New seat

So the new seat finally arrived from Treats, it took 3 wks in all. Two days to get here and the rest of the time it was sat in customs awaiting Clearance! A £18 custom charge and the beauty was in my hands. Just need to make a bracket to mount the seat to the frame! Will probably do that on the weekend then!

ZA50 has compression

So we mounted the ZA50, bolted straight up like a gooden! Tested the compression by attaching a drill to the flywheel. Compression is good and we have a good spark. Will try n get the motor running tomorrow!

ZA50 disassembly!


My Puch City is a Cynthia!

So after all the work and replacing gaskets, cylinder & pistons the E50 died in dramatic fashion! All vitals were good, but when started it sounded like a bag of nails! We think that the crank is faulty and has come loose some how! The con-rod has a lot of play in it (left and right) which I don't think is normal! So........... Mopeds at dawn have bought a ZA50! The two speed model should give us some head aches but also should give me some real speed too!
