Peugeot Vogue testing

After fitting the new reed valve and the Tomos Leo-Vince pipe i got out and tested the Vogue. I noticed an instant increase in acceleration and a slight increase in top end. I checked the plug and Im running lean. As i don't have any jets for the stock carb i thinks its time to upgrade to a dellorto SHA.

 

 

Tomos exhaust on Peugeot Vogue

While i had the engine off i thought id have a look at the stock exhaust. Unfortunately the vogue exhaust doesn't have a screw cap like the one on the 103. So i couldn't easily open it up to derestrict it. Then i realised i still had the old Tomos Leo-Vince pipe. So i offered it up and i think it might just work. It'll need a new bracket but it even clears the pedals.

Peugeot Vogue reed valve

I had heard that the stock Peugeot reed valve was restrictive so i swapped it out for a spare from the Tomos with some new gaskets.

Peugeot 103 headlight

Today i fitted a square headlight from the parts bin as the stock headlight wouldnt fit on new wider forks.

Puch City after engine rebuild!

Sinclairio and i both had today off so it was time to get the Puch City with its rebuilt E50 up and running. First we fitted the new stator and set the points gap and then the timing. Next we reinstall the cylinder so that we had a good seal and torqued down the head bolts. Then we installed the intake, carb, and exhaust. Next we topped up with ATF oil. Then it was time to check the timing (120psi) and that we had a spark at the plug (we did). The E50 fired up almost straight away and with the new race crank it revs way higher than before. Only a couple more things to do before it goes for MOT
