I appreciate your videos. Sometimes go to Fort Myers on vacation cycle up the West Coast. But I live in Ohio. Nice job at the end, putting it in a lathe and angling it down.

Nice work. For extra credit, you can CC the combustion chamber to give you a firmer idea of the volume. It might be interesting to know the cylinder pressure, too. It might be nice to make a thin stainless template to check the heads to make sure the reliefs are all the same, without guesswork, kind of a go-nogo gauge.

Hi quality video great job pete

thanks,pete.

I love Mopeds. Salute

That is one huge advantage of mopeds over scooters. So damn easy to get to everything! Takes me longer to remove the plastics on my TGB to even get to the head than it does to replace a piston or put a big bore kit on. Had to actually remove the motor/cvt on a China scooter to put a bbk on it. Giant pain in the ass!

You need also a Bing 15 ml carb and a Bos demper for lower resistance a top speed, changing sprockets. Then you talk about speed of about 75 km. Also nice to try is a Malossi or Polini cylinder.If you son't want to modify your cylibder head, you can also use an extra gasket to prevent damage piston on your cylinder head. It will lower the comoression a little bit, but better safe then sorry..... This was my experience more than 40 years ago...... For a automatic mooed, as fast as hell.

The Moroni options are all over the place. There is a change in the cases somewhere in the early 80’s... and depending on which engine you have the kits available may or may not fit easily (the cylinder skirt doesn’t clear)

Thanks for the tutorial. The Spanish "Malossi" ... Metrakit. Seen quite a few impressive bikes running MetraKit. Why do you think that they started in Spain, developed their brand largely appealing to Spanish pride and patriotism, then pulled up stumps and moved most of their production to Italy?

I recall people saying it may be due to the cold intake and hot exhaust gases deforming the aluminum cylinder, leading to the ring being pushed out into the fairly large exhaust port. Could also be due to imperfect timing, but who knows.. I just know that I didn't have enough money to figure it out! Lol.

Should you chamfer the ports?

Looks from here like you are eyeballing the squish clearance! What number were you aiming for. Turning the motor over & hearing no contact is no guarantee of dynamic clearance when the rod and wrist pin stretch in operation. Too generous squish clearance will degrade the speed at which unburnt fuel/air mixture is pumped in, to feed the flame front and scavenge the cylinder in the ex cycle.

@larsvalk855

Yes. Otherwise is the spark too late with igniting the gasoline and air mixture. So what happens is that the mixture is igniting while the piston is already on its way down. So you would have to take kickstart pedal or left pedal of. Then you remove the cover. There are 3 bolts holding it in place. When the cover is off, you can see the flywheel. You need to unscrew the nut and take the flywheel off with a flywheel puller. When that's off, you can see the coil. To the left are 2 lines and on the coil is a dent. You need to losen up 2 little bolts that are holding the coil in place. Then rotate the coil to where the dent lines up with the upper line. Then, put everything back together and test your bike. The spark plug is now sparking sooner so the mixture will ignite when the piston is at the highest point.
