I haven't looked too closely, but I think this one has the high/low selector at least, and a big spring holding the shifter up.

It's tomorrow's mission.

 

 

Looks like I can get a pair of second hand 10x9" alloy wheels for $250 delivered, tyres are going to be the hard part I think.

That's a 10x9 with a 205/30/10 on the left, looks perfect to me.

 

/Should get it legal before even thinking about wheels/pipe/stretch.

It's amazing what you can find when mowing lawns...

 

 

My day didn't pan out as planned, didn't get a chance to have a look at the ATC until late so didn't get much done.

Got some air in the tyres, pulled the seat and drained all the old fuel and replaced with fresh, checked it had oil, and attempted starting it.

After a lot of cranking there was 0 signs of life, bit of start you bastard in the intake and it fired straight up and sounded like a farmers dream...        ...for 3 seconds while it burnt off the either.

I'd dare say the carb is totally blocked, so when I've got more light + less hungry mosquitoes about I'll strip the carbs off this and the Gyro and give them both a total strip and clean (the Gyro wouldn't start today without a shot of either too, so yeah think it's a bit gummed up too.

Fairly sure the forks aren't meant to look like that, will eventually whip them off and press them straight/try and get the brakes working.

Once again I'm out of shed room, have had to migrate a pile of mowers into the sleepout to fit the ATC, still need to make room for the Gyro and go kart somewhere!

Anyone want to buy a SJ50QT to help me make some room/buy Gyro parts?

@MopedNZ do you still have hook ups in Thailand for scoot parts? ThaiGyro over on 49cc has said there's a bit of a following there and lush wheels etc for the Gyro may be cheaper from there than Japan.

@Shakotom It's a 2004 SJ50QT, the pipe is a Sepia ZZ expansion chamber, from memory it tops out about 65 with me on it, easy enough to add a CDI and variator to bump the top speed up if wanted.

Still stock CDI and carb etc just upjetted a couple sizes.

Was in daily use until early February when it was replaced with an AZ50.

I had it running earlier tonight, started up fine, has been known to be a touch temperamental to start when it's been sitting and smokes a LOT for a few minutes, I'm pretty sure that's just a case of the check-valve between the oil pump and the inlet letting oil past and it's pooling up in the crankcase, I've got another pump and bits here just never got around to swapping it over.

Have got a Sepia ZZ disk brake front end that needs the brakes looked at and other bits that can go with it.

@Raizer Gyro scene wasn't that massive that I knew of but I do know where you can get the decent wheels, wide and crazy. 

 

Search for the name on the 2 right pictures below on Facebook. He's a Filipino dude shacked up with a Thai bird. Ships world wide and speaks English. Worth a shot.

Sweet trike.

My parents have an even older version where the rims and tyres are one piece. Think about 4 inch rims with really big balloons moulded onto them.

Rode it all the time when we were kids and noone died or even got hurt. It floated too so was fun in the creek :)

Just googled and found out what it is.
