    hi all

    firstoff love the boards and nice to be here :pimp:

    i have a 51 plate 50cc piaggio zip i brouht the other day , it all runs fine but i have just got hold of a zip 125cc engine, isit actually possible to swap my 50 engine for the 125 engine

    would it just slide right in , so to speak??

    didnt realise ther was such thing as a zip125 engine but dont go ahead till some one else says sumin but how it worked with 50 typhs when you shove a 125 engine in was you had to grind the mounts by about 5mm but as i said wait till some one who knows for definate as ive never played with a zip

    125 zip engine .thought they only did 4 st zip 125 engines m8 but if u mean a runner 125 or typh the mounts need grinding slighty then theres full loom to match the new engine wich will need swithes n plugs swapping then theres the fact its illegal n ull need to upgrade breaks ect to make it legal n reg as a 125
    hope this helps
