ZA50 disassembly!

some play in the con-rod from cookson on Vimeo.

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!

One way clutch bearing!

This morning I figured out the problem I was having. When I pressed out the one way clutch bearing from the old drum I installed it backwards in the new one. Unfortunately I've damaged it now so ordered a new one from THEMOPEDJUNKYARD.COM

A3 clutch drum arrived!

My replacement A3 clutch drum arrived today. So I got it installed but somethings not quite right so I'll take another look at it tomorrow. On the left is the old mishapen drum and on the right is the new one with the refinished clutch installed. Oh yeah check out the new bars, same as Sinclairios.
