Puch gearing complete

I Finally got around to gearing the Puch & the E50, slapped a 16 tooth so it's now 16x45. Still really responsive, does 30mph easy, cruising at quarter throttle. Does 40mph and manages the hills well. So that's it I'm happy with that not going to mess about with it now. 40mph was my goal and to get up the hills that we are surrounded by. Need to sort the jetting though as its still to rich.

Helicoil Heaven

Helicoil Heaven

 So this morning I woke up with one thing on my mind, getting this head fixed. so the kit arrived yesterday and so there was nothing stopping me.


I drilled it out & tapped it with the new tap from the kit ready for the helicoil insert

the tapping was easy actually steel in alloy works like a hot knife through butter. i used the insertion tool and it worked.... like i ever doubted it...



 Only downside of the kit, was the magnetic tool supplied to break off the nubbing thingy broke straight away.... obviously no expense spared in the making of this tool.

put the head back on, carb, exhaust etc and it started on the first kick #goodtimes a rolling....
