Dutchy 2932 Posted Monday at 05:19 PM While I now have to wait for my tag, was busy today safety wiring a few nuts and bolts as "vibrator" may be her 2nd name..... 150cc 50's engine, as expected I guess... Note that this is NOT up to USAF/NASA spec, but one deals with the holes presented.... Had the engine running for a wee while, rode up and down the close; then the engine started to run like shyte. Misfiring, poor throttle response.... But, better now than late at night on the Bridge between Denmark and Sweden I guess.... @keny Can you guess from this picture what caused it? The points are directly wired to the battery and it worked fine so far.. all will be revealed here.......... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dutchy 2932 Posted Wednesday at 06:39 PM Registration complete - CHECK Period correct plate made - CHECK Liability insurance (€36/yr) - CHECK 1st shake down run - CHECK Carter vent - FAIL All in a day's work I guess Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dutchy 2932 Posted Thursday at 08:07 AM Main culprit is the piston rings, causing too much pressure inside the carter.... to be continued! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
