Area 51

Anyone know if there's an uprated water pump, or am I best going electric?

 

Well, I've ordered a pump kit, so I hope it solves my cooling problems!??
Anyone know if there's a step by step guide here? I've done a search but no luck. And looking at the pack I doubt there's instructions. Is it an easy job??

 

Sorry I've not posted peeps! I did the water pump, turns out it was simple to do!
Had trouble since I got it with starting, wouldn't go first kick/press, it nearly had me beat! But I fitted a new battery, and removed and stripped the carb, cleaned & blown out, then rebuilt. Now starts first time, every time! Seems a bit more peppy too! (bonus)
Today I drained the oil out of the gearbox and put some nice fresh 80w90 in, (you should see the colour of the gunk that came out! Green sludge! Eww) but it says 110cm2 on the case, which don't seem like a lot to me? Looked at other sites (sorry) and they recon 125ML ??? But again don't sound a lot!? I put in 125ml, but you'd think you would top up to the filler whole, (bit like a diff on a 4x4) what you guys and girls think??

 

Also saving the beer tokens up to buy some goodies, what you think?? Any recommendations??

The Stage6 Streetrace 70cc kit is (cast iron kit)

Tecnigas Trek or Artek K1 ???

Polini 6 or Polini 9 roller variator kit or Doppler S2BR ???

polini 17.5mm carburettor sports or foam filter.

Polini gear kit.

 

Can anyone identify the forks as used by wobbly on his 51?

I'm looking to junk the...err...junk on the front of mine, much as I love the look of a swing arm, I've had a few abnormal "moments", so want rid.

I've tried searching for a link to his build,but can't find it!? Anyone help?

 

6 months since my last post!!! Where did that go!? Still riding the old girl seeing as the snow ain't arrived yet! But soon as it does, it's into the workshop and rebuild time!
Not sure weather to do a total strip down to the frame or a partial engine/box, what you guys think? Is it wise to redo the loom ect while I'm in bits given the age of the scooter?

 

Yer, that was my thinking mate.

 

your photos are not showing up by the way... any chance of having them back up if you are gonna start again on the ped? Love the 51 and wd quite like to see what you are doing to it

 

Yer I'll try and post them up mate, if not I'll take some more before I start!
