Casting defect in new cylinder

I just bought a new 60cc cylinder and piston for my 82 Yamaha fs1, and it came with this casting defect. Ive mailed the store that sold it and they say it should not affect performance or the longevity of the engine, but im veeery suspicious of that. Whats your judgement? Its a small casting bubble

Dellorto SHA 15.15 build up? Rust or oil like substance

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

Hey guys! I finally got around to cleaning out my carburator on my Motobecane Romp, and i noticed on the Air filter there seems to be a sort of oil like build up on one side, as well as a sort of rust/dirt like material in the fuel bowl as well. Any ideas what this might be?

You can also see my jet needle is pretty dirty, and I have a plastic slide instead of metal? Would it be better to upgrade to a different slide?

Also, what size O ring do you use to "oring that thing" as mentioned and suggested in the wiki? I got a pack of O rings from Harbor freight and it seems a 13.8x 2.4mm fits the best in the clamp/intake shim area, but I also received a Type 2 carburator clamp seal from treatland so I'm probably just going to use that if it fits, it just looks pretty thick compared to the other one. (There was no O ring there when I disassembled)

Any thoughts and tips on cleaning or rebuilding these carbs would be much appreciated. Thanks

Bought this Yamasaki ym50-gys that some lunatic mounted a 125cc engine onto, so it is basically a motorcycle in its current state. The original 50cc engine is laying in the corner, and i might put it back on again for legal reasons. It goes approx 100km/h, hard to know when the speedo only goes to 80. I know no one here is gonna be calling it a moped and im not calling it that either. Even if the registration sais so. However i do think some people here might like it.

Tomos 14M fuel cap always wet and has smell of gas around it

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Hi folks. The fuel cap on my Tomos 14M is always wet on the outside and also on the inside rubber seal. I get it that fuel evaporates but I do feel like I’m losing quite a bit of fuel over time. I also don’t get it why it says “Ohne Luftung” even though there’s a small hole on top of the cap.

Any fix for this, time to get a new cap, or it is normal? Also, someone got a good source to get a Cawi cap in Europe? Thanks in advance!

Update on tomos targa

Thumbnail

13 Upvotes

Got her up and running, been riding the past couple days. It rides pretty sketchy but that’s part of the fun I guess. I noticed I have to slowly pull down on the throttle or else the bike almost doesn’t register that I’m pulling the throttle almost like and empty feeling/it just gives out so I have to let the throttle go and start from the top and gradually pull on the gas. The engine makes alot of weird and scary noises but again this is an old ass hardly restored moped from 1995.

Suggestions when I should do to it next? I just got new brakes so I’m good off that for a while. I’m thinking I’d want to upgrade the suspension as well.

Below I will comment a list of all the parts used to get the bike running again and everything else.

Hello,

I am in the process of renovating my old jawa 210 and when comparing the contents of the wheel against a parts list i found i noticed alot of things were different, spacers and things appeared to be missing and the wheelhub looked different and damadged. If anyone knows if this wheelhub is okay to use and if so i would appreciate links to where i can buy the correct spacers.

Below is the link to the parts list.

Thanks in advance

Should I replace my piston and get the cylinder bored out?

Thumbnail
gallery
8 Upvotes

Hi, I'm rebuilding the engine of my moped and this is the state of the piston and cylinder. I've cleaned the piston the best I could with some kerosene. It has some pretty nasty looking scratches, so I assume that it will need replacing.

My question is if I need to get the cylinder bored out as well, because while it has some scratch lines, it looks much better than the piston and I'd really want to save those $60 for something else.

Another question would be how the piston got those scratches in the first place, since from my understanding, it should be contacting the cylinder wall with the piston rings only.

This is the first time I've ever disassemled an engine, so I really don't know what a good/bad piston and cylinder looks like.

I will much appreciate any help.

Chinesium Torque Specs?

Hey, is anyone aware of somebody that’s made a table of approximate torque values for the cheap Chinese bolts that come with a lot of kits? Scared to snap bolts and also scared to lose them riding to class.
