Vega back to 75cc Help..
Posted: Fri Nov 11, 2011 8:57 pm
I have decided I am going to put my Vega back to 75cc as it used to be. It is enough for potting around Barcelona and who knows, maybe I shall do a little trip on it as well (Barcelona-Roma or something crazy). The reason is also because I have aquired a Starstream which someone bought precisely to do a Vega conversion and took the cylinder, piston, head and crank. I already have a mad Lui 140 under construction at the moment.
So, I have a Japanese con rod that I bought many moons ago from Chislespeed and I wonder if that conrod needed some mods to be fitted? If a base gasket needs to be made (a packing plate) does anyone know if the exhaust will fit? One thing that I can't stand about the Starstream conversion that I have now on my Vega is that the original exhaust will not fit and I had to build these ugly metal conrods to tie it up with the crankcase.
Finally my last question is if I can use the Casalambretta kit on a four speed Lui crankcase and if it will make any difference or if I am just better off fitting the original Vega barrel.
Best regards and thanks for your help,
Jaime
