Are we comparing pears with apples here: A Maxi vs a Pinto, Biturbo vs Proma Circuit , 14mm Bing vs 15mm, Fairings vs naked. This can get all very subjective if we start talking also about colors and grades of shades. LOLWhy is the pinto doing 38? maybe because I'm breaking in it and I don't want to be aggressive with my jetting yet. My mix is still rich and my temp 290 and I wanted th

Wow, That is a big statement there about "nothing but problems".Mr roffman.Who would not expect to have problem when you buy a neglected moped with over 40 years. It is not a secret that I had some problems, there is a whole thread on the performance page there is nothing to hide. Here is. https://mopedarmy.com/forums/read.php?7,4440197Thankfully there were other fellow member that actu

Update. Moped is running very good, thanks to all you guys and your valuable pieces of information.Did a good test run on Saturday. 38 Mph top speed on flats (GPS)Max temp 290°Main jet 70 and second notch from bottom.Take off is still slow and still Bogs downs a little but it got way better. I'll keep playing with the needle, perhaps make it richer.WOT it's good I'm guessing it is a

Hi Dirty30, Thank you for you thoughts.The kit is the50cc tccd, It took me a lot of work but the system seems to be airtight , no leaks at all. The filter is the metal hi flow you mighty see it in the pictures. The bottom end remain stock. I totally agree with you with the Main jet an the needle.Should I try maybe 68-70 for main and first notch.? What should be a typical idle adjustment? can thi
Carlos Campi — 2 years ago
Totally Agree Jay I have plans to do a plug chop this weekend. I would try maybe with a smaller main jet and the 1st notch.

Jay, big update, Pretty much restored everything and finish the pinto the way I wanted in raw metal (picture attached).But it's still runs poorly... I'm very frustrated though. The thing bogs down on take off and it is super slow so I have to work with the throttle so much until something in between 1/2-2/3 throttle where it seems to rev fine and the pipe hit like a mule. Some times al

Jay I soaked Gasket in oil this time... So I'm not sure what else to do in order to get rid of the freaking air leak. Double gasket maybe?

By the way, My timing setup is stock at 17° BTDC, not sure if I need to change it to help with the extra ports. I also I discovered the Spark Plug Boot was not fitted right so that will be sure my hesitation problem in my second test run.

Hi Guys. Long story short, ended up adding the 6 ports 48cc cylinder and piston from Treats. Change to black springs flush with Synt 10w30.First run with #72 main 2,17 and 3rd noch from top was lame. It bog down at 1/2 throttle and take of was worst that before.Not sure why I did some. Stupid reverse thinking. But I changed to #70 and 2nd notch and it's was the worst response ever had hesita
Carlos Campi — 2 years ago
Yes Jay I got the eso black. Not sure how to deglaze but I can google it. But it will be more to deglaze my brakes pads. I think the next upgrade is to make this thing to brake better. Is not all about speed... LOL

Papa, I'm willing to trade longevity by take off anytime. And transmission was wet until Sunday.I can use steel wool. Now should I soak the clutch in oil before putting it back again?
Carlos Campi — 2 years ago
Hi, guys, here are the pictures of the clutch. Lucky me I have a two shoes.It has some rust but it looks good what do ya think?I'm guessing that using evaporust won't be a good idea for the pads right.Any extra advice to install the new springs? I got the black ones.
Carlos Campi — 2 years ago
Great pieces of advice guys thank you. New Parts are one they way to rebuild top end and tune the clutch, on the mean wile I'll keep derusting parts. I hope to share some progress soon.Best.
Carlos Campi — 2 years ago
All good points thank you. Air leaks are a pain to get rid off indeed so I'm getting a temp gauge to be safe.The firs thing I did was to put a O-ring and clamp the intake to the carb with some pressure. But still got some air leaks on the intake connection to the intake head port. I did not know by then that the gasket had to be soaked in oil (Now I do it it that way).I also was running with

Thank you all that was fast. A fellow member already hooked me up with one.This thread can be closed now!

You can't tell from the pictures but it was in several spots... 4 or 5. =)

Seized my JCPenny Cylinder. So please DM if any of you guys have a spare that's taking too much space in your garage.
Carlos Campi — 2 years ago
100% agree with you all Papa and Jay. I want to keep messing with cheap stock cylinder before stepping up. So I'll ask on the B/SJay thank you for you kind offer. I just got a new Proma Circuit and I love the Chainsaw sound so I would rather stick with it.What I need to understand is why it seized. I remember driving to do some plugs readings at WOT and the bike stopped like..."when It

Carlos Campi — 2 years ago
Took apart my top engine to discover that it was seized!I thought my plug color was healthy but not...Somebody said once "good lessons cost money right"?My plan was to do some mild porting and tune the clutch but now I'm stuck in here and not sure what to do next. It seems that the piston seized and some material melted on the the cylinder. Can that be fixed with the Dremel tool.??
Carlos Campi — 2 years ago
True. Let me keep my expectations low and see how much gain I'm able to get with a mild porting. That experience will for sure help if I add a kit in the future.

> Jay Rivett Wrote:> -------------------------------------------------------> Once you start getting into clutch tuning the shit starts getting real.> Real annoying. Ha!LOL ... Shit. I'm also overwhelmed reading about mild porting the stock cylinder.I wish I could get maybe 40-45 Mph top and a decent take off with the stock cylinder. That's it, I don't need more...
Carlos Campi — 2 years ago
Thank you Thomas.Now I'm wondering ... What are the pros of Synthetic oil? And also is 10W30 good for a very a very hot weather like South Florida?
Carlos Campi — 2 years ago
wait!!!. Jay that means that the 2 shoes are sturdier that the 3???
Carlos Campi — 2 years ago
O.k. sounds like a plan I'll be back in a couple of weeks with the pictures of the clutch.
Carlos Campi — 2 years ago
Agree. Jay I've been looking also the blue springs. But I think the black as you said are better. Now that I'll have to remove the clutch, should I also add new shoes and a brace? Can't seem to find a good one.Thank you all for your answers.
Carlos Campi — 2 years ago
Yes a little on the lean side for a two strokes I guess.
