Test ride before the MOT

 

Hey!

Been watching Duck Dynasty, hey, so I thought...................... "I wonder if you cold go hunting on a moped, hey?"

Googled it!

Even better, hey, mopeds, women & Guns!!!!

New Paoili hydraulic forks fitted

So today we got the forks fitted and wheel back on, also fitted the bing on as I want to test it's low end capabilities and the performance difference. So these forks are definitely better, bigger but heavier also. The ride should be smoother so I'm pleased with the overall purchase. For €60/£51/ $78's delivered they were a eBay bargain, French eBay certainly has come up trumps with these puppies!
The front mud guard or "fendooor" if your American is going to need to fabrication to get it re-fitted as the aren't any mounting options apart from the god awful look of having it like a mud plucking scrabbler.

Test run and MOT next

Cheers Cookson

Tomos ignition

Since I installed the rebuild engine on my tomos I havent taken it out much but when I did i noticed a slight stutter under throttle and I was convinced it was a problem with my stator which was the only old thing I used on my rebuilt engine. Now recently I upgraded Sinclairios bike to HPI and he said I could use his almost new points stator on my tomos. The only thing I wanted to keep was my 12volt lighting coil. I swapped that onto his stator and installed it on the tomos and set the timing. It fired up first kick but I will have to wait for a dry day to see if this has solved the problem.

 

 

New stator is on the left.

 

 

 

Peugeot Vogue cracked exhaust 2

So today I removed the cracked exhaust so I could assess the damage. It turns out thats its alot worse than I thought so ive ordered a Simonini circuit pipe. I temporarily fitted the stock pipe until the new one arrives.
