Hi Friends

thank you for all your comments on my Si.
it gives me great satisfaction knowing that the style i have chosen for my project is well received.

Hansieb i don’t have a video now but i will get hold of a camera and do one for you.
it does also sound very nice, more like a 125 than a 70cc.
Edjuh the dogs danglees indeed !! i always…[Lees meer]

Thank you friends

Yes it is an original mono version from 1983.
cheers

Hi Edjuh
Glad you like it as it took a lot of time and effort getting it like that.
I got the clutch bell from ciaocross as you may know already.
Cheers
Giuseppe

Hi Edjuh

Yeah finally good news hey about time.
cheers

Hi Guys i am very glad to report that putting in some 6.6g rollers tonight things started to work. After warming up i gave it some WOT and i could see that the vario started to work and in turn opened the rear clutch disks up too, which i am very pleased about.Now i have to look at the carb again as with a max jet of 90 i am still far too rich as…[Lees meer]

mmmmmm strange why i’m getting all these issues then.
Oh well will have to keep trying.
many thanks
Giuseppe

Ok Niek i got the red triangles on anyway but just thought i would check.
Hi Edjuh no i never used the plastic bit as i was told was not necessary.
I will try and use a heavier roller combination tonight and see how it goes.
i’m gonna try 6.6’s and 7.6’s tonight as last night i only tried the 6.1’s.
Did you guys have these issues also when…[Lees meer]

no problem.
I was intending on taking some pictures this weekend and then i will post them up for you to look at.
I take it the black vario front plate can only go on one way can’t it ? in other words i don’t think you can fit it wrong.
Do those red things have to be installed, i got them on now but i suppose can try without if possible…[Lees meer]

Hi Guys
Just to update on the matter.
I replaced the rollers with heavier weights last night and even though the engine sounds better shall we say the vario still does not open, i have tried all sorts last night.
Took the clutch off checked everything all is good, cleaned up the bronze bus inside the clutch and lightly oiled it to make sure the…[Lees meer]

excellent Niek.

that’s what i wanted to hear.
I didn’t really be wanting to buy yet another set of rollers if it’s not required.
for test rollers to last so long possibly due to the covers protecting them.
i’m happy now.
cheers
Giuseppe

lovely niek.
thanks for clarifying that.
yes it is the TEST kit shall we say.
hopefully once i get this sorted then i’m going to have to buy some proper rollers to fit.
why would these need covers to fit Niek ? what’s the reason for that would you know.
cheers
Giuseppe

Hi Niek

i have had it on the stand revving it but still nothing and i rode it for a bit no change.
it gives me good take off speed but that’s it doesn’t variate.
what do you think i should get heavier rollers ? i thought that 5.1g’s would be fine on a 75cc.
i didn’t put the 4.7g ones on because i thought they were too light.
PLEASE ADVISE…[Lees meer]

Hi Guys
I took the variator off tonight and all seems to be well with the fitting, with the malossi belt off it also slides across the crank arm nicely.When i put the belt back on then it doesn’t variate.
The clutch disks are also fine as they are quite tough to open so i can’t see the problem is there, multivar definitely not working as it’s…[Lees meer]

Hi Tnerul

yes i understand exactly what you mean on the subject.
i think the problem will lye with the variator for sure not variating at all which is what seems to be the case with mine.
I would be curious to find out from someone what the solution is – maybe to buy a new one ?
If i find everything is fitted correctly which i’m sure it is…[Lees meer]

Tnerual

i think you are correct in what you are saying, i heard some problems with the multivar wish i got the polini now.
i will take it off tonight just to check it’s installed properly and sliding well and if it still doesn’t variate i will speak to the shop i bought it from.
mine tends to stay in high gear will find out tonight.
thanks…[Lees meer]

ok while i have the vario off tonight i will check the disks also.
i don’t think my rollers are light do you ?
Giuseppe

ok no problem.
if it variates when the variator moves then i best check that first.
do i need to move the disk with the belt in place or without it.
thanks again
Giuseppe

thank you for the link my friend as mine definitely doesn’t do that.
i will check the vario again to see that all is well with it.
on what throttle opening would they open like that, i don’t want to go made on the accelerator as i have to run it in you see.
many thanks
Giuseppe

hello guys
the rollers i have are 5.1g fitted until i run it in – do you guys think 5.1g are light then ?
oh excuse me guys i thought the vario housing could be moved by hand but obviously not then, yes the belt is sitting 1mm above the disks so that seems to be fitted correctly even though worn somewhat already.
if i prise the rear disks with…[Lees meer]

the proper oil to use is 80/90 gear oil.
