MOPED ARMY

Me...but beyond that, I dunno, basic shop manual should work, if you can find one.

Tougher than most bikes...gotta dismount the trans, disconnect and pull the carb to get to it, but if you really, really know what yer doin it's an 8-10 minute job...#49-#53 is reccomended.

Some..pain in the ass, but that's the price of power, yannow.

Best make REAL sure you have an A5 Engine afore you try it.

Not really, tho Mopedjunkyard comes closest...I reccomend Cheng Shin tires.

Use Fred's guide...it's the best, hands-down.

Anythin Tomos specific...howl and I will get to it sooner or later.

The "A35" Engine is a misnomer, actually...one of the only screwups Tomos ever made, but man it was a doozie.

A3 Engine - Hexagonal Cylinder, 38mm Piston, 10mm Gudgeon Pin, Shorter Piston arm/stroke....Slightly longer transmission.

A5 Engine - Square Cylinder, 38mm Piston, 12mm Gudgeon Pin, Longer Piston arm/stroke....smaller transmission.

Originally Tomos had (apparently) planned to mate the A5 engine to the A3 Trans or vice versa, and all the damn documentation is labelled "A35", even some of the stickers on the mopeds themselves....but no "A35"s were ever in fact, built.

It's either an A3 or an A5...and best make sure it's an A5 (square cylinder) before trying to mount the kit, or it's an invitation to disaster.

You could mount the kit to an A3, but you'd have to replace the stock pistonarm assembly with one from an A5 to do it.

Hope that helps some.

Oh...and if the kit just kinda makes you concerned....you could try getting the 38.5mm Overbore cylinder, piston and rings....Tomos does make em, don't let any sales clerk tell ya different, cause I used the 38.5's with all my old A3's.

Wayne, I can almost guarantee that it's an A5, from my little knowledge about Tomos peds. I think the A3 was only used up until about the early 90's maybe, before the targas and sprints, when they were the "Bullet". But like I said I know little about these machines so don't take my word for it. Hope this helps.
