MOPED ARMY

Hi never kitted aynthing but if I did I would port and pollish and perhaps have everything balanced, I do not know if this can be done with a moped engine but it is the shit for car engines!

i know devin will rebuild it and make it amazing, he did the same to my friends ZA50. i guess if it comes down to it thats what i'll do. i really want to do it myself though. teach a man to fish and all, you know?

Davey, you may just be better off sending it to Devin. My understanding is a ZA50 is not something you just want to dive into. When mine blows up, I'm either throwing an E50 on or making a trip to Elkhart.

nevermind. just found it. evaporust! lets see what it can do.

take it apart and put it all back together with in the tolerances if u can find them

I'm going to have to rebuild my za50 over the winter. I've been reading up a bit and have found a few references so far to 'special tools'.

I discovered that I literally could not repair my bmw motorcycle engine, despite a very well stocked workshop and quite a bit of background in mechanics. There were just a few too many instances where you could not go forward withoug BMW special tool number blah, blah.

Is this true of the ZA50? I've got lots of tools. Drawers full of pullers, ring pliers, expanders, a small hydraulic press, a small lathe, a tig welder (to make tools when all else fails).

Is there a Puch special tool number blah, blah, that I will not be able to work around (besides the flywheel puller. I already know I need to buy one of those).

Yes Davey Do it! I rebuilt a za50 with basic tools, even got the bearings out of the cover. It worked fine stock though I wouldn't want to kit it.

Then I bought a spare za50 and had devin build it and it's so much better. New shift pucks, bearings, gaskets, seals, perf conrod, well worth the money and piece of mind it was done right. He even built a special riser for the intake. So tight and awesome.

you're on your own getting it back together. good luck,

There are lot of special tools to measure the tolerances, if your planning on doing it yourself be ready to spend some money on puch specific tools.

I couldn't have rebuilt mine with out devin and chad burke.

yeah colin. yours is badass. thats what made me think of doing it. fuck it, once i have cash its going to devin.

plus i have a spare that i can fuck with all i want. have devin get one going, destroy one myself. america.

and when its all done you can watch the bearing come flying out of the side cover or the flywheel going faster down the road then you are going ,why waste the money when you can make an e50 go faster then the za50 will ever go

I'm about to rebuild a ZA50 with a 65cc Metrakit and a Metrakit perf ormance rod pressed in to the crank. I'm sure I'll run into a couple of problems, but I'm mildly intelligent and resourceful. I think as long as I'm meticulous about clearances and tolerances I will be okay. The gear dampeners do concern me, though. I have a spare engine but if anyone knows a way to make new dampeners, please share. I think someone said they used urethane, like the rhino stuff sprayed in truck beds.

I'm gonna JB weld mine.
