    I have a Doppler S7R 70cc kit that my uncle tried to fit today but it wouldn't fit properly and was 5mm proud of the crank case :banghead:
    Does anyone know any know what the problem could be? Do I need to modify the crank case? :confused:cratch:

    Then he must be doing something wrong. That kit is a direct fit. No case mods needed.

    Please make your topic title relevant.

    my uncle tried to file it down a little but would still not fit :confused:
    He's built and fixed bikes for like 20 years so he wouldn't be doing anything wrong, he just can't understand why it won't fit properly. :confused:cratch:

    Has he built 2 stroke automatic scooters? File what down?

    It should have some sort of base gaskets to set the squish so should have some room to pad it out. Otherwise if it's still not fitting and it's defiantly a piaggio kit then it may be a casting defect or something of the sort. Cheap kits quite often have dodgy finishing.

    Yes he has, as well as geared 2strokes. The kit should just slide on but when he tries he says it's almost like it's hitting something. Any ideas how to solve this issue?

    Look for casting defects on the barrel...
