1980 Puch Maxi W/ZA50. Since the motor needs a complete teardown/rebuild I am thinking about adding some performance. Can the transmission handle a big bore kit with all the trimmings; ie carb, intake, port matching, pipe?

Can you guys with "Bullit Proof" performance builds give me an idea of what you are running? Bore kit size/make, Carb size/make/jet#, and performance pipe. I'm wanting to make more top speed. This is my first attempt to work on a motor so I'm less inclined to go really big on the bore. I hear they require some crank case modification.

. . . though if people would be willing to put down what they're running on their z50's, and what the results have been (as has been done in the wiki for the e50's), i know i and a lot of other people would really appreciate it! no equivalent thread exists, as far as i've found.

please!

I just started working on my ZA50. I am new to mopeds, definitely not a tuner. I wanted more top end, but wanted a setup for an everyday rider. I consulted Nate and Zack Bandit who were very helpful. I'm now in the process of putting on a 65cc metrakit with a 50cc high comp head, Delorto 15.15, and an Estoril pipe. Hopefully more people will post, I'd like to see what other folks are working with
