    copied from a diffrent forum i go on couldnt be bothered to write it all out again

    bought this runner on saturday in bits with the water pump gone and a screen cracked and not knowing if a few bits and bobs was missing.

    So today my friend stripped it and checked it all over and its all good , also came with malossi belt.and the reeds have had something done to them , the metal bits have been bent out more or something.
    turns out that its missing 2 lenses, oil cable was cut the top of carb damaged and exhaust looked abit scruffy, also turns out that whoever had it before me had stripped it to change bearings and left a bolt out next to waterpump when putting cases back together so that was the leak.So i got a runner 125 for £150 needing oil cable 2 lenses and a top of carb.
    i also fixed my screen as a temporary mesure just needs a polish now

    that means that a friend of mine got his pm 55 copied it and made me a exhaust that does exactly the same as a pm pipe does.

    well he made templates of the cones using paper then cut all the metal to shape of the templates he rolled it using mole grips and a few other choice tools and then welded it up
