Joe's Typhoon 172 Project =D

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

yeh, coz you're definately the sort of person to leave something stock.

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

i just bought heat resistant black paint to spray my engine

just gunna sand the case's down to key into it and then spray

i supose at the end of the day its up to you what you do with your cases most leave them standered
i wouldnt powdercoat it cause it does get pretty hot
:good:

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

polishing probably is the best look with the least cons,

ht paint is usually matt, so dont go with gloss pans as well.

powder coating looks good, but is expensive to take a risk with....

cant go wrong with a good old polish tho i guess

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

ive hammerite'd a few sets of cases inc my old 25bhp engine and theyve all been fine

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

RARSE! ent updated this for shit lol, well moved along way from fitting the engine together :lol:

ok erm, got the engine together fine all good (in my room)





then it got banged into the typh, with new exhaust fresh rear wheel and shock





Started it up for about 10mins at low revs then done the procedure for runing it in



the next day it wouldent start and i tried 3 carbs 21mm 20.5 28mm
none of them had any luck so i checked the cylinder to see if it was ok, it was fine thank god, i now think its excess 2T in the cases but cant flush it out without a kick start/elecy

pics of how it is standing now





just need a new kick start mechanism that works and ill try agen, and update you guys soon

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

now that ive read it properly its deffinatley the plug, get a new one should be fine.. this always happens to me when i fit a kit or whatever because of the 2stroke you rub all over the piston.

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

getting 3 new plugs tomorrow, then kick start off you

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

Minnors post has just put a fat smile on my face. Been doing some research today and came over a post...

""as for running a 172 on a stock pipe, yes, LOADS of them, don't be ignorant and assume nobody runs them, i LOVE stock pipes on 172's as again it lasts longer, doesent generate nearly the heat of a pm pipe and you get lots of power/torque at any rpm you like. more riudable/wheelyable and last forever.

one of my old typhoons was a 172/25mm carb/gears and crank on a stock runner pipe. pissed on most things, went up hills better than a piped up bike and generally returned bettere fuel econimy and i could ride it for hours on end. wheely machine...""

:cheers: :amen: :rotfl: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

Got a 25mm on there now, still waiting on my lightened flywheel (coming shortly) after that ill be using it for comuting around for a while.

when i get my money back on top ill be buying a better exhaust (maybe when i go london on the 12th feb)

ill update you soon with vids of the 25mm on and running
