Had to reshape (a bit) the head. Squish clearance between head and piston wasn't good with a negative angle at one step.



took my moviluty and did a little squish job:



almost done:

I've been quite busy on several projects at the same and left the 50S alone a few weeks. I'm back on it. My soon just succeeded to his 50cc driving licence.
During his training:



Good news and it's time to accelerate a bit quicker.

Fresh painting:







Wiring loom and cables/sleeves in place:



Hydraulic conversion starting:





Engine's back in the frame:













first kick start: Seems to work.....



My new acquisition: APE50 country cross. So fun to drive it....

I'm excited to find out how well it goes down the road!

And, am I looking at the glossiest black paint job ever?

I guess so..... Electrical wiring is almost finished First road try within a few days.

That's about these glossiest thing Iv ever seen. Looks like chrome!
