sweet idea man, looking forward to it .... once my dollar is worth anything

Does anyone know if you can convert a 1985 nh80 (aero) to kickstart http://i.imgur.com/vx38TTCl.jpg to http://i.imgur.com/W3yosXCl.jpg by buying the gears and trans cover? from what i can tell the (8,10) gears appear the same but have different part numbers the trans covers appear identical 1985 htt...

right now on the morning commute its about 40f not too bad yet.. 70f on the way home... much nicer

did anything surface about this? i would love to try printing this model (i have a 3d printer and just ordered a spool of nylon) i really dont want to attempt to make a 3d model from scratch (i suck at it) or try and use my ct scanner (at work) to attempt to get a 1:1 copy i am willing to pay for th...

looking sick sir!

looking sick sir!
Good job!
do you ever go to the Victoria rally may long weekend? i would love to see it in person!

as a side note, guys that do this kind of thing are always in short supply, kinda sucks that this kind of work is replaceable parts so in the future there will be very few people that have this kind of knowledge and ability to keep our archaic toys alive

i would ask for a quote for such a thing, in my experience buying a new jug and piston is usually cheaper... *edit* but from the site it looks to be quite reasonable, you should let us know if you get it done!! if you can find replacements that is. Did you figure out what was causing the soft seize?...

be wary of those, i think those are for 4stroke (modern) dio's (af56/63)

on webike look on this page for chambers

they don't really have a great selection for af16/18

that's a good catch! glad you found the problem!

looking sexier in every picture, nice build so far!

i usually just use electrical tape to restrict the intake (usually on the aftermarket filter) if i don't have the proper jets to get the jetting right there are a couple folks on this forum that still have parts for that engine (even new ones like the malossi big bore kit) the jets are fairly standa...

have you tested a 1st gen zuma/bws?
