Build Thread: |

Current Mods: |
Restoration of the recent motor.
Verifying system cylinder and piston , rings change .
I lowered cylinder .
Before compression ratio 8.3 / 1, after 9.5 / 1
I do not recommend this, the camshaft adjustment is not well regulated , the chain of distribution is less tension.
It is better to change the piston with a higher compression , 2 millimeters taller.
Crown trasmision smaller , to run at lower rpm .
Rebuilt carburetor, changed the needle housing to stay two millimeters below, for poorer Carburetion half load .
Widest rear tire before 2.5 " , now 3.0". To make better use of the tire edges corners , ten percent more tread the ground with the same tire .
Fuel tank modified with more capacity. Two liters more per tank. (06/11/2014)
