Scooterotica

I dug this out of the garage as was keen to see what it sits at on a good road so got the gps out and wound it to the max revs which i was happy to sit at on a motorway/duel carrageway so went up the road and back.


Now i didnt scrimp on quality when i built the motor but didnt buy things i didnt need and didnt go for the "ultimate" kits on the market,its only 130cc but 69mph aint bad as a cruising speed.On the way back i nailed it in 4th but it didnt rev out as good as it can do which was a shame but still 77mph.This motor cost me less than 1k to build and apart from a few teething troubles which was my fault,its been reliable and it runs on good ol Groundsman.

Must admit i do have a soft spot for small frames good speeds though fella , now get it put away and get the grass cut before the Mrs gets back

Only cut the grass last Fri but lots of rain and then this sun,guess it goes mental.

Whats the engine?

I tuned Mrs Balls smallframe in secret for her, but then she got pregnant so has only ridden it twice!

I lent it to a mate to ride the other week and he was quite surprised how fast it was - it beat quite a few of my other mates

That is just a polini 130 with 18mm carb and standard exhaust. I did get some fat fingers up the barrel first though

Not fat fingers in the exhaust port though? It a slightly ported Parmakit with 28phbh,hammerzombie mk1 and std electronic ign. The Polini is a good kit,a mate uses one and its very reliable and it flies. You done the inlet timing on the crank? Change carb to a 25.
