Revised the fork. Also installed the Moparts bearing.
There wasn’t any manual with the bearing kit explaining which nuts to keep and washers to use where.
I have a conical nut + washer inside the brake shield atleast.

The brakes have arrived.. 🙂
My first impression is, theese are probably the same as Polini brakes but new color and other package..
So why would I say that?
…Because, the casting on the rear brake says it was manufactured “06”/2006 as from reading this post, @Wilk1985 noticed the same thing with Polini…[Lees meer]

A couple of Pinasco stuff have arrived, will rebuild the fork with brass bushings and front wheel bearings.
Also arrived a 11,5 vario, installes malossi black clutch-springs in it and the yellow pressure spring.

About the Minarelli-Carter, there have been some progress with repairing the mill.. I estimate we can test the mill to see if vibrations…[Lees meer]

Alright, I measured original DR paper gasket to 0,3mm.. Perhaps going for a thicker 0,5 and adjust the squish by grinding the top is the way to go. Are the thinner gaskets prone to break, hence 0,5mm?

Is anyone using gasket for cylinder head?

Do you guys prefer the blue or yellow gasket from JMPB?

Yeah, I’ve thought about paste aswell! Will need to get some 🙂
Do you cut your own gasket? Which paper do you use? To many thicknesses to choose from at JMPB 😀
Wow 62, that was quite low? Sproier database says high 64-68 with 13mm inlaat, well I have SE-carter that would  be similar I guess. Perhaps I should try 64 and B8HS and see how it acts.…[Lees meer]

Didn’t know 67 even existed, thought it was only even numbers.. Have to check that out!

However, in my opinion the engine runs a bit rough, sound of meetal.ticking that one would expect with a expansion uitlaat, with the citypower, also a little bit nervous on the idle.. What do you guys think?
Also I have leakage, probably that’s why I’m…[Lees meer]

Thanks! Sound nice, more like a scooter rather then a tired vespa engine. 🙂
I have ordered one from Italy now.

I haven’t installed them yet, received them last week. So I can’t tell how they perform.
However, the rubber is very soft, so I expect them to have good traction in tarmac, but probably not the best tire in wet conditions because of pattern
I think they will wear out quite quickly, because of softness.
Continental is a premium brand, I don’t think…[Lees meer]

Nice to hear, I searched youtube for a sound check, but didn’t find any.. If you have time and oppertunity I think many people would like to hear that gas reaction. 🙂

How is the engine idle with theese lightweight flywheels? Is it running smooth even though it’s just about 650grams?

Did a small “service” on the daily today.
The brake light switch was broken, found a new one on JMPB, not listed for Ciao, but for Tomos.. But it was the exact same one as original, so I’m happy. 🙂

Also replaced the brake handles, the old ones were rusty..

I tested with a 68 JET today, it felt a little bit stronger on bottom end, but wasn’t…[Lees meer]

Updated, stil searching for parts. 🙂

Installed the Citypower exhaust now, and it pulls alot better now.. Used “Speedometer GPS” APP and it recorded 68,25km/h… I Think the engine would benefit from a lighter flywheel.

The spark have some white spots, I think a 68 sproier would be needed.

A bit rusty inside… Lubricated it a bit with oil and now it runs much nicer.
But I think it would be good to replacesome parts inside of there.

Installed the Original uitlaat instead, had to put some shim-rings in the rear here too, and take a bit longer screw. And then I fired it up and went out for a 7km tour, it performed quite good but it lacks the bottom end power. I hope that the Gianelli exhaust will give a bit more bottom end torque.
I think the original exhaust didn’t really let…[Lees meer]

I tried installing the Gianelli original power, but it touches the gear for the pedals. I think it’s because I have 80mm polie, and the engine should be more in front.

Should the be a distance ring/shim ring on the rear exhaust mount?
