    The modification you did is part of what is called blueprinting.
    You make good power just blueprinting a motor.

    Any more progress?
    I'm thinking about taking a road trip to Croatia this summer. I keep seeing things from there and it looks amazing. Like today I saw a picture of a spomenik, (that's probably spelt wrong?).

    I was on a leave and didn't do anything for a while. Ill try to make some progress this week.

    Its spelled correctly, but "spomenik" is our general word for monument. :) I support your trip to Croatia, you wont be disappointed. The coast is amazing, highways too :)

    I'm in on that. Well I would be if my passport hadn't expired and I didn't have to pay 85 squid for a new one. Bleeding rip off if you ask me. It's not the money it's principle. Correction: it IS the money AND the principle :mad:

    Bitch please.
    My passport is out of date, and I don't even live in the UK, I'm thinking about getting Norwegian citizenship instead, but then my son will loose his chance for cheap education in the UK if that makes sense.
    Plus if there is a no deal brexit every time I travel into another EU country I would need a visa...
    Urghhhh..
    It's funny how vague the info is on brexit, like the EU don't know and the UK don't know either, can't they just do rock paper scissors over the deal?

    I know, the whole Brexit thing sucks. They should toss a coin - heads no Brexit, tails no Brexit :p

    I have some issues with carburetor because on this version, oil intake is without valve and oil leaks when scooter is not running. I needed to replace for one with valve.

    Also, I replaced engine damper for a new one.

    Why you even vote for brexit? I know that you are in much better position than we or any other poor country like mine, but I do like that I can travel without passport, buy in european shops without additional tax etc etc. I know that its not everything perfect but I dunno. On other hand, you vote for exiting, why you expect that rest of EU would be mild towards you?
    I would like to hear opinion from yours side.

    I was in Austria when we had the vote result here.
    The hotel owners said they were waiting to see what happens to the UK before thinking of getting out themselves.
    Same in Holland, same in Italy.

    I didn't vote to leave.
    It's mostly assholes who have never travelled who voted out.
    A lot of people don't like the EU, but disbanding from it is wrong, they should express their voices to the EU parliament, that's how diplomacy works.

    Great to see progress.
    Can't wait to see this project finished

    Managed to assemble engine and crank it up for the first time. I didn't assemble cooling yet so engine run only for 20 seconds.



    Excessive smoke is due to +33% oil pump in conjunction with 3% premixed oil and petrol.


    Im in love with that sound and Im sooo happy that I manage to turn it on for the first time.
