Popular Post kicker 18,631 Posted December 1, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 After spying a tidy one of these a few months back I have been jonesing to have my own one. The 80's styling, watercooled 2-stroke and foot operated V-TACS system make for a sweet package. One of my regular searches turned this one up for a really cheap price so I couldn't resist. Seller said it has sat in storage for a long time, the latest rego sticker is 1991, done 2098 k's in total and is quite tidy under the filth Chucked a battery on it and the indicators, oil light, brake light and temp gauge work. Power isn't getting to the horn, headlights or starter switch so will check further once I get a diagram. Engine turns a bit but there is a some resistance so will pull the cylinder and check the piston, rings etc Just going to clean it up and try and get it running at this point. Will take some better pics soon. 17 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raizer 17,755 Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 So gross but so damn awesome!! Never realised they were LC, always just assumed they ran an AF16/18 engine. It's just begging for a street-race spec build! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kicker 18,631 Posted December 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Had a quick nosey inside, cylinder looks good, can still see cross hatching and there is no scoring or corrosion. The rings look to be gummed up which is stopping them from getting past the top of the exhaust port so hopefully a good clean and new headgasket is all it will need. Here's the teeny thermostat, can also see the V-TACS chamber in the cylinder/head 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seedy Al 18,027 Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Back Beat the word is on the street, that the thermostat from your engine is out I know, you've heard it all before, but you never really had a doubt I dont believe than any body, can pull a part a Scooter motor, like you. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
