Digital Speedo on da Cheap

Since I've been traveling further distances with my Puch in Japan, I needed an odometer to keep track of my mileage (or in my case kilometers).  I also needed to keep track of my speeds since in Japan, the law states the max speed your allowed to go depends on your engine's displacement.  I registered my Maxi as a 75cc because of my Gila kit.  So I'm allowed to go a maximum speed of 60 km/h.  That's only 37.28 mph!!!  If I registered it as a 50cc, I would only be allowed to go a maximum speed of 30 km/h (18.64 mph)!!!

...Progress

Japanese local Soma-san and I (aka Kuri-san) blast through city and mountain roads to Miyagase Dam in Kanagawa, Japan.  Armed with Soma's kitted Malossi Honda MB5 and my Gila Puch Maxi, we make our way to a popular gathering spot for modified bikes and cars.  Enjoy the journey:

Two-Stroke Carb Tuning

Fun or Frustrating?

A necessity of 'two-strokin' is carburetor tuning.  There are many ways to tune a carb.  Whether it be trial and error, smelling (or even tasting) the exhaust smoke, or using the "Force", most experienced tuners developed their own methods that works for them.  For me, I use a similar method from a post I found where it breaks down the two-stroke jetting process.  Probably many of you already read it but I think its worth posting cause it's a good start for a novice in developing their own method of tuning:

Future Meltdown Prevention

Cool but not so cool

To prevent future meltdowns of my Powerdynamo stator coil, I wanted to provide air cooling/circulation in the magneto compartment.  I didn't what to simply run the motor without the magneto cover because it would expose the magneto to outside elements.  I also prefer the overall look of the motor with the cover on.

Back In Business!!!

I'm back up and running!!!  Got my new Powerdynamo stator coil from TreatsHq (in no time I might add).  Get ready Japan streets...

Power On!
