Converting a 50cc engine to a 125. Can it be done?

Ok... i just put a polini 70cc kit on my 50cc vespa.

is it possible to get a bigger engine again....
ie a 125kit, replacing the crank, conrod, and driveline gear with aftermarket stuff?

does this make sense, and is it possible?

 

cool....so easy answer - no.

yep 2nd hand piaggio engines are rare as here.

so is 70cc the biggest i can go with my current setup?

 

i could buy a crate of xxxx direct from its motherland, then decide i dont want them, only i could slap a piaggio 125 lump in the mix as well?

for a large price

 

hehe im not that keen for an extra 10cc.... too much work.

might consider a rebore when its up for a rebuild.
there are other things i need first.... like pipe, aftermarket variator and bigger carb.

 

i dont follow.....

 

yep.... reverse style pipes are pretty much ruled out.

what type of carb would you use for this setup?

 

21mm are easy to setup and are what most people opt for when tuning 70's.
However if your looking to go all out a 25mm is the other option!

 

haha i meant fosters! sorry!

basically we could smuggle you a 125 lump over, and make you a very happy person indeed!

 

thanks man.... i still want reliability and ridablility... i do over 30kms a day.
so 21mm is the way to go.....
malossi? or other?

ill be doing this when i get the exhaust and variator.

 

ahhh you mean beer
i thought you were into some really kinky scooter porn or something hehe.

i can arrange a couple cartons of xxxx or fosters if you can arrange a 125 engine hehe. thats a fair swap....right?

 

malossi is probably your best bet, but have a look around..

 

haha, sounds good to me :w00t:

 

I went for the malossi 21mm, I wish I'd gone for the Dellorto black edition, looks cool and it has the drian plug in the bottom, other than that I can't see any difference between that and the malossi 21mm.

the Malossi 21mm is made by dellorto, I did not know that before i bought it, just though I'd get everything malossi for my scoot and keep it the same.

 

hehe.... so when can i expect the engine

 

more importantly when can i expect my beer!

 

hehe .... good point.

how much would freight be for a couple cartons?
