Scooterotica

hi all
if anyone could help
rebuilt my t5 mk1 with the malossi reed valve kit and 30 delorto carb and it runs s**t.
not ported anything other than the in let and i was told not to cut the crank.
do i have to port the caseings and do i have to split the crank,ive done many 210s but this is my first t5.
i think i have a fule restriction by not cutting the crank.
any suggestions on a exhaust please.
lookin forward to the suggestions before i port the caseings.

cut the crank and it needs quite a bit off also need to open up the casings Diablo did mine and scorpian works well with a reedvalved 172 or if you can get one a taffy do not use a PM

to reed valve it properly you will require 360 degrees of inlet timing ,this requires a crank and inlet port to be modified extremly .
a half way stage would be to use a crank that is cut/ slashed back like a rotary valve race crank would be at least .
but to put on a reed block onto a std crank is just futile as you are just introducing a restriction as you have found out .

I had a T5 crank done a while back for a reed motor, absolute work of art, think the fella that did it was called Sean

pro porting did mine

well thank you every one for that us full information,i thought it wasnt a bolt on kit,i did ask at midland if i needed to cut a t5 crank and they said no,should stick with me instincts.
my m8 has built many tuned scoots but never done a t5.

thanks again everyone

sending my crank of tmorra so i will keep you informed.
thanks again

thank you all again for your reply's,i have now installed the crank witch i must admit its a work of art and its turned out better than expected,
the cases were ported and cut to the malossi kit and a 140 main and a 60 idle and shes running really sweet.

thanks again
