Random Updates

Some random stuff I shared over on Instagram recently. Follow me at #mopedluau

ZA50 clutches for my Puch No. 5 project

Got my extra set of ZA50 clutches and replaced the springs and links similar to what I did here:

ZA50 Power
Started the tear down on my cousin's Pinto. Next stage is paint.

I need a new coat
Frame is so minimal

Parts from Puchhop.de in Neatherlands

In the meantime, ordering parts like crazy for my cousin's build. Couldn't pass up the strong dollar and week euro. On top of that a 10% discount Easter sale!! Got new black powder coated stars, 260mm shocks, and a HK racing clutch!!

Dutchland express
Oh Yeah!!
Work done by mopedcrankworks.com

Sent my crank and case to mopedcrankworks to get my Top Racing roller bearing con-rod and bearing races pressed in. This is the second crank Chris did for me and it turned out well as usually. Pretty spot on tolerance work. I highly recommend his services. This is going into my Gila ZA50 Puch No.5 build. Stay tuned for whats to come...

Roll out...
New bearing action!!

Brooks Seat

Ordered a Brooks Seat for my Puch No. 5 builds. The brown leather seat action compliments the leather I bought for handle grips. But these seats are expensive. I might have to chain the seat to my bike!!

Straight from England
B66 Honey baby!!
Honey seat..Honey grips..
Sweet..but not too sweet...

Match porting ZA50 Gila after all these years

Finally got a chance to do my ZA50 Gila right. I've been running this motor with very minimal match porting for years. All I did was port the transfers as big as I could go without compromising the sealing surface on the sides and honed the case to accept the cylinder and piston. That's it!! And I've been blasting around Hawaii and Japan with this set up with no incidents. I finally was able to Alumiweld the sides to add material so I could truly match the sizes of the transfer ports.

Let the port pr0n begin
Ohhhh...
Ahhhh...
Oh yeah...
almost there...
..and the money shot!!!
Ghetto machining

I kind of F-ed up the sealing surface of my case when I added weld. Found a ghetto style from a pretty ghetto dude on Youtube on how to take down high spots without a machine. Surprisingly it work. I got ghetto love...

wesside!!

Happy Tuning...
