Re: Polini Contessa BBK for 2000 Dio questions

After reading d*** near every thread on here I went with the contessa as it seemed to be a great kit and a bolt and go kind of BBK that was reliable and well built. After just installing and running on my third tank I can say that you won't be disappointed with it. I'm going back to read a thread I...

Re: Polini Contessa BBK for 2000 Dio questions

Greetings: The Contesta Iron cylinder is a trouble-free swap with your 50cc cylinder. Stock pipe and carb with airbox should be fine, but you will need a bit larger main jet and perhaps a 1% oil mix in the tank along with the stock pump. Someone on here - sorry I forget who it is - has run a Corsa ...

Polini Contessa BBK for 2000 Dio questions

Hi all, I have a few questions regarding this kit. I own a 2000 Dio (Canadian sk50 AF18)and I'm kinda giving up trying to get my cheap 50cc kit to work with all of the soft seizing, so I'm looking at changing it out with a BBK. Through looking at different sites, it appears that this kit comes with ...

Re: Post engine build break in procedures

I PM'd someone earlier this afternoon about a "top end" they were selling, but no reply yet.
And for a BBK, its a good idea, but not sure about whats all needed in the carb department, exhaust or clutch.(unless someone can point out exactly what I would need)

Re: Post engine build break in procedures

those cheap bores need to be honed as they are not round and the ports need to be chamfered befor use or you sorft seize as the clearences and not right .It is straight of the chinese casts and they are rough. So do you think I should hone the heck out of it? Will I need a new piston? Rings? Thinki...

Re: Post engine build break in procedures

are you running the stock air flter ????? swimmingfree Stock airfilter=yup! Everything is stock. I even checked to see that I burnt oil as I topped it right up before I left and it had gone down some. I'm thinking that this el cheapo 50cc kit was just that; cheap! I think I want to go back to the s...

Re: Post engine build break in procedures

Well the straight gas didn't help out very well. I had at least 4 soft seizes on my 18km run, though it is probably just the cheap pos 50cc kit that I bought. I'm ready to but something with more quality as this isn't working out! That was the reason that I used mixed gas before as I would have a fe...

Re: Post engine build break in procedures

Ok Wheelman-111, shall do. I have only rebuild a scooter once, this one, but have rebuilt many snowmobile 2 strokes and its always regarded to add extra oil to the gas for the first tank even with the oil pump working. I just thought that all 2 strokes were the same. I guess not; these scoots are a ...

Re: Post engine build break in procedures

It's still stock size, 50cc. I think I will run one more tankful of mix gas just to be safe. Looks like one tankful will equate to about 200km, so with two, I'll achieve the 400km break-in.

Even though I just got this scoot going, I'm itching to install a bbk! lol

Re: Post engine build break in procedures

Its not too hilly, but when there is a hill, I don't over do it.
Should I keep mixing oil to my gas until its broken in or is the one tankful good enough?

Post engine build break in procedures

So I just rebuilt my 2000 Dio with just a reg bore kit. I did some heat cycles from which I read on the net. I am mixing a 50:1 ratio along with my oil pump working. How many Kms should I do before I start doing WOT? I figure about two tankfuls...thoughts?
