Over the last couple of day i sold both the Yamaha Passola and the Puch Magnum X. Now I've got a bit more room to work on the Peugeot and Tomos. Plus with the money from the sales I've ordered a race crank and variator for the peugeot.

Still having problems with the E50
After messing about for hours trying to get the E50 to run and idle and fixing numerous air leaks. I decided to disassemble it to find the source if the problem. The first thing i noticed when i removed the flywheel was that it had been rubbing on the lighting coil and cut through some of its windings. Im pretty sure this wouldn't stop the bike running but i will investigate further. Secondly i discovered that slot in the flywheel that accepts the keyway on the crankshaft has been elongated which may well have affected to timing. Looks like a new lighting coil and flywheel is needed.

Disassembling the 103 motor.
I bought this 103 motor a while ago to use for spares for my Vogue. I decided to disassemble it so i could use the crank case for my next build. The piston was seized in the barrel so i removed the head and filled it with WD40. Hopefully it will have freed up in a day or so.
Peugeot Vogue new SHA intake.
A new intake arrived today. It enables me to mount a dellorto SHA carb on the Peugeot. I already had two SHA carbs in the parts box a 14/12 and a 14/14. I used the best parts from each and dug out the largest jet i had (70). I will mount the intake and carb when i have a bit more time as the Peugeot is running pretty well i don't want it to be off the road for long.
