So, those of you that have built custom intakes, what did you use for the base that bolts onto the engine?
Something new? An old Intake?
Post a picture or tell me your story, I want to know.
Custom 19mm Intakes, Puch.
Re: Custom 19mm Intakes, Puch.
use your old exaust header. it should work fine.
Re: Custom 19mm Intakes, Puch.
I make intakes for puchs and minarelli's and moby's. I start off with 1/4" aluminum plate. with the appropriate mounting holes and a 1/4" hole in the center. Then 6061 alum tubing is welded to the base, the quarter inch hole is then opened and matched to the jug...
Re: Custom 19mm Intakes, Puch.
made own
Re: Custom 19mm Intakes, Puch.
Tom I will make you one . Is it for the K-star kit ? What carb are you planning on a 19 dell phbg? Maybe an old exhaust header will be a good start . Or fab from scratch if it will be better .Call me and or send a pic of the intake port.
Re: Custom 19mm Intakes, Puch.
flat, weldable steel. I think my friend often uses foundation washers and cuts them down. Its not pretty but it works well.
Re: Custom 19mm Intakes, Puch.
rick! I want to take you up on this, but I want to be there and learn as we go, maybe play along and break your mig aswell! I have access to a welder at school with my freetime I'd like to be able to do moped stuff
Re: Custom 19mm Intakes, Puch.
Ohhhhhh Yeahhhhh its on like donkey kong now !!!
Lets Do This Sunday . Or whenever . Holla.
Re: Custom 19mm Intakes, Puch.
Stock Puch exhaust headers are close to perfect. They need a little grinding and that's it.
Re: Custom 19mm Intakes, Puch.
All the better quick ,cheap, easy ,
Re: Custom 19mm Intakes, Puch.
Don't have any stock Puch headers :/ this is my first Puch and I built from the ground up.
Oops!
Re: Custom 19mm Intakes, Puch.
Yeahhh And I bet Mark is fresh out of them too. Lol Jk Ask him to part with one . Mine is pretty bent or you could have it.
Re: Custom 19mm Intakes, Puch.
After you grind off your header, how do you attach it to your carb? Do you just you radiator hose and clamps?
Re: Custom 19mm Intakes, Puch.
You got it., depending on the type of carb you be runnin'.
Re: Custom 19mm Intakes, Puch.
Okay. What about something that fits a 17mm Bing? My Puch header is not the correct diameter . What do you use for that? Tried copper tubing; too small.
Re: Custom 19mm Intakes, Puch.
I use stock A3 Tomos exhaust headers for my 16mm SHA. I had to make an aluminum ring to get it sealed right. It might work for a 17mm too.
Re: Custom 19mm Intakes, Puch.
How did you make that aluminum ring? I have considered (but not executed) numerouse ideas for making "something" work, but none of them seemed that workable, to be honest. I tried a Puch header, but it was much smaller than the ID of the carb (uncomfortably smaller, from the standpoint of vibration). I was trying not to need to buy a 17mm Puch intake from Europe and burden myself with the mailing costs.
Re: Custom 19mm Intakes, Puch.
There's puch stock headers on Treats at the moment, in case anyone cares to know :)
Re: Custom 19mm Intakes, Puch.
made my own intake, used exhaust flange. maybe get some pics up of it soon.
