Hhhmmm, so ive come up with some options. 1, Buy oversize piston, fix head, bore barrel and insert a new head stud (forgot to mention that it had a broken stud) 2, Investigate as to whether a pw50 top end will bolt onto the v50 engine 3, See if i can get it registered as it is and then secretly bolt in a pw80 or lifan/loncin 110cc or something All seem pretty possible but am leaning towards option 1 a bit more

Yeah might just go for the oversized piston. Bore looks okay considering it sat for just over 30 years but might aswell get it cleaned up, get as much power out of the old girl as I can. Head looks a bit tired though, I think the spark plug must've been stuck and someone really butchered it getting out as there is a small crack on top and the thread needs a tidy up to.

Hi all I've finally got around to posting up my v50 project. So with out further'a'do, here's the BEAST At this stage the goal is to first get it running, then re-registering it. Have the original plate with an old rego sticker saying it was last registered in 1980 hahah. aaaand above is the reason why its not running but il be getting a new piston off ebay, even considering going as far as a new head and barrel aswell but the currrent ones aren't too bad. Once its on the road the fun can begin, Customizing Also, ive seen i can buy a completely brand new piston, barrel, head and gaskets off ebay that go on a pw50. However looking at pictures it looks almost (if not exactly) identical to the v50. Any idea on wether it would work? Doesn't cost too much so could be a good experiment Anyway, let the fun begin
