Probably the wisest words to adhere by for such an adventure because unlike the last couple of years the Waikaremoana road is just as crazy as the Motu road but over twice as long and alot more remote if the shit hits the spinny blade things. To put it in context, my brother is a paramedic based in Rotorua which is your nearest help for an ouchy. Hes had calls of people going into labour/breaking something while out pig hunting somewhere off the Waikaremoana road and by the time they get there in an ambulance(because unless your properly dying its not worth sending a helicopter) they have walked out of the bush, splinted the broken bone/administered local pain relief and dont want to go to hospital or had the baby under a fern bush walked out of the bush and are home eating boilup/dont want to go to hospital. TLDR: once you get on the gravel after Murupara its a long long way from anything so ride safely, dont be a dick and dont end up in the back of an ambulance with shit yarns from H.lux jr all the way back to Rotorua to be told by ED staff your a pussy for wasting their time -

Someone needs to sacrifice a small engine to the moped gods for appeasement to allow safe travels with no accidents or breakdowns. Nobody wants a free ride to the A&E with a grumpy real estate agent again -

Oh boy i cant wait for PGs -
E1 TE1 it with a paperclip SST too, see if it throws any codes

Iv had a map 3y with a cold start.... If it does and unplugging the injector fixes it the problem is the cold start temp sensor, if it doesn’t have one for some reason then the ecu coolant temp sensor is also the problem otherwise you got leaky injectors
-
Unplug the cold start injector on the inlet manifold to see if it makes the problem go away

Been having better look at the ts125 motor Its missing the oil pump which is annoying because I wanted to run self mix, its the same bolt mounting pattern as most suzuki but ts50 tf125 or ds80 aint the right orientation so im on the hunt for an oil pump that will work. Carb is chooched but a tf125 one will work fine because that’s what i have spare Got the stator cover off and swapped on the ts50 factory stator with the ts125 flywheel as its low profile to fit under the cover. Took the plug out and spun the engine up with a drill to confirm charging system and spark which was a success. Waiting for a chain alignment tool to show up then i can look at where the engine is actually going sit

2 months til Urewera nicotine and nangs so time to try make the TS50 go again. After doing a bit of research I figured out that I needed a motor from another mono shock model as the gearcase is a different shape to a TF125/DS80. Much barry spec searching found a late model monoshock TS125 was a thing so started looking for one that was cheap enough to take a punt on the engine fitting. Found a $100 "blown up" shitheap on marketplace that @datlow the GC picked up for me and even delivered it from Wellington. Turns out with some brakekleen in the carb it runs fine, gearbox sounds like a bag of dicks but I put some oil in it and its happier. Piston/rings look fine through the exhaust port Encouraged that my blown up engine runs pretty good I pulled it out this arvo and offered it up to the TSfiddy engine hole. Tight fit but still lots of room to add mounts once I somehow hold the engine square and in line with the chain. Stoked to have something thats finally going to fit with minimal work, just make 3 mounts swap stator and coil to get 12v off the engine then sort out some sort of bodged together spanny
